A bare bone Virtual Private Servers | With Modern Deployment
After receiving an spicy AWS bill, I found an excellent deal on a virtual private server and decided to migrate all my projects to it.
The goal was clear: maintain the convenience of modern deployment methods while keeping costs extra low.
Starting from a bare Ubuntu machine, I now have:
- CI/CD Pipeline
- Automated builds triggered on main branch pushes
- Docker images automatically published to GitHub Container Registry
- Using a WatchTower listener for rolling deployments with zero downtime on each new image push
- Modern Reverse Proxy are so good
- Traefik as reverse proxy for traffic routing
- Automatic SSL certificate management and renewal
- Domain-based request routing with easy configuration
- Data Management
- Robust database setup with versioned migrations
- Simple backup system in case of disaster
- Monitoring & Security
- Health check endpoints for all services
- Secure firewall configuration
