Context As I may have mentioned in previous articles I run my services using Ansible to deal with the deployment and upgrade of different components. If we generalize the setup, it mostly consists of a reverse proxy (Caddy) listening on 443 and app stacks running under docker on their own network that connects to Caddy’s one. Something that looks like that: Issue My Ansible playbook is structured in a way where the reverse proxy is spawned first and then each app is deployed one by one, registering its own configuration against Caddy’s API in order to be served....

I agree that it can’t always be the case but I feel I should strive for it whenever I can....

Previous Quarter Plan A quarter plan (let’s start with a quick win!) ✅ A blog post on my first ever contribution to OpenStreetMap (don’t get your hopes high, it was a really really tiny thing) ❌ Continuing the CivicTech meetups by Les Bricodeurs ❌ Had to be put on hold for now, not that I don’t want to participate in anymore but those meetups have been paused so there’s that Refactoring of all the Ansible playbooks to deal with my server 🔁 This one has been started but is still an ongoing work....

This is mainly a personal thing to help keep track of what I was trying to achieve and what is my current advancement status. I’m not yet really sure of what the form of this report will be.
