About this site
The site templates are managed "as code" using terraform. Few other tools are involved - the source code of the site is still hand-rolled for better or worse, with a little help from vscode.
sam.julianhaight.com, is a tiny "bare metal" Intel NUC. It runs nginx to host web pages and Let's Encrypt to manage SSL certificates. Between 1997 and 2022, I co-located the server on business-class internet. Residential is so good now, it's not worth it.
Like it's namesake, the brave Sam Gamgee, Frodo Baggins' tireless servant from J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy The Lord of the Rings, it rarely lets me down.
