I’ve managed to power down 2 of my 3 x86 servers in the colo. This blog (now moved) and my nephew’s Minecraft servers seem to be the only remaining workloads on the remaining x86 node.

The blog’s new home falls under my “legacy” static hosting model. Aka content is stored in a share on my synology, I then expose the content to an NFS mounted folder from an Nginx pod. Traffic is back-hauled through haproxy on my Hetzner VPS, through Wireguard to my “external” ingress-nginx controller, which is configured to support the PROXY protocol.

When the blog was hosted in Lanecloud, it was stored in Minio, and reverse proxied via Nginx. At the time, I had spent a ton of time with the Nginx configuration so that it hid any hint of Minio. It was probably unnecessary, but it was a fun exercise.

Rclone supports SMB, which really simplified moving the blog. I just changed my rclone target in my blog script to use an SMB target on my Synology instead of the rclone job to Minio. Pretty rad.
