About

A collection of notes gathered during my day job.

Site is maintained by me, Alan Jeskins-Powell, long time DBA and developer.
I can be reached by email at: alan @ 252.uk

This site is self hosted in a Linux Container on a server in my office,
running Caddy webserver,
serving Markdown pages,
pulled from a private Gitea Git repository (also hosted in a Linux Container),
converted to HTML by the Hugo static site generator.
The last two steps happen automatically when changes are pushed to Git, courtesy of the Caddy Exec module.
All of the site maintenance happens in the Studio Code Server editor I use for just about every file edit:
- Make a change and save it.
- Commit it to the Git repository.
- Push to Git
Caddy then takes care of pulling the changes (using a Git webhook) and running Hugo to generate the site.

You could build all of this yourself, all of the tools are freely available.
Or you could let me do the heavy lifting for you and get one of our containers ready built.
Head over to 252 Digital UK for details.

Update Dec 2022:
Gitub are sunsetting Atom. Since that announcement we have moved all of our editing to VSCode. Either as an add-on in Home Assistant or direct install.
