The Journey of fogserv.cloud
WIP
Our friend DewDrop started on porkbun, adventured to Racknerd and ended on Ghost.
the racknerd links are Affiliate links, click knowing that you are supporting us
This is that story
- Every website needs a domain, Porkbun has that covered, I would recommend being lazy and just register the domain through nerdrack, but trust me, you do NOT want to take that journey,.. it's one of the worst forms of Lock in. That said, once registered, skip to step 4.
- Register an account on racknerd, for a small site just getting started for testing purposes and getting your feet wet, i recommend Racknerd.
- Having procured the Domain and Host, it's time to move into the host.. setting up various basic bits, like security and getting the first set of app packages we need installed. We say basic, because as with any journey, the threats shift and change with time, we can't cover all possible scenarios, but we can cover some sane essentials in the security side of things.
- Having the Host setup, it's time to install ghost itself.
- Gongratulations! Ghost is Installed... As with any journey, once one is done, another begins... Lets customize and finish moving into Ghost. Maingun, and more..
- more...
If you are truly curious and want to look under the curtain, here is the full bash history for the server itself.
