This is the home of my personal website, desktop and mobile friendly.

I thought after a few years and a few jobs, that my website needed a new look!

I chose to make this project with Hugo, as an exercise in learning something new.

Major thanks to the Hugo Grayscale template creator for inspiration.

This project is powered by Docker and NGINX, and is served from a cloud hosting provider.

Fail2ban was added as, on most cloud providers, bots started mining for exploits.

Technical details

• This website's build pipeline is an example of a multi-stage docker build using Hugo
• This website uses a basic custom nginx configuration
• This website uses fail2ban to temporarily ban problematic IP addresses through firewall rules using the nginx logs
• Certbot certificates are in use, making for easy periodic renewal
