AWS Building a static site with S3, Cloudfront and Jekyll I experimented with a static site, hosted on AWS S3. After some years, I have decided to preserve the blog basics here in one megapost, and shut down the original "Wordcasa" S3 site.
Dev Building my app foundation: Ionic + React, Amplify, Appsync, Lambda resolver In this mega post, I will create an Ionic app that will initiate a query from a mobile front end, issue requests over the internet to an AWS GraphQL API, and via AppSync, invoke a Lambda, to process and return dummy data.
AWS "Moving" my S3 backup bucket to a new AWS region I have moved the Techroads server from an AWS US region to an AWS EU region. This server and its chums are backing up to an S3 bucket, which has been left behind in the US.
AWS What *are* AWS Amplify and AppSync, and should I use them? I am old in IT but new in development, and I've been spending time researching what tools and platforms to use for a social-good app I am making. I have some idea now around which Javascript framework to use, and am diving in to deployment, integration, and hosting
Docker A move to truly private web analytics - self hosting Matomo with Docker, Traefik and MariaDB Moving away from Google Analytics has been on my to-do list for quite a long time.

Ghost Filling up a 1GB server with a stack of Ghost blogs I have a kind of rudimentary "Ghost multisite" in the form of a Docker stack, so just how many Ghost blogs can I stuff into a single 1GB virtual server?
AWS Scheduling an AWS CLI backup to S3 in Linux I'll cover creation of the S3 bucket, configuration of the AWS IAM security, installation of the AWS CLI, some key commands, and creating a cron job to automate it.
Docker Building Ghost in a docker container with Ubuntu, Traefik, and SQLite My early experiments with installing Ghost presented a curio: it's so light, how do I install without eating a whole VPS server. Or even make use of this one server for more than one Ghost blog, effectively a Ghost multisite.
