It is time for me to quit managing all of my Kubernetes configurations on a random number of servers and Git repos. Sadly, my usage of the Git repos has ONLY been used to perform backups of my code and not used as a way to manage configuration changes. I have been running in DigitalOcean’s infrastructure since 2017, Member since 1/14/2017. I’ve steadily moved from just Droplets into their more managed infrastructure to include Kubernetes and App Platform....
From that previous post, you’ll note that I had a bunch of unanswered questions. Some of those questions might remain unanswered. By the time you get to the end of this post, you might be able to address them yourself. I’m going to focus on automating static WordPress updates whenever a new post is published.

This post focuses on me being lazy. In the previous post, I talked about building a custom image and posting it to the Docker Hub. I have also talked about creating a Git repo and storing everything in it thus far. What if we could make a commit rebuild our image for us? As luck would have it, you can do this! This post is going to focus on making that very simple change to your Docker Hub repository so that every commit causes the image to be rebuilt to the latest....
In my previous post, I explained how to setup a simple nginx instance that could be used to sync to a private Git repo. The only drawback is that this setup will only serve static pages. What if you wanted to be able to run a server with dynamic code like PHP? I’m glad you asked! In this post, we’ll update our config to include a php-fpm instance to allow us to serve PHP pages....
