Hello world!
- 01 April 2024
Welcome to my new blog! I’ll gradually describe all my adventures with self-hosting of various services, including blog/website, files and photos.
I started my website/blog in 2014. It was served using wordpress that was set up on virtual machine (VM) in google cloud.
I felt for a long time that running a dedicated VM for a blog is an overkill. There was huge overhead in maintaining both, the VM (regular system updates and backups) as well as wordpress itself (updates and database backups).
