Funding - Keyboard Mastodon is currently funded by the admin, for a cost of ~$40 - $45 per month. Donations may be opened in the future, but have not been set up at this time.
+ +If you're not a mega-nerd, turn back now.
I warned you.
Keyboard Vagabond is run on a 3 node Kubernetes cluster running on 3x Arm VPSs hosted by NetCup in Amsterdam. I chose Amsterdam because I thought that Europe would be more centrally located for people who are traveling the world.
+Servers - 3x 10 ARM vCPUs, 16GB Ram, 500GB (~50GB for Talos and the rest for Longhorn) storage running Talos and Kubernetes. -
Storage - Longhorn ensures that there are at least 2 copies across the nodes.
-Backups and Content - Backups and content are stored in S3 storage hosted by BackBlaze with CloudFlare providing CDN. I've already run through disaster recovery and restored database backups from S3.
-CDN - CloudFlare provides CDN and special rules have been set up to be sure that as much as possible is cached.
-Security - ports are closed off to the world and secured with CloudFlare tunnels and TailScale as the only means of access outside of website access.
-Observability and Logging - OpenObserve dashboards and log aggregation.
-Domain - domain is provided by CloudFlare
-Services - Typical arrangement for services is that web services get 2 instances and workers get 1 instance with autoscaling. Web pods scale horizontally and workers scale vertically, then horizontally.
-Source Code - If I get the source code to where I'm comfortable sharing, I'll post a link here. And if you're experienced in k8s, I'd always appreciate a review. :)
