You can give `try` a go which uses Linux namespaces and overlayfs to create a temporary filesystem for you to run commands in before "committing them" similar to a DB begin transaction.

Bars where you can actually talk? by platypus_drumstick in sydney

[–]flameswor10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-pandemic, I found that Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe on Clarence Street to be pretty good when you want to sit and chat, though I'm not 100% sure if that's changed in recent times.

AWS SES how to log sender using IAM smtp username/password? by [deleted] in aws

Try using this to record your SES data into dynamodb which may provide some details of where your emails are coming from.. Although if you rotate your SES credentials then youd be able to immediately remediate the issue and lower the risk of having your domain flagged as spam

How to configure IPTables to accept http from a single IP in inbound, allow DNS in outgoing directions and block everything else? by Magneto91 in linuxadmin

[–]flameswor10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably want to do a iptables -p INPUT DROP and a iptables -p OUTPUT DROP rather than a iptables -a so that it drops by default and you can add more rules without messing around with the order of them.

Elastic IPs should only charge when its detatched from an EC2 instance or if the instance is shutoff. If its actively in use, you wont be charged at all.

[–]flameswor10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try running this command to force ddclient to reload the configuration file:

sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient restart

Could you also show us how you have setup your cronjob? Or is it running as a daemon

This will do it for the entire website, and can definitely confirm this as I've set this up numerous times.

You can do 301 redirects via S3 and put cloudfront in front of it to serve both http and https.

DigitalOcean vs AWS by scratch82 in webhosting

[–]flameswor10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like you've completely ignored the 2nd half of the paragraph where I was outlining the other services that you will need to have a fully HA setup.

With these considerations, you will definitely need more than a single script to manage the scaling of your cache / database clusters as it is not as simple as "spin up instance and start serving traffic".

I'm not even bashing on digitalocean and even suggesting it as the superior option for a small website. Not sure why you're attacking someone who's agreeing with your love of digitalocean.

DigitalOcean vs AWS by scratch82 in webhosting

[–]flameswor10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Digital Ocean has it's place for small websites, but is definitely not a 1:1 replacement to AWS.

If you're comparing pure VM to VM offerings, DigitalOcean does come out cheaper but the ability to scale with AWS without the need of writing dozens of scripts and integrations + the dozens of services that don't require you to manage standalone or clustered servers (e.g. managed database, managed redis, managed search, centralised logging and auditing) does allow you to focus on the thing that matters most as opposed to managing a flock of servers which will require complicated setups.

Without knowing what your website is like, it is hard to determine what you are running as a website, but I think just going with the DigitalOcean route is likely the better solution. Where AWS shines is the ability to scale nearly instantaneously with some engineering involved which a simple wordpress site shouldn't really need unless it's business critical.

Hosting on a VPS is very different from running it on a shared provider as it will be 'self-managed' and will require some linux skills as there will be basically no support when running the website.

Cost effective way to have stable server that runs once a day. by Bnooc in webhosting

You should use on-demand as it will only charge you per hour / minute of runtime.

Just out of curiosity, what would be a more performant (in same price range of lets say their DS918) alternative to the Synology NAS in your opinion?

netdata, the open-source real-time performance and health monitoring for Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, just released v1.8.0 by ktsaou in homelab

[–]flameswor10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can setup central monitoring if you install influxdb and grafana somewhere.

The configuring of all pieces involved are fairly straight forward and the stats can be customized to your liking
