Hackathon report

So today was my first "personal hackathon". I think it was pretty successful. I setup the ability to add arbitrary subdomains for my website.

These subdomains can redirect to arbitrary webapps. All I have to do is just add the container and a few labels and I'm good to go. This was basically the goal and I was able to reach it ^.^

Anyone have any suggestions for me, for next week's hackathon?

I guess I do really want to learn k8s. Last time I tried, I got bored making a "no-op" app, and then trying to deploy that. I think what's better would be to gradually build the app as I deploy it. Here are some milestones for it:

  1. Deploy a simple static website on my local network. A simple Deployment with 3 replicas.
  2. Be able to interact with some backend
  3. Make the website dynamic, by updating based on the response from the backend.
  4. Add persistence.
  5. Add authentication.
  6. Add metrics loggnig.

That seems like enough I reckon.
