Howdy!

This is the github repo for the masto.nyc v2.0 infrastructure. This is essentially what the old kubernetes-only code looks like now that it's migrated to Digital Ocean. It's pretty quiet here, but feel free to open an issue or reach out to us on mastodon. We'll try and keep todo items in the issues list.

Why Digital Ocean?

Since we came from a bare metal Kubernetes setup, we wanted to maintain as much of that infrastructure as possible- and we also wanted to follow our server principals of supporting NYC-based companies whenever possible. Luckily, Digital Ocean not only offered a k8s package but is also based out of NYC!

Setup instructions:

Replace tofu with terraform if that's your drug of choice 🤷

1. In the DOcean console, generate a new Personal access token. Put them aside for later.
2. From that page, click on the "Spaces Keys" tab and create a new set of s3 creds for the state. Put them aside for later.
3. Create a terraform.tfvars file. Populate it with the correct do_token (from step 1), state_bucket, and state_key variables.
4. Run the following command to initialize the state with your s3 creds (from step 2): tofu init -backend-config="secret_key=YOURSECRETKEY" -backend-config="access_key=YOURACCESSKEY"
5. Follow these steps to set up kubectl.
6. cheers. There's no state lock so try not to step on other people's toes pls ty 🤷
