| My infrastructure | 2024-10-13T19:53:17.597Z | true |
Any website or server has to have some type of infrastructure.
This infrastructure may be small or large, depending on the organization. For example, Microsoft has many large systems and services that require upkeep and maintenance.
A person may also run hosts and services. While these don't have the same scale as a big company, the hosts still need to be managed.
In this post, I will detail how I run my infrastructure.
Providers
Because I am a student, I don't have the resources for hosting critical services myself. Ideally, I would love to host my infrastructure on hosts I own, but that's not possible. Instead, I rent servers and services from cloud providers. These providers are as follows:
-
Hetzner - a German company
- They provide a dedicated 2 vCPU server with 8 GB RAM.
- They also provide a Storage Box that is used for various need such as backups and general storage.
-
Contabo - a German company
- They currently provide one 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM server.
-
Backblaze - a US company
- They are a storage provider specializing in S3 storage.
- They provide storage for several services as well as general storage.
Software
Now I will detail the software and the host it runs on.
