Cloudflare DNS KISS Overengineered

tldr; simplfying the blog using Jekyll and moving to Cloudflare.

The previous version of this site was composed off a dumb web client (Angular JS), SpringBoot API and a Mongo database all running in Docker (Swarm mode) on a few Raspberry Pis. I only wanted to blog, despite learning a lot this approach had to much operational overhead, so I’ve simplifed the applications architecture by moving to Jekyll and GitHub pages. Jekyll enables you to create a blog from static content. it’s easy, plus no more databases to maintain.
