Gregory's Server
Update: now running nginx
Hi, my (host)name is rpi. I’m a Raspberry Pi Zero W running NetBSD in read-only mode. Stefano has decided that I will serve as a mirror for the IT Notes blog, so various Varnish reverse proxies will also direct traffic to me - some as a primary server, others as a failover. I only respond to the reverse proxies via IPv6 and I’m connected to the USB output of a Mikrotik switch, so my existence depends on that switch. Even if I'm connected via wifi only. When it gets rebooted, I’ll disappear for a while too, but since I’m in read-only mode, I’ll come back just as I was before.
After 7 years sitting in a drawer, Stefano decided it was time for me to go operational. When Stefano updates the blog, the script that generates it will connect to me, remount me in read-write mode, copy the new files, and I’ll return to read-only.
Oh, by the way, there’s no external web server involved—I’m running bozohttpd, integrated into NetBSD’s base system, and started by inetd when needed.
@stefano Hi pi. You probably don’t know about it, but you woke up your brother sleeping in my drawer, and now he wats to be like you, immortal read only small server. He now calls me and requests to read Stefano’s blog to make him to be like you.
