This is Hobby Stacks' baseline project for provisioning the Infrastructure as Code using Terraform on DigitalOcean.
Our goal is to define a technology stack for hobby projects with minimal costs. We also want to offer real-world examples that go beyond basic tutorials that showcase technologies or features in overly simplified scenarios.
We decided to gear this tech stack towards commercial projects which meant opting for a private container registry and code repository.
| Features | Tools | Alternatives | Costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting | DigitalOcean | Vultur | 5$ |
| Container Registry (Private) | Azure Container Registry | GitLab Container Registry* | 5$ / Free |
| Repositories (Private) | Azure DevOps | GitLab, GitHub | Free |
| CI/CD Pipelines | Azure Pipelines | GitLab, GitHub Actions, Travis CI | Free |
