Condense droplets

[HenrySlawniak]

Currently we run three digital ocean droplets,

1. ardacraft.io (website, map proxy etc.)
2. forums.ardacraft.me (Forums)
3. influx.ardacraft.io (influxDB and secret dev playground(more to come later))

In theory we could save some cash by condensing 1 and 3 into a single larger box. Ideally in a region that supports volumes as NYC2 does not.

Along with the merge, I'd like to dockerize some of our services and modernize the infrastructure as a whole. It's currently a cluster fuck of random services that run, usually not very well.

In this move, we could also move the stewardship of the droplets to a "Team" which would let us spin up little VMs as needed and not worry too much.

The biggest question is how to coordinate the massive re-IPing that will need to take place.

Also transition away from trash .me TLD???

Also need to fix this on the landing page:

Most of this can be fixed with a dead simple service worker, and then tuning it correctly since most of the landing page content is static.

sounds good.

the initial price for .com is a bit steep though (upwards of £1500). fresh could run the mc server on that for like 2 years. any reasonable, better alternatives?

[HenrySlawniak]

I already have .org, and .net, as well as .io. But I think Fresh already has plans for .io

Okay so here's what needs to move

• ArdaCraft/WebHooks (Roll into an HTTP/2 server with autocert and dump nginx as a reverse proxy)
• ci.ardacraft.io Jenkins?
• Forums
• Prometheus metrics (let's start monitoring this shit for real)
