December 2022 Monthly Report

+

+ + + + + + Aravinth Manivannan + + + · 31 + December + +, + 2022 · 3 min read +

+ + +
+ + +

These past couple of months have been very busy interesting, LibrePages +went from being a simple git pull webhook to fully-fledged platform +that can deploy static sites from any Git forge.

+

This month, the following things were accomplished:

+

1. Deploy site from dashboard# +

+

It is now possible to deploy and manage websites with log inspection +right from the dashboard. LibrePages will automatically assign a +randomly generated, but friendly-sounding subdomain on a domain that the +LibrePages system manages. It is also possible to inspect deployment +events, like site updates, to troubleshoot errors in the deployment +pipelines.

+

Custom domain support isn't available at the moment but will be +implemented soon.

+

2. Forms support# +

+

Forms are useful but creating a separate backed or relying on +privacy-invasive tech like Google Forms is very inconvenient. Popular +JAMStack platforms like Netlify provide forms support, so we thought +implementing forms support will be useful.

+

LibrePages Forms is a separate +service that can be +integrated into the system. It accepts form submissions in both JSON and +application/x-www-form-urlencode. Adding it to your +LibrePages-deployed website is very simple, please see +here for instructions.

+

3. Forgejo and Gitea integration# +

+

LibrePages exposes an endpoint which users can call to update their +deployments. This allows us to support all types of Git-based forges. In +addition to the endpoint, we now expose a webhook that is compatible +with Forgejo and Gitea. This way, the deployment will automatically be +updated when a push event is received at the deployed branch, without the +user (or their CI) requiring to call the endpoint.

+

4. Sysadmin: logging and debugging# +

+

LibrePages is complicated system made of multiple services. It also uses +several third-party applications, like Nginx, to serve websites. +Debugging an issue that affecting multiple services used be complicated +but LibrePages now includes instrumentation to monitor with +Prometheus and provides distributed tracing via +OpenTelemetry-based based utilities like Jagger.

+

5. Nginx, bind and Let's Encrypt# +

+

LibrePages is modular, it can be integrated into any existing system, +like Gna! and Enough +Community to provide static site hosting. We +do this using +Conductor, which allows +LibrePages to integrate with multiple DNS servers/providers, reverse +proxies and other third-party applications that LibrePages would depend +on.

+

Currently, we are working on supporting a system based on Nginx, Bind9 and Let's Encrypt.

+

6. Infrastructure-as-Code# +

+

Infrastructure as code to deploy the full +system is +being worked on. So far, we've implemented deploying a Debian server +using Terraform and libvirt. Installing and and configuring LibrePages +is being worked on.

+

Thanks# +

+

I would like to thank the Easter-eggs +for funding team for funding my work on +LibrePages <3
