🌟 Launch Announcement: boomksd.shop! 🌟
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my new website, boomksd.shop! Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how I brought it to life using cutting-edge cloud technologies and CI/CD practices:
The Journey
🚀 Step 1: Building the Foundation
• Spun up an Ubuntu 20.04 instance on AWS (t3.micro) with 10 GB of storage.
• Configured the essentials:
• Nginx for web server management.
• MySQL for database support.
• Node.js v20 and Ghost CLI to power the content platform.
• Allocated an Elastic IP and seamlessly mapped it to my domain with Route 53 for a reliable DNS setup.
⚙️ Step 2: Deploying the Ghost CMS
• Set up the website in /var/www/ghost-site and fine-tuned permissions.
• Installed Ghost CMS and verified its readiness using ghost doctor.
• Customized the Ghost configuration to reflect my domain: boomksd.shop.
🔧 Step 3: Automating with GitLab CI/CD
• Built an automated pipeline with GitLab CI/CD to streamline deployments:
• Build: Prepares the environment and installs dependencies.
• Download: Fetches the latest website content from the repository.
• Test: Runs checks to ensure a seamless experience before deployment.
What Sets This Up Apart?
• Reliability: Hosted on AWS, ensuring uptime and scalability.
