Deployment

As part of documenting my current deployment, I wanted to document where I deploy things in 2026. At a high level, I am still using saltstack and docker for deployment. I have slowly migrated some things from the cloud to a local homelab.

I use saltstack to manage deployment of docker containers in my homelab. For two of my cloud servers, I am running them in memory constrained environments for cost reasons, and typically only run the minimum required there.

Usually you can run an application without knowing what language it is written in. Sometimes when debugging unexpected behavior, that becomes very important. While debuging some headers changing, knowing that Caddy was written in [golang] explained the bug.

Over time, I’ve been slowly refining how I automatically deploy things to my development environment. This is an improvement to my previous deploy from github

This week I gave a presentation at LINE Developer Meetup #47 in Fukuoka entitled Automating deployments from GitHub using SaltStack .
