Project Athens
|
|
|
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Project Athens is an effort to consolidate my own online presence
|
|
|
|
|
onto a common platform that is not only easier to maintain
|
|
|
|
|
but also more managable from an operations pov.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the code in this repository has to do with the infrastructure
|
|
|
|
|
of the project which is used to host services that I host myself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Section 1. Preamble/Abstract
|
|
|
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This explanation will take on a bottom up approach because the technical
|
|
|
|
|
goals/processes are what make up the deliverable value(to myself).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also this project is just for me so fuck off if you don't like it.
|
|
|
|

|
Section 2. The Hosts/Services
|
|
|
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Services to host are listed below with their respective roles:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Docker host:
|
|
|
|
|
- Discord Chat Bots
|
|
|
|
|
- Lewdlad(Server Management Chat Bot)
|
|
|
|
|
- Musical Maurice(Music Voice Bot)
|
|
|
|
|
- My personal clippable instance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Static Nginx server:
|
|
|
|
|
- Personal Website
|
|
|
|
|
Served under shockrah.xyz
|
|
|
|
|
- Resume Website
|
|
|
|
|
Served under resume.shockrah.xyz
|
|
|
|
|
- Frechat Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
Served under freechat.shockrah.xyz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SSH/Ansible Host
|
|
|
|
|
This is the dev box that I use to patch things in the
|
|
|
|
|
VPC. This way we only accept internal SSH connections.
|
|
|
|
|
Rationale: To reduce surface area to the outside werld
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Section 3. Codenames
|
|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Below are the codenames which Terraform code uses in order to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alpha - Docker host
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beta - Static Nginx Server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gamma - Dev/Ansible host
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crete - Primary Subnet used to host stuff
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Section 4. Network Layout
|
|
|
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crete
|
|
|
|
|
Refers to the primary subnet that most services live on.
|
2021-11-25 08:14:03 +00:00
|
|
|
Contains its own internet gateway as services here
|
|
|
|
|
basically require 24/7 internet access.
|
|
|
|
|
> High number of web services
|
2021-11-25 04:22:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subnet 10.0.0.128/25
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alpha
|
|
|
|
|
Public IP: not required
|
|
|
|
|
Internal IP: 10.0.1.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beta
|
|
|
|
|
Public IP: required for public websites
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gamma
|
|
|
|
|
Ephemeral: only up when absolutely required
|
|
|
|
|
Will request Elastic IP when it needs one
|
|
|
|
|
however it will release the IP when not
|
|
|
|
|
required to reduce overall cost of running this system
|
|
|

Section 5. Image's Used for Hosting
|
|
|
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Primary Image Used
|
2021-11-25 08:14:03 +00:00
|
|
|
AMI - Ubuntu Impish 21.10
|
|
|
|
|
Rationale - Basically the latest release by cannonical
|
|
|
|
|
which I'm kinda just trusting they got things right xd

|
Firewall setup
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the firewall setup sits in AWS however they
|
|
|
|
|
should probably be mirrored on each host in case one
|
|
|
|
|
of these layers fails for some reason.
|
|
|
|
|
- TODO: This is going to have be be done via Ansible
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instance Types with rationale
|
|
|
|
|
Alpa - t3.small(Maybe)
|
|
|
|
|
Slightly heavier because it must run multiple
|
|
|
|
|
chatbots and clippable but all are extremely
|
|
|
|
|
lightweight. This might have to be pushed later
|
|
|
|
|
to medium but for now it's fine.
|
|
|
|
|
Beta - t3.micro
|
|
|
|
|
Nginx server
|
|
|
|
|
Gamma - t3.micro
|
|
|
|
|
Ansible host
|
