+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
+
+Olympus - [not sure where this fits but doc'd for future]
+	(Potential) Secondary subnet used to host (bigger) projects
+
+Section 4. Network Layout
+=========================
+
+
+Crete
+	Refers to the primary subnet that most services live on.
+
+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
+	AMI - Ubuntu 20.04
+	Rationale - It's the current LTS release so sec patches
+	will come in regularly and has good operability with
+	most of the tools I plan on using anyway. Most services
+	which are getting containerized rely on Alpine so
+	as long as Docker is properly updated maintaining
+	posture on this shouldn't be too bad.
+
+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
