Things to try
My ideas are coming faster than the time I have to do them, so I’ll make a to-try list:
- Let’s Encrypt for a few domains
- Including for S3 and similar hosted sites if possible
- Notes for AWS CloudFront https effort for existing S3 bucket http site
- Notes for Google Cloud Storage https effort
- Oh, hello. AWS has free certificates now
- For AWS services I’d need to use CloudFront or Elastic Beanstalk
- I know CloudFront is a CDN
- Elastic Beanstalk says it’s orchestration
- Need to see what the differences are, capabilities and cost (and competitors)
- Mildly curious if I could use their free sites for non-AWS-hosted sites
- Apparently not. There does not seem to be an option to view or download the private key.
- For AWS services I’d need to use CloudFront or Elastic Beanstalk
- AWS S3 can’t do https on its own. I think Route53 can make it happen, but without that need a front end server or service
- Including for S3 and similar hosted sites if possible
- OAuth proxy to protect my private sites and create a new webshow control dashboard I can allow e.g. Sean and Jen to authenticate and control
- I’ll have to see if CloudFront or equivalent can do OAuth (but I still want to try my own)
- Google’s and Azure’s alternatives to S3 web hosting
- Especially: Can they do SSL/TLS?
- Try self-hosting more videos on S3 or comparable
- Come to think of it, I should try the hls and mpeg-dash live feeds
- This should be doable, but how much will it cost?
- Will the segments be available quickly enough to live stream this way?
- Presuming will need to keep it in one region, but that’s fine
- Come to think of it, I should try the hls and mpeg-dash live feeds
- See about using Twitch or similar for the webshow in addition to current setup
- See about getting off of WMS for main webshow feed
- nginx? ffmpeg?
- Twitch or YouTube Live?
- Get OBS set up for the show and see if it can take over for Wirecast 4
- Green screen in home office
- Automated CI/CD for website deployment
- Get current sites off of IIS7 and into containers and/or S3 or compatible hosting
- Use AWS Lambda and Google and Azure analogs
- For website uptime monitoring
- For periodic maintenance tasks
- For tripwire-like security checking of S3 bucket contents
- Set up a web log analyzer that can identify and mask me, referer spam and known bots
Roots (repo)- Oh Roots has been superseded by Spike (repo), although Roots’ repo has a lot more stars
- Figure out how to take advantage of HTTP/2
- Ok, so it can push needed assets, but how do I inform the server which assets to push?
- Is it even doable with a static website?
- Or is it smart enough to figure it out from the page markup?
- Ok, so it can push needed assets, but how do I inform the server which assets to push?
- See if the cloud object storage buckets and/or load balancers can redirect URLs when refactoring or migrating sites
- GraphQL
