Despite being a high profile enterprise project manager on huge Oracle cloud payroll projects by day, jzedward is a secret wargame graphics nerd in his spare time. Hosting www.simpubs.org takes a lot of my spare time, as I scan, edit and update classic SPI wargames from the 1970s and 80s with Illustrator and Photoshop. Find out more about my closet librarian activities on my (new) blog at blog.simpubs.org.
Simpubs is a digital archive of classic wargames. We are testing an update to move simpubs onto Nextcloud hosting, and the new test.simpubs.org site has a simple graphical and text front end to the file collection.
Easter Egg alert! The new simpubs site features a hidden extra, Europagrognard. I began collecting GDW Europa scans before I founded simpubs, but had not got around to publishing. The entire collection is now available
Nextcloud is an excellent file storage solution (among other things) and I have used it as a cloud solution for simpubs in the past. Looking for an economic way to share Gb's of files, I decided that Hetzner's hosted Nextcloud storage share is the right answer for around 5EUR/mo for 1tb.
My name is John and I am a Raspberry Pi addict. I (currently) have 6... with the new 8gb Pi5 the latest addition to the fleet. Pi's can now comfortably (numb) run multiple Docker containers, and my Pi4 is my OpenVPN connection to my home network.
grav is a CMS (content management system) that has the flexibility of twig layout control and the simplicity of Markdown-based content. We run several sites on grav as they are so easy to setup and customise on free and low cost hosting.
A truly memorable Origins competition dungeon, reference C1, released in 1980. I ran this at my school D&D club, and I think many players died early... Link to my grav Calibre library will follow. For now there is a link to the Yawning Portal 5e version.
There are many free (and supposedly free) web hosters, but I have been using https://x10hosting.com/ for a while, and it does what it says on the tin. It supports up to 3 domains, and provides full featured php for grav. Recommended
Another free hoster I have been using. InfinityFree appears to throw some php errors on grav admin, and have a more limited range of installable apps, but works well for basic html web sites, and does not limit domains. Worth a try.
As a long standing virtualisation user (or maybe even expert...) I came late to Docker. Despite limitations in update management, I now use Docker for many of my dev environments and web sites. If you don't know Docker, there are many good resources, but my starting point is often an O'Reilly textbook.
