It's up.
ridgwaysystems.org is now running on a Vultr VPS — OpenBSD, relayd for TLS termination, a single Go binary handling everything behind it. No database. No Docker. No framework. Flat Markdown files on disk, templates compiled into the binary at startup, HMAC-signed sessions, and a background goroutine that checks service health every few minutes.
ridgwaysystems.org is now running on a Vultr VPS — FreeBSD, nginx for TLS termination, a single Go binary handling everything behind it. No database. No Docker. No framework. Flat Markdown files on disk, templates compiled into the binary at startup, HMAC-signed sessions, and a background goroutine that checks service health every few minutes.
The stack:
- **Go** — stdlib `net/http` with 1.22 pattern routing. One binary, one deploy, done.
- **OpenBSD** — relayd as the reverse proxy, acme-client for TLS certs, rc.d for service management.
- **FreeBSD** — nginx as the reverse proxy, certbot for TLS certs, rc.d for service management.
- **Flat files** — posts are `.md` files in `content/posts/`. The status page reads from `data/status.json`. Newsletter subscribers live in `data/subscribers.json`.
- **No build step** — CSS is hand-written, no preprocessor. JS is a single file for the admin editor.
