Hi so this is kind of an opinion question. I am setting up some apps on a VPS provider and trying to figure out what is the best way to architect it. My specialization is in dev not ops, so I'm stuck on how to set it up.

Here's my use case:

1. For now it'll be at least 3 #Ghost blogs, I might add other things later, like a Fedi instance or #forgejo, or maybe some other kinds of applications.

2. I am not expecting huge amounts of traffic, but it's good to know one's services are resilient. I think that there's a greater risk of becoming a target of ddos or some other attack from people who hate me, than very popular with readers and users...

3. I'm using a VPS host that charges by fine grained use of resources, so there is basically no cost per server, only the overhead that server generates from running the OS and so on. I've done this in shared hosting with https://nearlyfreespeech.net but https://slicie.com offers VPS. I'm on a 60-day trial so I get to see how that works out.

4. I want to build something resilient, learn cool and useful things, get into aelf-hosting, and mitigate my tendency to over-engineer things...

So, what should I do? I'd appreciate comments and explanations.

Please boost

Ok, I get the idea...

(Also, the host's support team told me that trying to set up a private network would be basically wasting my time)

So what's the best way to run everything in #containers? #Docker+#Nginx Reverse Proxy? Some kind of dark magic with #Kubernetes? Something else?

@alter_kaker sometimes the hosting provider will handle DDOS for you. even if they don't say they will, they often do anyway.

start out with whatever topology you want, you can change it later.

none of those options are going to make a difference if you're DDOSed so don't sweat it.
