January 2026 Progress

Overview

Built the site service using Axum and Askama to power https://rrv.sh, built as a container image with Nix and deployed using OpenTofu to AWS ECS Fargate. It currently takes https://github.com/rrvsh/site-content and bakes it into the image, parsing the markdown files' frontmatter and displaying them as articles with an index organised by month.

Installed NixOS on nemesis and integrated it into the flake. It currently has my full home-manager configuration, and declares my user password via sops-nix

Cached dependencies in CI for faster run times.
