Graphic/Web Designer, System Administrator, Programmer, Community Manager, Texture Artist
I've been doing system administration since as far back as 2014. I first started with Windows Server, and later branched out to Linux within both a VPS and multiple dedicated servers through OVH.
In addition to managing servers remotely, I'm also familiar with installing and managing local servers within my home. In 2022, I purchased a server cabinet and several servers to store within it, as well as a UPS to ensure that brief power outages would keep things running - or gracefully shut everything down if needed.
The Chaotic United Minecraft server has been one of the most substantial server setups I've operated. Initially, it started as a single Craftbukkit server on my home laptop. As time went on, however, it grew into something much more - offering more gamemodes, as well as multiple different MC servers.
Today, CU offers multiple Minecraft servers, spanning multiple OVH dedicated servers with a great deal of system resources each.
Read MoreThe webserver used for Chaotic United and Elaztek has been through a few different iterations. Initially, we used shared webhosting through Host1Plus, before moving to InMotion Hosting. In 2020, however, we moved the webserver off from shared hosting entirely - and instead into local hosting from my home.
Currently, the home setup includes a Proxmox hypervisor that runs both an Nginx VM and a WHM/cPanel VM, an UnRAID file server for backup storage, and an OpnSense router.
Read MoreThe Elaztek Jenkins is used for automatically building both the Blamite Game Engine (including Doxygen docs), as well as deploying updates to the Blamite Guides site. Initially, Blamite was built using a basic project - but was later moved to use Pipelines, as I needed more granular control over the build procedure. Build status notifications are sent to Discord automatically during each build.
The Jenkins instance itself runs under Windows Server 2008 R2, as Blamite currently still targets Windows 7 and above.
Read MoreThe Elaztek Developer Hub acts as a portal for accessing many developer resources for Blamite. It includes links to Doxygen documentation, Blamite Guides, Jenkins, Stratagem (a kanban-style boards system similar to Trello that is self-hosted within the main Elaztek website), and the Elaztek Gitlab installation.
