About this site

This site was created in December, 2014 to give some visibility on my work, and to be an experimental and dog-fooding platform for web developments.

What is it running?

The site is powered by Umbraco.

As of June 2026 and since December 2023 it runs on stock Umbraco 13.

I do have plans to upgrade to 18, especially if the Postgres support effort gains traction.

It is hosted on a PRO-XXS Scaleway virtual instance in the Paris-2 datacenter. The instance runs a bare Debian Trixie + Docker, and every service (this site, a private Git repository, the MSSQL DB...) run as a Docker container. Deployment is performed with Docker Compose.

It used to be hosted on a t3.large Amazon AWS EC2 instance in the EU-West zone (Ireland). Considering what's becoming of the US... I am slowly bringing my infrastructure to the EU.

There used to be variations of the site running on Beyumbe, a derivative of Umbraco that ran on .NET Core long before Umbraco did. That utopian project was fun, but short-lived, as I have moved to other projects.
