I'm pretty sure they assumed if you bought their service, you have the competency to properly set it up.
And I proved them wrong.
Ah not to discount devops, I mean that in a good way.
Devops made me lazy in that for the past decade, I focus on just everything inside the code base.
I literally push code into a magic black box that then triggers a rube goldberg of events. Servers get instanced. Configs just get magically set up. It's beautiful. Just years of smart people who make it so easy that I never have to think about it.
Since I can't pay my devops team to come to my house, I get to figure it all out!
I shared it because, out there, there is a junior engineer experiencing severe imposter syndrome. And here I am, someone who has successfully delivered applications with millions of users and advanced to leadership roles within the tech industry, who overlook basic security principles.
We all make mistakes!
Haha I'm pretty sure my little server was just part of the "let's test our dumb script to see if it works. Oh wow it did what a moron!"
Lessons learned.
The latter. It was autogenerated by the VPS hosting service and I didn't think about it.
You're not wrong! Devops made me lazy
Now that you mentioned it, it didn't! I recall even docker Linux setups would yell at me.
I published it to the internet and the next day, I couldn't ssh into the server anymore with my user account and something was off.
Tried root + password, also failed.
Immediately facepalmed because the password was the generic 8 characters and there was no fail2ban to stop guessing.

I didn't know you were supposed to disable root user...

Background: 15 years of experience in software and apparently spoiled because it was already set up correctly.
Been practicing doing my own servers, published a test site and 24 hours later, root was compromised.
Rolled back to the backup before I made it public and now I have a security checklist.

Is there a counter like this but for Fediverse projects?

I was interested in building something like this.
Probably overkill and I agree with you.
K8 is for scale. Like managing a whole fleet of servers. Even with my devops team, it's quite a lift to suggest it to someone who is getting their feet wet.
I did a double take at that $4000 budget as well! Glad I wasn't the only one.
Explain how good trains will help our precious CEOs?
Unless you mean a private train line paid with government funds. Now we're talking!

Lots of comments here saying it feels like work. And yet all the simulator games exist? People literally build rigs on their living room to play Truck Simulator games.
I don't work with rest apis enough and looks great. My only concern is that like everything I do, I end up building a UI and automation. Which might be the point!
