About skybur.io

overview

skybur.io is a custom domain for hosting my portfolio of web & software development projects. The site you see here was built with a customized template offered by the amazing HTML5UP team. My domain is managed through Google Domains and the web hosting is powered by a DigitalOcean droplet running Ubuntu 20.04. On the droplet I have Nginx acting as a server for my portfolio site, the Ambix services, and the MyColl services.

Tools: nginx, pm2, certbot, gunicorn, node, express, ssh
Services: DigitalOcean Droplets, Google Domains
