# "Elf-Disclosure" for June 2023
It's been a month since [ElfHosted][elfhosted] was born! :baby:
I've worked way **more** than I expected, and the work has been **harder** than I expected, but I've immensely enjoyed the challenge of building something **fast** and **in public**.
What follows here are our recent changes, the current stats - time/money spent, revenue (haha), and lots of data / graphs re the current state of the platform.
<!-- more -->
--8<-- "what-is-elfhosted.md"
!!! warning "This post may not format nicely via RSS"
To make the amount of data presented below easier to parse, I've used mkdocs-material content tables to format / display data. This will probably not look good in a feed reader, so if what follows looks like a huge mess, view it in your browser instead!
## What's new/next?
=== ":material-calendar: June 2023"
Here's what we achieved in June 2023 (*not an exhaustive list, there's only so much space!*):
* [x] [Prod website][elfhosted] based on (*you guessed it!*) mkdocs-material (*look familiar?*)
* [x] HA, fault-tolerant K3s Kubernetes cluster (*3 servers, 3 agents, 3 ceph nodes*)
* [x] Dedicated CI environment for pre-testing infrastructure changes
* [x] BYO storage / VPN fully self-service when purchasing via the [store][elfhosted/store]
* [x] All previously supported Seedplicity [apps][elfhosted/apps] available [^5]
* [x] CLI tool (*[ElfBot][elfhosted/elfbot]*) for self-service app restarts, backups, resets
=== ":dart: July 2023"
Here's what's on the short-list for prioritization next:
* [ ] Bring BYOVPN config to Deluge and ruTorrent
* [ ] Add new apps to support Premiumize
* [ ] Migrate to prod store, make bundles easier to manage
* [ ] Regular daily maintenance period for app updates / maintenance
* [ ] Load test with more users!
## Stats
Here's our stats, updated for June 2023:
=== ":moneybag: Spent"
:material-target: Focus | :material-calendar: June 2023
---------|----------
:material-cow: Cluster | $428
:material-cart: Store | $632 [^1]
:material-test-tube: CI | $208
:material-cloud-cog: Cloud | $30
:material-clock: Development | 146h / $21,900 [^2]
=== ":nerd: Tech stats"
:material-target: Focus | :material-calendar: June 2023
---------|----------
:fontawesome-regular-circle-user: Users | 14
:octicons-sign-in-16: Ingress | 24TB
:octicons-sign-out-16: Egress | 1TB [^4]
:material-dolphin: Pods | 478
=== ":bar_chart: Summary"
:material-target: Focus | :material-calendar: June 2023
---------|----------
:material-trending-down: Total invested thus far | $23,200 [^6]
:material-trending-up: Revenue | $0
## Resources
=== ":material-cpu-64-bit: CPU"
Most apps consume almost no CPU while idle - the larger consumers are streamers doing transcoding, and download clients doing download/unpack operations:
![CPU stats for June 2023](/images/blog/elf-cpu-stats-june-2023.png)
=== ":material-memory: RAM"
This graph represents memory usage across the entire cluster. By far the largest consumers of RAM are the storage platforms (longhorn and ceph):
![Memory stats for June 2023](/images/blog/elf-memory-stats-june-2023.png)
=== ":material-server-network: Network"
I'm not sure these stats are accurate, they've likely overly high because pods on the host network (like metallb, ceph, etc) will end up counting **all** traffic on each host, rather than the pod itself. This is an outstanding issue to fix!
![Memory stats for June 2023](/images/blog/elf-network-stats-june-2023.png)
=== ":octicons-graph-16: Ingress/Egress"
These are the traffic stats for egress from Hetzner. They exclude any traffic to/from Hetzner Storageboxes:
![Traffic stats for June 2023](/images/blog/elf-traffic-stats-june-2023.png)
=== ":fontawesome-solid-cow: Longhorn"
Longhorn provides RWX volumes for `/config`, and for some infrastructure components like Prometheus, Chartmuseum, etc.
![Longhorn stats for June 2023](/images/blog/elf-longhorn-stats-june-2023.png)
=== ":simple-ceph: Ceph"
Ceph provides optional storage ("ElfStorage"), typically used for long-term slow storage and seeding:

## Join us!
!!! tip "Want to get involved?"
Want to get involved? Join us in [Discord][elfhosted/discord] and come and test-in-production!
[^1]: Much of this is yearly fees for Wordpress plugins
[^2]: Yes, that's a **lot**! This is the opportunity cost, over a month, of focusing on ElfHosted rather than billable consulting work!
[^3]: Total spend includes yearly payments for Wordpress plugins, etc
[^4]: Low egress is good, because ingress is always free, but Hetzner charges for egress after 20TB!
[^5]: Except Minio, which we're not bringing back!
[^6]: All moneyz are in US dollarz!
