# "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.

!!! 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!

|
## 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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== ":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):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== ":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!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== ":octicons-graph-16: Ingress/Egress"
|
|
|
|
These are the traffic stats for egress from Hetzner. They exclude any traffic to/from Hetzner Storageboxes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== ":fontawesome-solid-cow: Longhorn"
|
|
|
|
Longhorn provides RWX volumes for `/config`, and for some infrastructure components like Prometheus, Chartmuseum, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== ":simple-ceph: Ceph"
|
|
|
|
Ceph provides optional storage ("ElfStorage"), typically used for long-term slow storage and seeding:

|
|
|
[^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!
