Hosting
Single-purpose virtual servers in the Amsterdam and Frankfurt regions, provisioned from configuration, rebuilt rather than patched.
Small, boring infrastructure
Kanaal Systems is a one-person workshop for self-hosted services: Debian boxes, a bit of automation, and a lot of monitoring. We keep things small enough to fit in a notebook next to the rack.
Monitoring
Uptime checks, disk and certificate expiry watch, and a plain-text runbook for every service that matters.
Tooling
Small shell and Go utilities for backups, log rotation and the unglamorous parts of keeping a machine alive for years.
Notes
- — Certificate rotation without downtime: keeping the old key alive while the new one propagates.
- — Why we still write systemd units by hand.
- — Backups: three copies, two media, one of them tested.
