- Processes locally a batch of files with the allowed extensions (png, jpg, webp) from /input (for loop, pillow) and outputs files into /output
- Wrapped program with a Docker container to allow portability
- Code published on GitHub
- Container image is on Docker Hub
- Python 3.11, Pillow 9.0, Docker 23
- Using Minecraft as a pilot digital initiative to gamify Singapore Night Festival
- Recreate Armenian Street in a virtual (Minecraft) world
- Players sign up for a Heritage ID account to play the Minecraft game
- Worked with coding school to design and create the game world, collaborated with internal stakeholder on the art content
- Players receive a festival exclusive keychain for participation
- Coded Android app (with Flutter) to QR Code scan Heritage ID to track gift redemption
- Led and managed the project end-to-end
- Turnaround time for project from conceptualization to go-live about 3 months
- Simple website with guest check-in system
- Created in about 2 weeks with Python
- Managed and oversaw the development of a corporate mobile app for product traceability and service installation
- Learned Flutter v1.17 on YouTube and built my own inspired version instead. Has no reference to the corporate mobile app (which was built on React Native, which is different from my Dart codebase)
- Coded the front-end only. With some code changes, this should connect fairly easily to a NoSQL DB e.g. Firebase
- Caddy is a lightweight open source web server with automatic HTTPS written in Go.
- After years of using Apache (which was good until nginx came) and nginx (which was really good but setting up advanced configuration required quite a bit of learning curve and made the config file messy), I found Caddy. I thought that it is just as good as nginx but better with simpler config and it even sets up and renew LetsEncrypt SSL automatically
- At time of writing, although Caddy was beginning to gain momentum in support for Docker containerization, it understandably didn't natively support popular integrations like Cloudflare
- Telemetry was also enabled by default in an unofficial yet widely supported Docker image (abiosoft/caddy), which I wanted to turn off
- To make my webserver setup easier, I used their builder to add reauth (authentication) and cloudflare (DNS provider) plugins and disabled telemetry.
- The Docker container can be pulled here
- Add another VPS instance. 1 for web server, another for hobby/Docker 19.03 fun
- Mount additional storage volume to VPS #2
- Create swapfile for more memory on non-critical applications (because I am too stingy to pay money to add RAM)
- All web services are HTTPS with LetsEncrypt and renewed automatically. DNS is proxied through Cloudflare
- Services which do not need exposure to internet are served within Docker network i.e. only 1 port (HTTP) is exposed, the rest are reverse proxied with Caddy
- Created personal profile on vtsuki.net
- Created a bat file to simplify management of Windows Firewall for blocking ports and whitelisting IPv4 addresses for PC game Grand Theft Auto V
- Features such as CEO missions and Biker businesses can only be played in an online session with other players. This can be disruptive especially when there are cheaters (modders) in the game and you want to play your game in peace
- There is no modification to the underlying game and in fact just stops certain outbound traffic that the game uses to connect to other online sessions and allows specific IPv4 addresses (such as your friend's) to connect to your "private" online session
