↳02 / CONTEXT
The context
Ngumpul Host started as a small project around my home server.
The idea is to have one place where people can see the projects running on the server, learn who is behind them, and request a place to host their own projects.
It is not meant to be a full hosting platform. I wanted to keep the infrastructure simple and make the application more about the people, projects, and things running on the server.
↳03 / WHAT I DID
What I did
/building
Built the app from scratch and figured out how I wanted it to work.
/exploring
Played around with the idea of turning a small home server into a shared project space.
/learning
Used the project to learn more about Go, SvelteKit, PostgreSQL, and running things on Linux.
↳04 / UNDER THE HOOD
Under the hood.
Project-based structure
Projects have their own pages, metadata, members, activity, and hosting information.
Manual deployment
Projects are deployed manually on the server and then registered in Ngumpul Host.
Linux + Docker
The application runs on a Linux server with Docker and Nginx handling deployment and routing.
Lightweight status tracking
The platform keeps a lightweight record of server and project availability.
Separate states
Project state and service availability are treated separately, so a suspended project is not simply treated as an offline one.
↳05 / NOTES
Notes
What changed
The project grew from a simple project list into a place for managing projects, people, and hosting requests.
What I learned
A lot of the interesting parts were about figuring out how different pieces of the system should fit together.
What I'd do differently
Keep the scope small and avoid turning it into a full hosting platform.
