Vacation at Ciwidey with ELEKTRO

My friends in electrical engineering held a vacation at Ciwidey. I came late to Ciwidey because I had to finish some of my work first. I went to Ciwidey by chartering an angkot with 4 of my other friends who came late too, and arrived there in the morning. We stayed in two villas surrounded by a tea farm. This is the location: -7.141851,107.382675. This place was so pleasant. There are some tourist attractions near where we stayed, such as Danau Situ Patengan, Kawah Putih, and Cimanggu. On the first day, my friends who had arrived early went to Danau Situ Patengan. I regret not coming there.

On the second day, when I arrived in Ciwidey, I immediately enjoyed the morning air and the pleasant atmosphere. After that, I had breakfast and prepared to join a game in a pool.

The Villa

In the afternoon, we went to Cimanggu Tourism near our villa. There is a hot water pool containing some minerals there, but we just went to the woods behind it for jungle tracking. We were accompanied by a guide from Cimanggu.

At the beginning of our walk in the woods, some of my friends got into trouble when we decided to see the hot water spring. They walked on hot sludge and left their slippers on it. One of my friends lost one of his slippers, so we and the guide helped him find his slippers.

After we found his slippers, we continued our trip with a different route. We were going to see the cool water spring at the top of the woods.

At night, we made grilled chicken.

We lit the fireplace before we slept.

Making fried rice for breakfast.

In the afternoon, we had to check out. Before we went back to ITB, we went to Kawah Putih. If we want to go to Kawah Putih, we must pass the road uphill. It's better if you can use your own vehicle, but the price will be high. So we used two cars from the Kawah Putih administrator. On the way to Kawah Putih, suddenly, the car that some of my friends and I rode had trouble. It stopped when passing a ramp road. So, we had to wait for a new car on the way.

At Kawah Putih

What a nice vacation

Deliver SaaS According Twelve-Factor App

If you haven't heard of the twelve-factor app , it gives us a recommendation or a methodology for developing SaaS or web apps structured into twelve items. The recommendation has some connections with microservice architecture and cloud-native environments which become more popular today. We can learn the details on its website . In this post, we will do a quick review of the twelve points. One Codebase Multiple Deployment We should maintain only one codebase for our application even though the application may be deployed into multiple environments like development, staging, and production. Having multiple codebases will lead to any kinds of complicated issues. Explicitly State Dependencies All the dependencies for running our application should be stated in the project itself. Many programming languages have a kind of file that maintains a list of the dependencies like package.json in Node.js. We should also be aware of the dependencies related to the pla...

Rangkaian Sensor Infrared dengan Photo Dioda

Keunggulan photodioda dibandingkan LDR adalah photodioda lebih tidak rentan terhadap noise karena hanya menerima sinar infrared, sedangkan LDR menerima seluruh cahaya yang ada termasuk infrared. Rangkaian yang akan kita gunakan adalah seperti gambar di bawah ini. Pada saat intensitas Infrared yang diterima Photodiode besar maka tahanan Photodiode menjadi kecil, sedangkan jika intensitas Infrared yang diterima Photodiode kecil maka tahanan yang dimiliki photodiode besar. Jika tahanan photodiode kecil maka tegangan V- akan kecil . Misal tahanan photodiode mengecil menjadi 10kOhm. Maka dengan teorema pembagi tegangan: V- = Rrx/(Rrx + R2) x Vcc V- = 10 / (10+10) x Vcc V- = (1/2) x 5 Volt V- = 2.5 Volt Sedangkan jika tahanan photodiode besar maka tegangan V- akan besar (mendekati nilai Vcc). Misal tahanan photodiode menjadi 150kOhm. Maka dengan teorema pembagi tegangan: V- = Rrx/(Rrx + R2) x Vcc V- = 150 / (1...

Configuring Swap Memory on Ubuntu Using Ansible

If we maintain a Linux machine with a low memory capacity while we are required to run an application with high memory consumption, enabling swap memory is an option. Ansible can be utilized as a helper tool to automate the creation of swap memory. A swap file can be allocated in the available storage of the machine. The swap file then can be assigned as a swap memory. Firstly, we should prepare the inventory file. The following snippet is an example, you must provide your own configuration. [server] 192.168.1.2 [server:vars] ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/id_rsa Secondly, we need to prepare the task file that contains not only the tasks but also some variables and connection information. For instance, we set /swapfile as the name of our swap file. We also set the swap memory size to 2GB and the swappiness level to 60. - hosts: server become: true vars: swap_vars: size: 2G swappiness: 60 For simplicity, we only check the...

Deploying a Web Server on UpCloud using Terraform Modules

In my earlier post , I shared an example of deploying UpCloud infrastructure using Terraform from scratch. In this post, I want to share how to deploy the infrastructure using available Terraform modules to speed up the set-up process, especially for common use cases like preparing a web server. For instance, our need is to deploy a website with some conditions as follows. The website can be accessed through HTTPS. If the request is HTTP, it will be redirected to HTTPS. There are 2 domains, web1.yourdomain.com and web2.yourdomain.com . But, users should be redirected to "web2" if they are visiting "web1". There are 4 main modules that we need to set up the environment. Private network. It allows the load balancer to connect with the server and pass the traffic. Server. It is used to host the website. Load balancer. It includes backend and frontend configuration. Dynamic certificate. It is requ...

Why Hashicorp Vault Can Be Important

As I have been working on many software projects and teams, I see that sharing credentials among developers is a common thing. Sometimes, developers store credentials in a file where everyone in the team can access them just to streamline the development process. But, I was also wondering how to maintain the security of the software or data managed while the credentials are accessible to everyone. How can we monitor the usage, make sure that no one in the team uses the credentials differently than they're supposed to be, or renew the credentials with ease? Hashicorp Vault is one of the solutions in the market that can answer that question. There are three main problems that Vault solves. The first is called secret sprawl where the credentials are spread everywhere to many individuals. Then, it becomes difficult when someone leave the team and we have to renew the existing credentials to secure the access. Vault can provide a mechanism to centralize the credentials storage, p...

Manage Kubernetes Cluster using Rancher

Recently, I sought a simpler method to deploy and maintain Kubernetes clusters across various cloud providers. The goal was to use it for development purposes with the ability to manage the infrastructure and costs effortlessly. After exploring several options, I decided to experiment with Rancher. Rancher offers a comprehensive software stack for teams implementing container technology. It tackles both the operational and security hurdles associated with managing numerous Kubernetes clusters. Additionally, it equips DevOps teams with integrated tools essential for managing containerized workloads. Rancher also offers an open-source version, allowing free deployment within one's infrastructure. The Rancher platform can be deployed either as a Docker container or within a Kubernetes cluster utilizing the K3s engine. We can read the documentation on how to install Rancher on K3s using Helm . Rancher itself enables the creation and provisioning of Kubernetes clusters and ...
