I finished writing the entire backend of GhostiFi with only 863 lines of Python. I’m really pushing to launch by December 9, which will be 1 month since I started development. I’ve been feeling this pressure to keep up with Jon Yongfook [https://twitter.com/yongfook] who is

In my last post, I came up with a plan to fix 2 technical hurdles that I ran into while testing my original solution. In this post, I show how I turned the pseudocode that I wrote in the last post into actual Python. Cloudflare/DNS Fix To solve the

In my last post, I wrote about 2 roadblocks that I ran into while developing GhostiFi — my plan was to have instant DNS propagation when changing VPS IP addresses by using Cloudflare as a proxy, and to use Vultr snapshots as the basis for backing up/restoring/migrating OpenVPN servers.

While testing server.rebuild_now(), I ran into some  high level problems, which kind of disrupted the technical foundation of the entire project. I think I can make some solutions for them, but this is definitely the biggest roadblock that I’ve hit so far with GhostiFi. Up until now,

In this post, I will be sharing how I turned the server.destroy() and server.rebuild_now() pseudocode into actual Python. server.destroy() This function is triggered when a user cancels their subscription. It’s a very simple function, which consists of 5 “mini” functions: _destroy_vps() — Destroys the VPS

As promised in my initial blog post, I am continuing to write about the entire development process of GhostiFi [https://www.indiehackers.com/product/ghostifi], from concept, to sketch, to pseudocode, to actual code. In this post, I will be showing how I turned the threading pseudocode into actual Python.

In this post I am sharing how I’ve integrated a WordPress SaaS subscription [https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/recurring-payments/] frontend with my Python backend for GhostiFi [https://ghostifi.net/], a VPS VPN service that I am building. I query the database from Python once every minute on a cron and

In this post I create the database for GhostiFi’s [https://ghostifi.net/] server table in MySQL, and begin writing server.py by defining SQLAlchemy [https://www.sqlalchemy.org/] classes for Server and Subscription tables. In the end, I was able to do a few queries on them using the
