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 who is doing Pieter Levels’ “12

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 FixTo solve the problem

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, 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. Python ThreadingI started off by researching

In this post I am sharing how I’ve integrated a WordPress SaaS subscription frontend with my Python backend for GhostiFi, a VPS VPN service that I am building. I query the database from Python once every minute on a cron and then compare the server table and wp_edd_

In this post I create the database for GhostiFi’s server table in MySQL, and begin writing server.py by defining SQLAlchemy classes for Server and Subscription tables. In the end, I was able to do a few queries on them using the ORM! Creating the MySQL DatabaseI used Adminer,
