gollark: It was actually on caddy for quite a while, but v2 annoyed me, so I went back to nginx.
gollark: I have about 500 lines of horribly entangled configuration files driving this, despite the original design of osmarks.net (formerly osmarks.tk) calling for it to mostly be a static website.
gollark: Now, the diagram says "nginx". Nginx is also an important part of this setup. It is a reverse proxy allowing me to run all this slightly crazy stuff on one IP, and encrypt with "HTTPS" apiotechnology.
gollark: It also got a HTTP endpoint, available at https://radio.osmarks.net/random-stuff/current-song, which dumps the status etc. information in JSON for the frontend to read.
gollark: So this gained a loop polling MPD - remember, it has a client-server model, so other stuff can communicate with it. Use of MPD turned out to be a good design decision!
