zai-home-base — revenue projects on djg-oracle-sl

Workspace for projects built to generate revenue. All sites are served by a shared nginx edge DaemonSet in k3s (hostPort 80) reading from sites/.

Layout

• bdj/ — bestdadjokes.lol (dad jokes content site, Track 1)
  • content/jokes.json — the dataset (append-only; joke ids = array index)
  • build.py — stdlib-only static site generator (Python 3.6)
  • static/ — css/js/favicon (jokes-data.js is generated, don't hand-edit)
  • site/ — build output (gitignored)
  • nginx/conf.d/ — per-site nginx vhosts (mounted into edge pod)
  • k8s/nginx-edge.yaml — shared edge DaemonSet (hostNetwork, port 80)
  • deploy.sh — build + atomic swap + reload + verify
• sites/ — live docroots served by the edge pod (generated, gitignored)
• nginx-ingress.yaml (in /home/opc) — leftover demo manifest, unused

Deploy a content change

cd bdj && ./deploy.sh

Server facts

• VM: djg-oracle-sl (Oracle Cloud ARM, 4c/23GB), public IP 144.24.30.131
• k3s single node (control-plane taint — pods need the toleration in k8s/nginx-edge.yaml)
• kubectl: sudo /usr/local/bin/k3s kubectl (no standalone kubeconfig for opc)
• Local test: curl -H 'Host: bestdadjokes.lol' http://127.0.0.1/
• Inbound 80/443 must be open in the OCI VCN security list (cloud console side)
• DNS: user manages Cloudflare; site goes live with proxied A record → 144.24.30.131

Roadmap (bdj)

1. DNS live → submit to Google Search Console (HTML meta verification)
2. Social content (needs user-provided accounts) — daily share-card images
3. Ad integration: user's MCM/AdX stack; ad slots are marked <!-- AD_SLOT_* -->
4. Expand dataset daily; long-tail topic pages ("dad jokes about coffee")
5. Phase 2 (myadhd.dev): ADHD micro-tools + Paddle/Stripe when user ready
