🚀 2026 My Cloud Hub Roadmap

📈 Phase 1: Observability & Monitoring

Goal: Move from "reactive" to "proactive" management.

• Linode Instance Monitoring: Implement UptimeRobot or a lightweight 'Statping' container to monitor home.davisdre.com availability.
• Container Health: Explore 'Glances' or 'Dozzle' for real-time log streaming and container resource tracking without the overhead of a full Prometheus/Grafana stack.

🤖 Phase 2: CI/CD & Automation

Goal: Fully automate the "Update Dash" and backup workflows.

• Gitea Actions: Set up a local Gitea Runner.
• Workflow Integration: Replace the manual updatedash script with an Action that triggers a Docker build and deploy automatically upon every git push to the dashboard repo.

📧 Phase 3: Application Optimization

Goal: Enhance functionality for Surmai and communication.

• SMTP Integration: Configure Surmai to use an SMTP relay (like SendGrid or a private mail server) for travel itinerary notifications and password resets.
• Surmai Refinement: Finalize travel data migration from legacy Synology notes into the new Surmai Postgres/SQLite environment.

🔐 Phase 4: Identity & Access Management (SSO)

Goal: Unified login experience across the stack (Azure Admin style).

• SSO Implementation: Research and deploy an OIDC/SAML provider (like Authentik or Authelia).
• Universal Login: Enable Single Sign-On for Gitea, Surmai, and Memos to eliminate the need for individual app passwords and enhance security via Cloudflare Access.
