Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

stream commands to digital ocean

Readme

ocean-stream

Create a temporary digital ocean instance, stream commands to it over ssh, and receive a stream of the output. Automatically destroy the instance on end (if you want to keep it open, don't emit end on the stream).

For this to work, requires that your image either be pre-loaded with your ssh keys, or your ssh key be one of the existing keys in your account (they are all added automatically, unless you specify a list of key ids).

Example

fs.createReadStream('./task.sh')
  .pipe(es.split())
  .pipe(oceanStream({
    key: '<your API key>',
    client: '<your client ID>',
    size: '4GB',
    name: 'task runner',
    username: 'task'
  }))
  .pipe(consoleStream());

Options

  • key your digital ocean api key
  • client your digital ocean client id
  • size the size (in units of memory) of the instance you want (as a string, e.g. '4GB')
  • name the name of the image you want to create this instance from
  • ssh_keys the ssh keys that you want to have automatically added to this instance (an array of either the names, in your digital ocean account of the keys, or their id's as returned by the digital ocean ssh_keys api call)
  • username the username you want to login to the instance with, once its started up (defaults to root).
  • region digital ocean region id
  • privateKey the key you want to use to connect to the instance. Defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa if you don't specify.
