It's election year in Croatia and we have the privilege of reading promises from various relevant and not-so-relevant political parties. It's the usual mix of lower taxes, less corruption, more transparency, higher retirement pensions, etc. One, in particular, caught my attention: We are creating a web booking platform for private accommodations with a 5% fee.

Last year we switched from trusted Rails to Nuxt.js for our landing pages. Because I am very busy (mostly drinking) I had the most brilliant 'budget' setup on our EC2 instance. I manually installed Nginx, pm2, git and Node. I also did Let's Encrypt bullshit dance that I feel too shaken to talk about. I'll pretent that it just worked and that they did not make arbitraty changes that would break update calls and then block me for a week for 'thottling' reasons because I neglected to read their update info from that morning...

When working on bigger systems, it helps having your database model visualized. There are many great solutions but a few of them are free. If you fit in the 'small enough' not to use [ER/Studio Data Architect](https://www.idera.com/er-studio-data-architect-software) (the best tool IMHO) but big enough to want to see data visualized-category, then read on.

When faced with real life complexity there rarely is an easy way out or a silver bullet solution. Here I will describe the model I've come up with during years of trial and error.

Quite recently I had the chance of implementing a log-in/authentication system for one of our mobile applications. Resources available for both the Android and iOS eco-systems are fairly exhaustive but comparisons of the pros and cons of each and every one are not readily available, at least not of the type I would like.

In this post I'll try and describe how to set up SSL for your Rails app. This solution is free and will automatically extend the certificate once the certificate runs its course.
