🚌 Bus factor

[jefftriplett]

I haven't been comfortable with our bus factor for a while, and the recent add/edit form break is a good example of the issue. I'm happy to keep the project management loose, but right now I am the only person who can deploy code. Ideally, this should be controlled within GitHub (maybe releases instead of on merging into main).

We also have admin/maintainers whom I have never met or heard from despite my creating a few group discussions in the past which is probably a sign that we need to clean some of that up too.

Instead of creating a discussion, this now feels more of an issue that I'd like to start resolving over the next month or so.

@jefftriplett perhaps this can be something to work on as part of the contribution sprints at DCUS next month?

[jefftriplett]

@ryancheley I welcome this. I'll work on that only deploys from my laptop issue because I had to VNC home earlier just to deploy it. Not ideal at all.

One workaround here is to update our GitHub Actions to deploy on the release event and update the project. I have everything on Tailscale, so it needs their action to setup tailscale and then tailscale ssh ... possibly to connect to restart services.

Good idea. Tailscale has a good blog post about it https://tailscale.com/blog/2021-05-github-actions-and-tailscale/
