It's so easy to self host these days. I remember when you'd have to fuck around with Apache configs and fuck around with app config files etc. Now you just run docker. It's so great these days!
I'm still fucking with the apache configs (I fucking hate apache...). As someone with no docker experience whatsoever, are there any getting started guides you would recommend for someone looking to make the switch?
Youtube offers a lot of material on what Docker is and how it works.
For ease of use, you can use Portainer, which makes managing docker containers very simple
There's also Yacht, that has some predefined packages that you can install.
Oh, and different libraries, and compiling software to get the features you need, and the pain of moving something from one server to another because there was some unique weird environment setup needed on the host just to get it running.
And these days, just docker the shit out of everything.
Oh, those were the days :D Apache + PHP + MySQL. Then multiple hosted software on that same server. You were screwed when one app needed newer PHP and some other stuff didn't run with new PHP.
haha yeah. Those were the days. Kids these days have it easy. Did I mention "Get off my lawn!"?
