Managing servers
Changelog
-
Added an optionalcomposer installto the custom deployment script. -
Instead of hard-coding themainbranch, I now use the{BRANCH}variable in the custom deployment script. -
Changed the wording from “with additional 1,000 email costing $1.00 each” to “with additional emails costing $1.00 per thousand” in the MailerSend section. Thanks to Chris Stafford for pointing out how easily this could be misunderstood 😅.

Cool article, I never heard about Ploi before. 👍
How are updates handled for your Hetzner Cloud server though? Since it’s a VPS, I imagine you’re responsible for security and OS upgrades, right? 🤔
Personally, I’ve been really happy with Uberspace as my hosting provider. I think it’s possible that some of my projects might outgrow their resource limitations, but so far it’s been a joy. 😊

That’s correct. There’s automatic security updates with Ploi and it lets you know about other package updates in the UI. It sounds wrong but because setting up a new server is super easy, you could also simply move the site to a new server with an upgraded OS. If I remember correctly they even recommend that under certain circumstances. So far I haven’t had to deal with that, it’s only been a year or so.

cooler Post, aber hat man am Ende nicht trotzdem die Server-Bauchschmerzen? Also wenn irgendwas kaputt geht, was abstürzt, bei Hetzner ein Switch ausfällt, etc.
-
Bisher noch keinerlei Bauchschmerzen. So lange man nicht selbst am Server rumschraubt, kann eigentlich nichts kaputt gehen. Und wenn doch, setzt man einen neuen auf. So zumindest bisher mein Resümee. Kann die Angst aber absolut verstehen. Deswegen hab ich auch fast ein Jahr gewartet, bevor ich ein neues Projekt mit dem Setup gestartet hab. Kannst ja noch ein paar Jahre warten, vielleicht kommt ein Update in dem ich über das Setup schimpfe 😁

This is very close to what we do for all our sites since about a year. So far, it has been absolutely fantastic. It feels solid, because the entire setup is so easy to recreate in an emergency situation and it makes us independent from a cloud provider. But yeah, a real crash experience is missing here too :)

ja stimmt, ist ein Argument!
-
Hah, did I know about this or end up with the same setup at the same time by accident? I’m confused 😅

interesting article, thanks, and a couple of tools for me to try out.
You might want to change "with additional 1,000 email costing $1.00 each." to "with additional emails costing $1.00 per thousand." - $1 each for email sounds a bit expensive

Thanks a lot for the feedback! You're absolutely right, that sounds wrong. I fixed the wording ✅
