I can't believe that @github.com has the New Release screen default to "latest release". This seems quite dangerous 🀠

I just accidentally published an open source release by pressing "ENTER" on my number pad instead of "."

THANK GOD it was actually stable code πŸ˜…

Just pushed a cool CI update to serversideup/php πŸ€“

We pull official PHP information from php.net, but that doesn't mean a Docker image is available.

If that's the case, we fall back to the latest available version and show a nice warning πŸ‘Œ

How to Ask for Help You are frustrated and need help. Here is how to get an answer as fast as possible.

Building an open-source community is rewarding. I learn daily and meet new people.

The key of quality growth is how to get help and support.

Here's everything I learned on how to ask for help. Use it for your own community if you want πŸ˜ƒ

How do you organize your software project tasks?

Here's an example how I organized SelfHost Pro for @danpastori.bsky.social while we work asynchronously.

🎨 Figma embeds natively
βœ… Checkboxes for testing all features
πŸŽ₯ Video for complicated parts
πŸ—£οΈ Notion comments for questions

SelfHost Pro is coming along well. I'm excited to showcase how this launch will allow anyone to sell self-hosted applications, regardless of the programming language πŸ₯³

SelfHost Pro progressing well πŸ‘€

For self-hosted app sales, customers get a single-line installer script post-purchase.

They choose any host, copy/paste our one-line script, then we'll handle installing Docker and starting up your app for them πŸš€

We've overthought container orchestration for years. 9 times out of 10, Kubernetes is too complex for your needs.

Containers can be intimidating, but once it clicks, it CLICKS! πŸ’―

What content can I create to help you understand containerized deployments? Where are you stuck?

Thanks PHP community! I never guessed serversideup/php would grow to this volume and power platforms like Laravel Cloud.

When we started, I figured using GitHub for free runners was a good deal πŸ˜†

It's been a pleasure learning from you all ✌️

Now that we have a CMS that lets us publish without friction, give us some topics that you'd like to learn about.

We have so many ideas, we just don't even know where to get started πŸ˜†

We can cover anything:
- Docker
- Laravel
- Nuxt
- JavaScript
- more!

Goodbye WordPress, Hello New CMS | Server Side Up How we migrated from WordPress to Nuxt Content, self-hosted our site, and built a blazing fast platform using our own open source tools.

Now you know why I've been quiet the last few months πŸ˜ƒ

I promise -- it's only the beginning. We finally have a CMS to create content without friction.

Excited to hear your feedback!

This thread is available as a post below for normal humans πŸ€“

Bugflow - Bug Tracking & Visual Feedback Tool Bugflow - Bug Tracking & Visual Feedback Tool

Once we had everything migrated, it was time to test. Bugflow saved the day. We flooded our self-hosted GitLab with feedback for us to address.

After rounds and rounds of QA, this thing started flying together.

Migrating was our biggest worry. Thankfully, we found a super helpful project on getting our content into Markdown.

We still had to make changes to match our new front matter, but with the help of AI it wasn't bad at all.

As you can see, this server is "nuthin' fancy".

Here's all we need:

- 1 core (AMD Ryzen 2700)
- 1 GB RAM 35 mbps upload connection πŸ™ƒ
- Dynamic WAN IP address 🀠

This site is still FAST AF. We have it behind a free CDN with CloudFlare.

You're probably thinking:

"Cool -- you're using JavaScript, but you need to deploy to Vercel."

Nope, we're self hosting the site in my basement with:

- Proxmox
- Ubuntu
- Self-hosted GitLab
- Spin (Docker Swarm)

Zero-downtime deployments with GitLab CI/CD too πŸ€“

Server Side Up - Spin The ultimate open-source solution for managing your server environments from development to production. Simple, lightweight, and fast. Based on Docker.

If you've been following me, you know I strongly believe in this statement:

πŸ’― Always run a 100% replica of production in development

So of course we containerized everything with Spin πŸ˜ƒ

WordPress had it's time, but created too much friction for us today.

We wanted our next CMS to be:

So we settled on @nuxt.com Content πŸ₯³

Anyone ever deploy MinIO with creating a default bucket and credentials that's **NOT** the root user?

I'd like to create a default user and bucket, similar to starting up MySQL/MariaDB if possible.
