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

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 π
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 π

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.

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 π₯³
SelfHost Pro progressing well π
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 π
Love it!
Keep an eye on this for multi-tenancy π

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 π
It's been a pleasure learning from you all βοΈ
Thanks for the feedback! Iβll definitely keep expanding articles in the serversideup/php docs π

We have so many ideas, we just don't even know where to get started π
We can cover anything:
- Docker
- Laravel
- Nuxt
- JavaScript
- more!

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

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.
(More big news on Bugflow soon π)

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 π
- Dynamic WAN IP address π€
This site is still FAST AF. We have it behind a free CDN with CloudFlare.
Self hosted server in my basement running Proxmox
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 π€
If you've been following me, you know I strongly believe in this statement:
π― Always run a 100% replica of production in development
So of course we containerized everything with Spin π
(More news on Spin + Nuxt coming? π)

WordPress had it's time, but created too much friction for us today.
We wanted our next CMS to be:
β€οΈFree and open source
β‘οΈFast and flexible
πͺAble to be self-hosted
π€©Provide a great developer experience
So we settled on @nuxt.com Content π₯³
content.nuxt.com
Huge update: @danpastori.bsky.social and I are going full-time on Server Side Up!
To celebrate, we threw a new coat of paint on and dumped WordPress π₯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.
