Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂Hello Fedi friends,Please stage an intervention. This is a special “my adventures in self-hosting - 🤡 edition” toot.So I need to learn <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/docker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Docker</a> in order to move my <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/ghost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ghost</a> blog there - possibly - as it’s the only way to let it federate (per the official Ghost.org documentation).If you’ve followed me here for a while, you might have caught a running joke “please don’t tempt me to get a THIRD <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/vps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VPS</a>”.This is my mayday, begging you: “please talk me out of getting a third VPS.”I was happily doing online research wondering if I could install Docker on my <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/raspberrypi5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi5</a>. Sure, it’s possible. Good to know.Then things escalated when I started wondering: “hmmm how much would it cost to get a new VPS for Docker testing purposes?”I checked out the website of my current VPS provider and noticed that you could get a basic VPS and pick an application that would come pre-installed. Docker is in the list of applications with a thumbs up next to it. Oh and I have a $20 credit after a commission. Awww the temptation!I’m currently with my extended family in the middle of nowhere, with no WiFi in the house, one bar of 5G in most places (at best) and a laptop that refuses to connect to my phone’s hotspot. I’m typing this on my iPad (which is cooperating, vis-à-vis tethering). It’s my 12th day in this location, with 4 days to go before I return to civilization. I’m easily tempted because I’m going a little batty.Please please please tell me that it’s better to learn Docker on my Pi 5. It’ll be waiting for me at home in a few days 😅<a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mysocalledsudolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MySoCalledSudoLife</a>

Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂Update no.2: It turns out, I cannot install <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/varnishcache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VarnishCache</a> on my shared hosting plan because that requires <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/nginx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nginx</a> and my plan doesn't support it... The only option I have - to manually install Varnish - is to move my <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/wordpress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wordpress</a> site from my shared hosting plan to a <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/vps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VPS</a>. I already have 2 VPS's so it would cost me nothing but this takes a bazillion steps and I honestly don't want to do it 😐 I love the Dashboard / ease of use of my shared hosting plan vis-à-vis Wordpress. Plan C is seeing if things are different with BunnyCDN. Plan Z is moving all my blogging efforts to Ghost but I don't want do to that. I'll try anything to protect my Wordpress site against the Mastodon stampede. Edit: for context, I have had this Wordpress site since 2010 (15 years now!) so I don't want to mess with it. cc: <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@cleantext" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@cleantext</a> and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/@ck0" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ck0</a> (who asked about this)
