Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>Good morning Fedi friends!</p><p>After my self-hosting woes (I had to delete my ready-to-go Ghost blog on my site because it was on Debian/mariaDB... after 3 weeks of work on it, then failed to properly install Ghost with command lines on Ubuntu) I am ready to dive into my new VPS again. Turns out, after 48 hours you forget about the frustrations you felt.</p><p>It's a new day 🌞</p><p>A couple of things to report: within 5 minutes of publishing my previous toot (see above), I got TWO offers to help me analyze/fix what went wrong with my Ghost installation over a call. By two people I really admire on here. This is the BEST, most generous community ❤️</p><p>Now, because of time zone differences and scheduling issues I have yet to have that phone call. But this morning when I woke up I poked around my VPS dashboard and saw that I can do the following things:</p><ol><li><p>wipe the contents of my Ubuntu VPS (the one with the botched Ghost installation) and re-install any OS I'd like... at the touch of a button.</p></li><li><p>re-install on the VPS an OS with a panel, like <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/coolify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coolify</span></a> or <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/dokploy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dokploy</span></a> or several others.</p></li></ol><p>Since I'm a Linux newbie who got really frustrated looking around my botched Ghost installation the first time around I would like to manage my system with an interface that simplifies my job.</p><p>So my question is: what's your opinion of Coolify? Yay or nay?</p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mysocalledsudolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MySoCalledSudoLife</span></a> <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>
