OMG! 🤯 Compared to the old server, this new one is amazingly simple to work with.
The old server ended up being a docker image on my Ubuntu laptop. Services refused to start up properly, so I had to write some scripts on the docker image, to get everything up and running. But, docker wasn’t cooperating, either. I had to write more scripts, to monitor the docker image, restarting it whenever it just randomly stopped, and to call the scripts inside the docker image, from the script running this. 😡
The new server? It’s running on dedicated hardware, and just needs to boot up to serve the website. It hasn’t even randomly stopped! ❤️
