Worked around a weird issue with #CapRover deploying using the wrong Docker platform so decided to do a write up

Sean - CapRover Deploying with the Wrong Platform

Just a simple blog.

Just cleaned up a #caprover server I am running for some projects for years and… a recent update changed the „word“ you have to enter to confirm deleting an app… it took me about 20 tries before i saw that change. Literally was about to raise a github issue over it… Dear #devs do not do such pure evil things. #creativecoding

Running #CapRover locally from source, I just saw the new Docker Compose deploy option in the dashboard

It feels inspired by what #Coolify is doing: instead of only single-container apps, you can now spin up multi-service stacks directly. Super handy for real-world apps (db + backend + worker, etc)

And the classic One-Click Apps are still great for creating apps where the admin is asked questions that will generate a set of containers with their params

Just deployed @linuxserver's #webtop with #CapRover in 1 click, **from my phone** to my server

Now I have a full #Linux desktop in my browser. Perfect while my laptop’s at the repair shop for 5 days.

If you're curious, I can share how it holds up in daily use

Anyone have experience with #CapRover? I'm thinking it's a better solution to deploying web apps to my VPS than my current setup, particularly if I set up some git hooks. I would want to run a mail server on it too though, and I'm not sure how it would get on with that...

Plus this is only http://v3.silex.me, but tere is the @puter integration

And soon the self hosting madness with #caprover one click app:

Really digging these new recent updates to https://caprover.com/.

Screenshot of the new project structure which lets me group deployables together (think: a web and background worker deploy for a particular project).

Scalable, Free and Self-hosted PaaS!

My website https://taylormadetech.dev/ is now off of Heroku and self hosted on Hetzner using Caprover

It's such a nice stack, took me 30~ minutes to go from creating a new VPS to having a website up and running

Taylor is an easy to use game engine using mruby as the scripting language. It's aimed at people who love ruby or just want an easy way to make cross platform games.

With a lot of help from @tobide
version 2.15.0 of https://github.com/adamghill/build-docker-and-deploy-to-caprover has now been released.

This release slugifies the Docker image name since some characters are not allowed there. It also provides a way to specify a custom Docker image name.

#CapRover is a #SelfHosted #PaaS. It allows me to not worry about serving lots of low traffic side websites. See https://alldjango.com/articles/serve-multiple-django-sites-from-one-cloud-server for a long article about how I serve ~10 #Django sites from one low-cost VPS.

Learned about @dokku in #craftcms discord while asking about #coolifyio. Also saw #caprover. #php #paas

Guess the cool thing about coolify is that it aims to be an open source indie alternative for Vercel & co: You just connect your GitHub repo and go on from there. 1/
