ok so here are tutorials from #digitalocean sorted easiest (least things to learn) to hardest (most things to learn). Keep in mind that the more things you learn, well... the more things you learn.
So, I’ve migrated my Mastodon Instance from a #DigitalOcean droplet to a #Hetzner IPv6-only VM.
The result: I'm now paying a third of what I used to pay, while having twice as many vCPUs and twice as much RAM. The whole instance is notably snappier now.
Thanks to @g3rv4 for his write up on how to get Mastodon play ball on IPv6 only:
The new trend among people doing DoS attacks or vulnerability probing seems to be to run their tools from #DigitalOcean servers in America. #security#cloud
If you're going to the trouble of moving your community, why would you move from one centralized service to another? I've given this advice to a number of #reddit subs so far:
Start your own hosted website to post a daily summary of community news.
Move your community to a federated service like #Lemmy or #Kbin.
It depends on what you're willing to pay, and how much work you're willing to do. If you don't mind paying a bit of money ($10-20 a month) then you can get a service like #DigitalOcean or #Linode and use a one-click installer for something like #Grav#Ghost or #Hugo
If you want to pay as little as possible, you can find a cheaper VPS (or even self-host) and install any of the above, but it's definitely more work and will require some technical trial-and-error.
Anyone else having issues with #DigitalOcean. Unable to successfully complete a spin up of a new Droplets from a backup, and getting “Error: No CSRF cookie” when trying to open a support ticket. Status page claims everything is normal. Maybe it’s time I quit for the day.
As folks might know, I #MastoAdmin the #FediverseAU#Mastodon instance, which is a closed (must be approved) instance only for university and research group accounts in Australia / Oceania - because they're typically brand accounts and don't have a natural home in AU.
Yesterday I upgraded the storage for this Mastodon instance, and placed it on a #DigitalOcean#CDN.
If you're interested in this sort of thing, you can see the change plan here - because documentation is both helpful in the moment, and a good reference for others.
I have to do lots of Linux administration these days. And guess what? The best articles about common tasks are made by #DigitalOcean. Many providers have their tutorials, but DigitalOcean ones surpass them all, in my opinion.
From what I’ve experienced so far, the #DigitalOcean App Platform have been the most pleasant experience deploying #Django projects that I’ve come across 🧘🏻 thoughts?
Anyone on #Hetnzer ? How are they nowadays. We’re on #digitalocean for a few servers (FlatTurtle.com) and they are definitely no longer the cheapest (once you upgrade RAM for example) and the performance hasn’t been super great (but that could be more of a feeling than something scientifically proven)
Riding to the @EU_Commission for the 2nd day of the #DigitalOcean forum.
It strikes me that if I lived in #Brussels I would be lobbying VERY hard to have Rue de la Loi leading through the #EU quarter closed to traffic and set aside for cyclists and pedestrians.
This should be an iconic view, imagine trees, bikes and people strolling instead of traffic + air pollution.. #livableCities#cycling
Anyone familiar with installing Mattermost on a Digital Ocean Ubuntu droplet?
It has been giving me issues all day today. For some reason, it won’t pull up via my subdomain even after creating the A record to the droplets IP address. I’ve tried various tutorials.
Unless my ISP somehow authorizes email to be sent from my IP, Gmail will now bounce it.
Unless I am hooked up with an email service that somehow has clout with Google, Gmail will bounce it.
Since the "ISP" through whom I am attempting to send mail is #DigitalOcean, I find item #1 to be dubious. They are not blocking my outgoing mail port, and I have no problems sending to most recipients (Google and Microsoft being the only exceptions I'm aware of).
DigitalOcean seems to encouraging its users to use a 3rd-party service -- but I'm already paying them for hosting, and managing my own email service; I don't want to pay yet another service just for the privilege of being allowed to send messages to Gmail's increasingly walled garden.
@categulario Yo la he estado utilizando desde hace un año más o menos. La verdad, no me ha dado problemas (la app es NodeJS y Redis). Por un droplet pago $32 al mes. Si te vas de #digitalocean, dónde piensas en ir. Hay algo igual o más simple de utilizar?
