OC Kbin self-hosters: what hosting platforms are you using?
I want to self host my own kbin instance. But dream host (my current host) doesn't let me do postgresql unless I get a dedicated server (very expensive). And I don't want to put it on my home machine because I want professional hosting.
So what are my other options? And what are you all doing? Are there preferred hosts?
I using hetzner as a VPS provider for hosting my kbin instance. There are probably cheaper hosting companies out there but they works and have never had any problem with them.
So you install your own server (apache or nginx or whatever) and also run your own postgresql from the same unmanaged space? And the server software serves both the php app and the database?
Thanks for answering my questions. I've always used managed hosting but it's becoming too limiting and I'm seeking to expand my options.
Exactly , in my case I'm running everything in different docker containers (they have guide on their installation wiki how to setup kbin with docker , not the best guide right now but is getting better and better). Reason for me is I like to keep my server system more "clean" and also having the server software more isolated from the host machine. Also I work with that kind of stuff so I'm used to working with containers.
