Looking for advice: which VPS would you recommend for resting a small application? (sqlite+caddy/nginx+php)?

Looking for something cheap, with low resources. I am not piky on the OS, but prefer something lightweight ( #alpine #bsd).

I saw https://deluxhost.net but was not able to grab their cheap offers: looks like they're new, but couldn't find any review.

What would you suggest?

Dear Fedi friends,

Happy Thursday from rainy northern Italy 🌧️

In case you missed it: I've spent the past two weeks doing all kinds of #selfhosting explorations, as I strive to learn #Docker to move my Ghost site there (it's recommended for Ghost v6 and going forward).

Yesterday I shared a blog post about the peaches (highs) and pits (lows) in #MySoCalledSudoLife adventures.

I'm hoping my mistakes can be useful for fellow newbies 😅

⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

Hello Fedi friends,

Please stage an intervention. This is a special “my adventures in self-hosting - 🤡 edition” toot.

So I need to learn #Docker in order to move my #Ghost blog there - possibly - as it’s the only way to let it federate (per the official Ghost.org documentation).

If you’ve followed me here for a while, you might have caught a running joke “please don’t tempt me to get a THIRD #VPS”.

This is my mayday, begging you: “please talk me out of getting a third VPS.”

I was happily doing online research wondering if I could install Docker on my #RaspberryPi5. Sure, it’s possible. Good to know.

Then things escalated when I started wondering: “hmmm how much would it cost to get a new VPS for Docker testing purposes?”

I checked out the website of my current VPS provider and noticed that you could get a basic VPS and pick an application that would come pre-installed. Docker is in the list of applications with a thumbs up next to it. Oh and I have a $20 credit after a commission. Awww the temptation!

I’m currently with my extended family in the middle of nowhere, with no WiFi in the house, one bar of 5G in most places (at best) and a laptop that refuses to connect to my phone’s hotspot. I’m typing this on my iPad (which is cooperating, vis-à-vis tethering). It’s my 12th day in this location, with 4 days to go before I return to civilization. I’m easily tempted because I’m going a little batty.

Please please please tell me that it’s better to learn Docker on my Pi 5. It’ll be waiting for me at home in a few days 😅

Some how I am very envious of the 60MB RAM footprint while booting into a #linode #vps. The best I could get onto my #homelab is 300MB usage on a #Ubuntu cloud image. This is unfortunately the same as my desktop #ArchLinux with #KDE running.

The Ubuntu server image idled at 600MB RAM usage with #docker & #sshd. The culprits using most ram are #snapd & #multipathd.

I just gave up on the VPS and the #pihole

I'm even considering to move away from my #synology#NAS and use a "clean" cloud service. Drive, photos backup, contacts/calendar/tasks (but my mail being on #mailfence, I could already have those 3 on my current subscription).

I would be grateful to hear your suggestions about that live, and about decent service that could help me.

Thanks for the great articles!
