Dear Fedi friends,

I've been a little quiet on this account because I'd been pouring all my energy into setting up a new VPS as a testing ground to learn #Docker.

I need to become proficient in Docker ASAP in order to move my Ghost CLI site there (if I want it to federate).

The past 48 hours have been a real rollercoaster ride, as you could read on my GoToSocial account @elena.

Please beware of #OVH! They terminated my VPS without any notice: https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01K35V57PPWH29969DSTC1117A ‍

Would it be possible to do your initial testing/learning in a VM on your laptop or desktop, then move to a vps later?

I'm doing testing right now of semi-automated disaster recovery/migration in a vm on my laptop, of a web app currently on a vps. If something goes wrong or I want to start over, I just delete the vm and clone a new one that's prepped with the OS and login I want. It's amazingly wonderful compared to the old days before easy vms.
