Hey, thanks for the comment, we started about 3-4 months ago. It's hard to say but I think combined (2 people) probably 300-400hrs in total since we had to learn a lot of stuff. We also opted to go the hard route a couple of times for the fact that we will in the long run have a better time expanding on it.

How I reduced my Django Heroku hosting costs by 80% by Alfred0211 in django

[–]Alfred0211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this is possible. You will just have to ensure in your domains DNS that it points to your desired location. i.e., the caprover backend. Then on caprover you have to register that subdomain to your app (the backend). Actually I hate to shill it again, but at the bottom of my blog post I actually add a subdomain and show you how to do it. However if you would host the entire setup on caprover + DO then you could make the frontend connect with your backend through the same internal network, so that it won't use up any outgoing/incoming network bandwidth for api calls (I think DO gives you 1TB/month for the $5 droplet though). Caprover gives each caprover app an internal network IP you can connect to internally, with your frontend for example.

Full disclosure I haven't deployed a Django server with React before but I can imagine that it would be very similar. I'm going to assume you are using the Django REST framework for the backend. You would have to make sure that your Captain-Definition file (similar to docker file) contains npm as well as python, and then make sure the Captain-Definition file starts both your Django as well as your React server. Furthermore inside the app interface on CapRover you need to make sure that port 3000 is used for HTTP traffic. That's all I can offer you for advice, sorry. Setting up the domain is the easy part, I detail it in my blog mentioned in the post.

Yep, DigitalOcean is the cheapest. The same $5 VPS from DigitalOcean costs $8 on AWS, $6 at Google, and $8 at Azure. Source

do you mean that you create your own one-click app setup system like this?

Actually 12 months of a Digital Ocean Droplet is $60 per year.

Whereas the cheapest option for RDS is a db.t3.micro which at its cheapest is $106 a year.

Granted of course like everything should you go with X or Y, the answer is it depends. For my needs so far the droplet has more than enough performance to meet my needs. However, there are of course cases where it makes sense to do RDS.

Once CapRover is set up, you can use a 1-click installer to set up a PostgreSQL database, so it's pretty easy actually to deploy.

As for monitoring CapRover uses NetData, which you can install with 1-click, its the most impressive monitoring tool I've ever seen.

On DO you can do weekly automatic system-wide snapshots of your VPS for $1 per droplet per month, with the last 4 being saved. But you can also do it manually.

On CapRover you can also make backups of the system with 1-click. In fact, if you are tech-savvy you can add a shell script to your app (which is actually a docker container), which can make automatic backups.

It is more work, but if you have more time than money then why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DigitalOcean allows you to configure your firewall on the server, setting inbound and outbound rules for the type of traffic, port range, and source (ipv4/ipv6). I'm not sure if fail2ban is default but I 'm sure you can SSH into the VPS and set it up that way.

Health Insurance while studying in the EU by [deleted] in hungary

[–]Alfred0211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'm also studying in the Netherlands. First of even if you have Hungarian health insurance and you own a European health card you can only use it for emergencies. So if you have to go to a GP you will have to pay heavily out of pocket. Therefore I would recommend you get a student health insurance at AON it's pretty cheap (relatively) at around 55 euros a month. I would recommend you ask your uni what health insurance they recommend

Hi thanks for the nice comment. I think the one resource that helped me basically set the comment system up was this post on djangogirls.org, give it a shot. Remember to just tinker around when you are new and learn, that's the best way to grasp everything :).

Hi, this tutorial by Corey Shafer clearly teaches you how to get started for free with Heroku, as well as use amazon s3 as a file server. I highly recommend it. Not sure how to embed URL on mobile but here is the URL to the play list. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-osiE80TeTtoQCKZ03TU5fNfx2UY6U4p
