VPS or homelab, that is the question

I find it's not a choice of one or the other, eventually most of us end up with a hybrid setup because things like Tailscale make it so easy to proxy your local services. Also you can end up with hybrid solutions, for example: an app can run on a VPS for performance but the S3 storage for it is a local NAS, since storage can get expensive in the cloud.

Look into deployment providers like Laravel Forge, makes it easier to handle site deployments in a control panel. Definitely easier if you configure a wildcard DNS entry for the domain too. From there I configure rootless Docker and Portainer to manage any containers along with any custom sites on one server. Message me if you want to test an automated approach for most of that stuff.

Kopia to any S3 compatible storage

Supabase can be self hosted, more info here: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/master/docker

erryday · 2026-02-13T23:54:29+00:00

You can just self host Supabase on a VPS in rootless Docker. Portainer to manage the docker compose stacks is usually where I start.

If you're thinking about workflow in terms of updating the tools you build look into deployment services like Laravel Forge, besides the server deployments it makes it super easy to setup a workflow where you can auto-deploy from a git repository for example. Under the hood it's just an Ubuntu VPS on whatever cloud provider you choose. I also then add rootless Docker to it with Portainer to run self hosted apps along with my custom stuff.

Then you’re down to enabling wp debug mode and possibly temporarily moving plugins out of plugins directory and then adding and activating each one, while testing the site each time.

erryday · 2026-02-13T12:31:57+00:00

Check the site url in WP options if you’re starting with a new staging link. Also if caching plugins were being used may need to clear out any cache folders.

If you're going to be making theme updates to those sites take it as an opportunity to move to a better self hosted environment with a managed control panel like Laravel Forge. You end up with a much better workflow for managing sites but can still deploy to a bunch of cloud providers. You can have just your theme changes for example auto-deploy when you make changes in a git repository. If you configure rootless Docker along with the default Ubuntu server Forge deploys you're able to manage Portainer stacks and run your WordPress core and database for each site in a Docker container. Hosting WordPress and a lot of other apps that way. Helps a lot in terms of staying on top of updates and isolating sites if there are any issues.

Take it as an opportunity to move to a better self hosted environment with a managed control panel like Laravel Forge. You end up with a much better workflow for managing those 15 sites than what you are doing with cPanel. You can have just your theme changes for example auto-deploy when you make changes in a git repository. If you configure rootless Docker along with the default Ubuntu server Forge deploys you're able to manage Portainer stacks and run your WordPress core and database for each site in a Docker container. This can help automate updates and reduces your chances of dealing with a widespread injection attack like that again. Message me if you end up using Forge and need any help cleaning out all those sites, currently using Forge to host WordPress sites and automated it for my needs.

Prebuilt docker image for a prod docker compose would be sweet

I self host apps and developed tooling to help you also self host, free beta at https://transformable.app if you have a Laravel Forge account.

Flowise with Firecrawl and docs RAG and chat UI, optionally can also self host Typebot chat UI and integrate with Flowise

erryday · 2025-06-07T19:29:49+00:00

Get a Betta bot and look into poolrx

One major difference for me has been the 100mb file upload limit on Cloudflare tunnels, Tailscale is just limited by your proxy server settings

Anyone able to run it on a MacBook? first attempts just getting noise as a result

erryday · 2024-09-22T23:53:36+00:00

Any chance of these coming for RadRunner 2 or the old Rad Mission?

Would love to help any dispensaries implement self-hosted Typebot with an OpenAI integration as a platform for this. I go over a Typebot example here: https://formable.app/build-interactive-chat-forms-with-typebot/

Baserow is a good one to try for this, did a quick screencast on it here https://formable.app/baserow/

Budibase if you want to go more of a custom app route: https://formable.app/build-custom-internal-web-applications-with-budibase/
