For $10 a month, I get to put unlimited databases and node js apps with high performance and a fast connection. This works great for me, someone who has very little userbase for any of my apps and I just want to host them to show to people and get feedback. I want to try to configure my environment to make it easy for me to manage all my apps, proxies and https certificates.</p> <p>My typical flow for deploying an app goes like this:</p> <ul> <li>Git clone the app into my main directory (~/apps). For example, my-example-app.</li> <li>Configure the environment specific variables in .env files.</li> <li>Run <code>./p.sh</code> to run the production environment, which launches a docker database along with my app after doing other things, like building my client.</li> <li>Once I verify my app works, I have to create an nginx file. I make one in my sites-available and replace all the boilerplate instances of domains with the new domain I want to use, and symbolic link it in sites-enabled. I then restart nginx and verify that works.</li> <li>Now I create a new letsencrypt certificate, pointing at the domain, and take a few minutes going through that.</li> </ul> <p>Overall, adding and managing new apps is a pain, and I don't have any kind of CI or CD going on yet. Recently, I used the Netlify static site hosting to see how that was, and I was blown away with how easy managing it was. I linked my git repo with Netlify, set custom build commands for the frontend, and I was provided a temporary subdomain like 12930js09d1290f.netlify.com . I aliased one of my domains to that, which allowed me to one-click https for my new sites. Within minutes, the site was up with https and my custom domain, all being rebuilt automatically whenever I pushed to a specified branch on github!</p> <p>I want to try to replicate as much of this as possible, self-hosted. I'm wondering what kind of options there are for management of this kind of thing through a web panel. Am I looking for "continuous integration" software or something else?</p> docker ci devops help caubeen Thu, 19 Jul 2018 18:09:46 +0000 https://dev.to/caubeen/explain-rxjs-like-im-five-1042 https://dev.to/caubeen/explain-rxjs-like-im-five-1042 explainlikeimfive javascript
