Hey thank you for checking us out! We realized that the install links in the readme were slightly outdated so we worked on refactoring this. Loved the video, a key takeaway I see is docker is great if you want to get started fast, but then the abstraction it provides can also impact how much you could learn by doing it the non docker way! - Laurence CrowdSec Support

Everyone should attempt to do this early on. Docker is nice but it abstracts away a lot of fundamentals. Once you do this you'll understand how to build Dockerfile(s) in a much more efficient way

"docker user discovers installing software normally"

As always, amazing stuff! (The identical intonation in every sentence is killing me though haha)

It amazes me that all this stuff is like rocket science for modern devs.

this is so awesome to see! i love how you edited this video with little things like the underlining, boxing animations, and making it a little more "fun", so my ADHD brain can focus a bit more. I really enjoyed how you tied in the different resources you tried and why or why not you went with them and the improvements section. I know for some, this is just knowledge they already have, but for newer people, this is invaluable! Just want to say thank you Elliott!

I am saving this video as a learning material. I did similar things but not this feature complete. Thanks!

I've been deploying without docker outside work because honestly its just simpler to me and requires less steps. Only bit that really benefits from Docker in my eyes is CI/CD.

Now do it with NixOS!

Remember when we had Tomcat and httpd and deploying a new version just involved pushing a .war file to a mvn repo? We even had these guys called sys-admins or operators who secured and configured the target platform for us... If you were lucky you even had this thing called a DBA who made sure the database was correctly configured and performant. As a backend dev, even logging into the production server used to mean I was having a really, really bad day, now it's just par for the course. Ah well.

I just started offering vps with support for automated builds, vpn, public/private network, monitoring. It was a great learning experience. Learnt a lot about kvm, ebpf, built my own vm scheduler etc. Next thing in mind is to learn more about hypervisors, followed by fpga programming.

You can also manage user-level systemd services with `systemctl --user`. Great video btw!

You didn't really touch on zero downtime deployment... I guess it was implied that having load balancing you can upgrade only one endpoint at a time and catch the failure early on ?

My day-to-day is the basic frontend/backend type workflow; your channel is my escape and hope that I keep chipping away at the layers to it all, and broaden my fundamental knowledge :)

This video is gold. I recommend looking into systemd sockets, timers and so on. There's so much going on and it is amazing. What I like about doing it this way is that you control all the permissions and networking stack, and you can work with the kernel directly

Genuinely a very good test. We haven't done automated releases as of yet. We do use systemd, php-fpm and nginx on our production servers but don't do rolling releases nor CI/CD for now. We're thinking of going to docker route.

Awesome ! I remeber back in the day first strating with FTP, then some rsync and moving on to Docker and K8S but it is soo much better for small side projects to just go bare bones. Also great to show how this works low level. If this becomes a habit for loads of small projects on different VPSs I am sure Ansible would be great aswell to initiate the server. Thanks !

"Adding in a load bearing sleep" hurts my soul. I've written them and it harkens to my own sins.

Maybe this is just me but I find this much easier to follow than the Docker version. I've got a Docker version running my react website with a Go server and honestly I think leaving Docker out might be the better way to go in a lot of ways. Especially having like a 1 minute CI/CD deploy time! That's huge!
