Интересно, пользуются ли здесь люди сервисами управления серверами, такими как Cloudways, для своих сайтов на Discourse? Не уверен, как правильно называются подобные сервисы, но они помогают управлять облачным сервером на платформах вроде DigitalOcean, AWS, Google Cloud и других. Работа с сервером через командную строку всегда была для меня самой сложной частью при использовании Discourse. Мне кажется, такие сервисы могли бы упростить задачу.
There is a full range of levels on how much managed a server is. I personally don’t like it because it tends to be really expensive and I am confortable working on CLIs (like, it’s literally my job).
Are those services worth it? To me, no. To you, probably yes.
Cloudways seems to be really towards PHP applications so that wouldn’t help a lot with Discourse. So if you’re going to test it I would really review the refund policy or the level of support they are willing to give you.
They don’t because those tools are generally designed to manage PHP (aka LAMP) sites, so they don’t help with Discourse.
I’m working on a tool that will allow you to make changes by pushing changes to an inventory file to github. It’s currently useful mostly if you’re someone who wants to manage and sync plugins between a staging and production site, but my plan is to have an interface that will let you easily kick off rebuilds, plugin addition/removal and other basic configuration chores.
Cool! Let me know when you release it.
