Rework: Deployment of the website #373

Open TimKardol opened 3 months ago

TimKardol commented 3 months ago

We need to have a discussion about if we are still going to be using Strato as our provider or switch to something else. By my understanding hosting on HZ servers was also a possibility but that comes with different responsibilities.

Possible options:

Lucky-Loek commented 3 months ago

HZ provides free servers with essentially the same functionality as Strato. Including the control panel. I use it to host a couple of websites (including Laravel).

Forge is nice if you really want to get into CI/CD and deploy 10 times a day but it costs quite a lot to make that happen.

TimKardol commented 3 months ago

How would that work with branding, data storage and access to databases? Do we have full control (within certain boundaries)? Can we use our own domain name or is it limited to an HZ one?

I remember when discussing it last year there were some issues, don't remember exactly how or what is was about.

subdomain (xxx.hz.nl) is free. External domain (like you have now) is €89 for 10 years. Hosting itself is free.

You get 50 gigs of storage in as many filesystems or databases as you want. For me the hardest part is to remember that the php executable is called ea-php82 (easy apache php 8.2). Rest is 1:1 the same as Strato hosting

@eliotolhoek was looking into hosting it on HZ servers @v-stamenova .
