I'm just going to say one thing: EasyEngine. If you need help managing/setting it up, I can do it for $15 a month + DO cost - or AWS/Google/Azure. I'll manage your stack, depending on time to migrate, there might be like $50-100 for migration. I'm looking to start a WP management service, and hosting company -- mainly to get some MRR during my slow months. I'm currently a Full stack laravel/vue/react freelancer. For reference, I ran a political blog during 2016 w/ 100k hits an hour for a few weeks (traffic died down a ton), but my site wasn't functional at all on shared hosting. After easy engine on DO's lowest tier, everything just worked. Nginx + redis cache is amazing.

I recommended the static approach but if someone is willing to manage it for $15 a month and charge under $100 for migration, I'd go with that. You wont have to learn a new tool or figure out how to migrate.

  Yeah static works good... in fact I'm working on a SaaS app w/ blog built in that will be open source (w/ upgrades), the frontend will have theme-able blog that's built statically via nuxt generate, the backend will be vue SPA - not using Nuxt, since SEO really isn't required. The stack is Laravel for the backend... It's 'SaaS' in that the actual app will have easy subscription plans, analytics, single/teams, etc... I was working on my own SaaS and realized other than some potential code examples from dead github repo's and Laravel's Spark, there isn't much on the market or github -- even in other frameworks like express or rails that covers this niche. Definitely nothing open source, I'm hoping to get some sponsors early on to offset some of the costs of development till I get other streams of revenue... I got off on a tangent lol, but I don't think $15/month + $99 migration is super sustainable...esp if I scale, but it would be nice to have even $1000/month just on autopilot via hosting. Plus you can upsell stuff. I've got a brother who's a stock boy (he's 28, I'm almost 40), who graduated with a Bachelor's in Digital Design, I could probably kick him in the ass w/ some motivation and teach him to manage everything and maybe get him to work in his actual career field for once...He'd work for min wage right now just to get some beef on his resume.

How does EasyEngine compare to dokku-wordpress?
- gremlinsinc 8y ago
  Can't say, haven't used dokku-wordpress. I know EasyEngine recently moved to docker images, which I'm not totally a fan of -- simply because you can only have X number of images per instance, iirc -- and that limits how many sites you could potentially host on a single server.

    Do you mean it uses more memory? or you are hitting the docker limitation per host?

      https://easyengine.io/handbook/v3-to-v4-migration https://easyengine.io/handbook/v3-to-v4-migration "As v4 depends on docker, it is affected by Docker’s limitation of 31 network per machine. v4 creates one network per site. Then v4 also needs few Docker networks for global services. So roughly we limit the number of sites to 27." I'm also wondering what all those docker instances do to performance, seems to me there might be a better way.

  Here's a good overview of different possible scenarios though when choosing a container : http://www.jancarloviray.com/blog/paas-comparison-2017-dokku-flynn-deis-kubernetes-docker-swarm/ http://www.jancarloviray.com/blog/paas-comparison-2017-dokku...
