Very idealistic. - Have you ever tried to maintain a PHP project or Django project or any other web project after several years?
Dependencies break, packages are abandoned, or the whole project gets abandoned, then try to maintain the regular updates, patches, fixes. Whole lot of work, until you give up, have yet another database dump in your hand and no interface to work with the data. Of course you can query those tables, get your data out of them, but that's another story.
- owlmirror 6y agoIf it's a private project, like a Personal CRM, you don't have to maintain anything, just run it in a VM or container make access only possible over a SSH tunnel and forget about it.
- submeta 6y agoI‘ve seen VMs running Ubuntu 10.something, with a Jira instance that was never updated. Then these people had both an outdated VM where upgrading to the next Ubuntu Sever LTD version was not a trivial task. And Jira was outdated as well. And I‘m not even talking about the Mysql and other services on that VM.
