   An amazing service!

   Having been a Ploi customer for a long time now, the service is amazing with the owner responding to new suggestions and implementing them quickly. I can't see myself using an alternative product as Ploi is fantastic and suits my needs incredibly well.

   I wouldn't be able to begin guessing how much time Ploi has saved me, being able to login to the panel and click the big blue "Deploy" button is such a weight off my shoulders. I would highly recommend Ploi as it really improves my quality of life.

• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Better solution than a control panel (Plesk,cPanel) in 2023?

  I can highly recommend https://ploi.io/ - but it's a SaaS solution that connects to your server. Source: 11 months ago

• Host SvelteKit apps with SSR-support via ploi.io (on Hetzner Cloud)

  In order to use SSR mode, one option is to use the awesome server management web service ploi.io. Ploi enables you to deploy SvelteKit apps to european cloud server providers like Hetzner which is good for GDPR-compliance. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• I want to learn Frontend Development, but all the technologies and how they interact with each other are overwhelming and confusing. Where do I start?

  I also like Statamic. I just deployed a site, and I used Ploi, there is still some technical stuff that has to be done, but much less. Source: over 1 year ago

• TinyWallet App ... my first "big" app with Laravel. What do you think? Time wasting project or cool thing?

  You can get up and running fast without much knowledge if you use a service like laravel forge or ploi.io (this one includes a free plan for single server usage). Source: over 1 year ago
