I am redesigning how I blog and create content with https://lakyai.com

I am also writing an "indie book" on getting to $100k revenue (and I write it inside LakyAI, no less!).

Yes, the distribution is super hard. I recently changed how I blog and building entire platform around that called LakyAI (https://lakyai.com). The idea is being able to run multiple blogs in parallel with crosslinking, sharing resources, reposting to platforms that give you distribution, repurposing the blogs entirely, and more. I am at the beginning but if someone is interested in some novel ideas just drop me an email at hello@lakyai.com.

I think this is pretty cool. Congrats on the project, might play with it later.

If you want something even simpler, something that doesn't run on your servers at all, you can look at Kamal: https://kamal-deploy.org

What I like about Kamal is that it's backed by a company that actually fully moved out of K8s and cloud, so every release is battle-tested first.

I just finished an update for Kamal Handbook (2.1).

I am also working on a new way to blog with LakyAI (https://lakyai.com). Not super ready but send me a DM if curious.

I am working on LakyAI, https://lakyai.com, marketing platform to build brands. It's a mix of WordPress and Buffer in a way. Great for people that want to blog but also get some distribution and social media help. If you want to try it, please DM me at x.com/strzibnyj

I know well what you are talking about since I did something similar, but I finally moved to Docker with Kamal (except one project I still have to move). The advantage of Docker's reproducibility is to have a peace of mind when comes to rollbacks and running exact versions due to system dependencies. If anyone is curious I wrote Kamal Handbook to help people adopt Kamal which I think brings all the niceness to Docker deployment so it's not annoying.

Yes, please. I mostly run a VM per project but will consolidate some stuff now that Kamal 2 supports it. I also posted before how this works here: https://nts.strzibny.name/multiple-apps-single-server-kamal-...

I use Kamal (even wrote Kamal Handbook) but I did register Dokploy, I should try it and document the differences.

Awesome, thanks for all the good work on Ruby!

If you deploy with Kamal you practically get this, except maybe the file push, that's a nice touch.
