As much as I enjoy the benefits of running my own server, I really don't like running my own server. #indieweb

@aaronpk Clearly you need UBOS :-) ubos.net/ #indieweb

@Johannes_Ernst Interesting. Can I run it on a Linode or on AWS? Can I tweak Nginx settings if I need to? #indieweb

@aaronpk Using Apache not Nginx, but you can modify settings on a per-app basis

@Johannes_Ernst oh darn, I started moving everything over to nginx a while ago, not keen on switching back to Apache.

@aaronpk The trick to automation is to reduce the number of variables, e.g. pick one web server. Apache has broader software support still.

@Johannes_Ernst see this is why I'm still running my own servers :-(

@aaronpk Everybody makes different tradeoffs. I know I would go insane if I had to manually update just the servers in my home

@Johannes_Ernst Yeah it drives me nuts too. I still have a server running I've been trying to decommission for 3 years.

@aaronpk and that doesn't count the outside ones :-) Which web server is used is the least of my worries.
