Ask HN: What are best practices for deploying an app to a VPS?
I am working on an MVP, which initially ran on Heroku to simplify things. However, I'm realizing I need to move to a provider that gives me control of the the server (likely AWS Lightsail since I'm already familiar).
What is the best practice for deploying applications to a VPS? I have found resources for git hooks, but those seem to focus on static websites. I would love to be able to run "git push prod master" and use git/scripts to automate building and deployment.
Do you have any good resources or recommendations for doing this? You can use Dokku to manage your server in a Heroku-like fashion. (Note, I am the Dokku maintainer) Awesome! I’m going to give that a try! I would say that depends on what technologies and/or web servers you want to use Yeah, I suppose it was a little open ended. I’m using Flask, gunicorn, and looking for tools to keep it simple.
