How to debug GitHub actions. Real-world example
The go-to method of debugging GitHub Actions is tmate. With tmate we can connect to our running Action terminal and see what is going on there by executing some simple commands!

GitHub Actions Are a Problem
In addition to the suggestions others have made for locally testing workflows, there are also reverse shell actions[0] that can be used for troubleshooting CI failures on the GH runners themselves.

GitHub Actions could be so much better
Been through that git commit; git push; repeat cycle too much as well until i discovered https://github.com/mxschmitt/action-tmate which gives a shell in between steps, which does not help with all problems but sure it's makes it less painful at times.
- How do you debug CI/CD pipelines? Breakpoints?

How easy is it to troubleshoot GHA workflows?
In addition to everything here, I also will set up https://github.com/mxschmitt/action-tmate when I’m debugging. It helps tremendously since you can temporarily access the server.

Act: Run your GitHub Actions locally
Unfortunately act is only capable of running very simple workflows. I've found this action to be more useful against the endless PR stream: https://github.com/mxschmitt/action-tmate
You drop it in your workflow and get an SSH shell into the worker, figure things out iteratively, then push when it's working.

Hosting old Node Projects 👴🏼
If you want to dig into it anyways, Dokku is an interesting mention. They provide an Open Source PaaS that you can install on your server to simplify self hosting containers.

Deploy Node.js applications on a VPS using Coolify
When I came across Coolify, I thought of giving it a try. I am aware of Dokku, but I never really tried it because it doesn't have a UI. I work primarily as a UI developer, so having a nice UI to work with is a plus for me.

The Hater's Guide to Kubernetes
I run all my projects on Dokku. It’s a sweet spot for me between a barebones VPS with Docker Compose and something a lot more complicated like k8s. Dokku comes with a bunch of solid plugins for databases that handle backups and such. Zero downtime deploys, TLS cert management, reverse proxies, all out of the box. It’s simple enough to understand in a weekend and has been quietly maintained for many years. The only downside is it’s meant mostly for single server deployments, but I’ve never needed another server so far.

Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site
Yeah there are a bunch of selfhostable things:
Caprover (https://caprover.com/)
Dokku (https://github.com/dokku/dokku)
But people still choose Netlify and Vercel for ease of use I think.
Maybe we need something that's just Netlify. The closest I've seen to the "right" UX is Ness:

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
The modern iteration of these tools has taken the developer experience learnings from the Platform as a Service (PaaS) category, and will bring them to your own VM, giving you your own personal PaaS. Example of this include Dokku, Coolify, Caprover, Cloud66 and many more!
- Ask HN: Is there an open source alternative to Digitalocean app platform?
-
Ask HN: How are you hosting multiple small apps?
Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:
1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku
2) https://render.com
3) https://fly.io
4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk
above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.

The Best Way to Deploy Your Own Apps
All in all, I really recommend trying out Dokku if you are a developer interested in hosting your own projects. It makes it super easy to get everything you need to get up and running without having to worry about the specifics. And the price is impossible to beat!
