Self-hosted workflow automation: How to self-host n8n on Convox
n8n is a powerful workflow automation tool that every business can use to work more efficiently. However, self-hosting this solution in an efficient infrastructure platform like Convox is the only way to explore the full potential of n8n’s capabilities. With this tutorial, you should have a step-by-step practical guide showing you how to do this.

DevOps Automation: Lessons from a PaaS Migration Case Study
This case study lifts the hood on one such development team that has had to adapt its PaaS choices with time. We will discuss the teams’ journey towards automating its infrastructure and deployment process through a series of migrations - from Digital Ocean to Heroku, to Convox. This rare insider’s perspective mirrors the processes, problems and solutions faced by similar teams along the journey, drawing lessons and teachable moments for software development team managers.

Datadog Reveals Hidden AWS Performance Problems
At Lob, we currently use Convox as our deployment platform, a “roll your own Platform-as-a-Service” that you can install to handle container orchestration on AWS’s ECS (Elastic Container Service). Convox is showing its age and this year we began the process of replacing Convox with HashiCorp’s Nomad, a flexible workload orchestrator to deploy and manage our containers on AWS.

Launch HN: Porter (YC S20) – Open-source Heroku in your own cloud
On the one hand, I don't want to post a shallow dismissal on your big launch day. On the other hand, this does look like something that's been tried a dozen times before. To name one example, Convox (https://convox.com/) started out using ECS on AWS, but more recently switched to being a multi-cloud platform on top of Kubernetes. Cloud66 has also tried a few things in this space. What sets Porter apart from other products in this apparently crowded field?

RIP Flynn.io
Yes, I'm a huge fan of Convox [1]. One thing that don't make very clear is that the "Convox Pro" hosted console is optional, and convox/rack [2] is completely free and open source.
I'm sad to see that Convox still isn't getting the recognition it deserves, because it really is like having Heroku in your own AWS account.

Serverless Horrors
The creator of the blog is Andres who is also building coolify[0], a heroku/netflify self-hosted alternative. I wanted to give a shoutout to him and his product. I've been running it for a few months and love it. Really was has been kinda the secret sauce of ease of use for me to start self-hosting things like changedetector, jdownloader, vaultwarden, etc.
It also has a pretty nicely growing community where people are contributing new templates (I added one for Syncthing) and helping each other debug.
The only issue I've had with it is things kinda fall over if you run out of disk space, which happened when I was running on an instance with just 10GB storage. So a little better alerting or prevention around that would be great but otherwise it has been pretty solid.
> VPSs being “easy to manage” is a strong option full of assumptions.
There are definitely many footguns with managing a VPS but I think the threshold to get vaguely competent with a VPS is not really that far off with getting familiar with the average cloud platform - which comes with its own dangers, like the near-total inability to put an upward cap on fees that that person found out with Netlify recently.
Having a $5 VPS and knowing it's never going to cost your more than $5 might balance out a lot of things on the other side for a lot of people.
(And, as a bonus, it comes with the benefit of having a better idea of what is going on on the actual computer which is running your code.)
Platforms like https://coolify.io/ (which I have not tried, but looks interesting) seem to give you some of the abstractions that you get in cloud platforms to save you having to mess with too much low level stuff and become an expert in a billion separate systems.
If you have Debian with automatic updates that does most of the heavy lifting for you. The hardest problem I have is resisting the temptation to just install everything, because the cost to do it is capped at my VPS monthly fee.
So yep, it comes with a lot of assumptions. But so does everything!

Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site
https://coolify.io/ might be worth a look
Hetzner or DigitalOcean with Coolify [0] works great, it's like an open source Heroku that runs on any host, you get git push to deploy, and a bunch of other features built in. It only works on one machine at a time though so it's not like a CDN but for small sites, it's great.
