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:

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.

Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform
As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.
