So you install your own server (apache or nginx or whatever) and also run your own postgresql from the same unmanaged space? And the server software serves both the php app and the database?

Thanks for answering my questions. I’ve always used managed hosting but it’s becoming too limiting and I’m seeking to expand my options.

Do you use unmanaged hosting?

So you’re running kbin.pithyphrase.net from your home pc?

Only a brand would think in terms of favorite brands.

Why would it be an n-turn? The n shape suggests you back up before turning. The capital U asserts that you simply turn. That’s how I’ve always done it.

Man this defediverse stuff gets tiring

So are they going to hire people to mod all those subs?

I second this. I love the openness of the fediverse but I want robust tools to help me navigate it, including the ability to block.

Okay. I keep reading about docker. What’s the difference between a docker and just installing an app on rented server space?

Does each dock (?) have its own server? (Apache or nginx or whatever?)

Does each dock host a whole site, or do you have a dock for your database and a dock for your web app?

I use Podcast Addict on Android (both phone and tablet) and it’s excellent. I’m using the paid version so it’s ad-free. It has a good set of widgets too. Five stars.

I used to use Podkicker Pro, but the paid version started showing ads. So I switched to Podcast Addict Pro and it’s excellent.
