There's a community run by levels.io which does something like this

We have hosted on everything on a tiny Hetzner. The site barely has any users apart from our friends:) :(

Info noted

Managed DB costs a lot.

Is there a simple safe setup that we can run on an Ubuntu server?

We self-host the Postgres db with frequent backups to s3 but just in case the site takes off, we need an affordable reliable solution.

Does anyone here run their own db servers? Any advise?

Backups, security, upgrades etc

Thank you!

-Many say they want to stop doomscrolling and clout-chasing but I don't know how many are actually willing to do so

-Individuals may move here but their friends won't. So the feed will be initially empty by design. Introducing any kind of reward is against our ethos so we are clueless about how to convince existing friend circles to move.

Is that friend Josh Kopelman?

I switch to vs code from cursor many times a day just to use their python refactoring feature. The pylance server that comes with cursor doesn't support refactoring.

Don't search on GoDaddy. I read somewhere GoDaddy raises the prices of high value domains by choosing them from searches

I have had a single cheapest ec2 server at 5$ per month and hosted both db and server in it. Sqlite for db so easy to back up. It didn't contain any important data though.

I ran many projects in it
