An analytics tool?

Same here. Makes me consider just doing my own thing instead and rolling my own extra backup system. Something to consider.

That aside, I'm surprised at how there is a VPS limitation at both Netcup and OVH. Netcup is selling ARM as the closest alternative. OVH is selling Canada as the closest option. I found it weird.

Had considered Hetzner, not going down that route. If only Scaleway had services in the US. Well, their snapshots are marked as copy on write, so my assumption is that for every write, there is replication somewhere.

Check their website.

I am looking to run a few root servers and my ideal was going to be Netcup's RS units cause they have a good rep and EU & US choices aren't bad. However, Netcup isn't currently offering them in Manassas VA (US), which was a requirement for me to kick-start it.

My project is already into the final line, and this was a bit of a bombshell, so I have to figure out who else offers near equivalents for the same thing.

One thing that is key is backup and their Snapshots (Copy-On-Write) were a big deal for me as I am dealing with 3rd party data.

Who else can offer the same in both EU/US with the same storage options and so on?

Appreciated

Edit*

I checked with OVH and at the moment, they only have Canada for options. US is sold out. Feels weirdly wrong. Netcup don't have a timeline for US updates.

How did you get that effect?

This seems to be the way. Panel beating Grav. Dang. Wish it were more friendly, but still much respect to the development team.

I have used both WordPress and Drupal and they are pretty good. I leaned towards Drupal more, for its flexibility. Grav is superb for my needs. Lightweight, fast, very few requirements, its the best platform to use for what I am doing. However, for all those benefits, there are limitations, and to me, themeing and documentation are a pain. However, it is the best flat file CMS hands down.

I am struggling with themeing.

Explored them previously, and today as part of my research, but would not work for my current situation. Hugo in the future though may be a potential move.

The reason why I picked it was the 2021 award and the previous awards. However themeing has been a pain point for me. Given that my story site is picking up steam, I want to start making it look better and I am still struggling with themeing. Automad themes well, but does not have the plugin/modules I need.

 

Hi,

I've selfhosted Grav for two years going to three, but I want to move on to something else. I am looking for a flatfile CMS. I have experimented a bit and the best I found so far is Automad, but it isn't quite there. What alternatives can you recommend? PHP is where I am leaning.

Thanks.

Edit: Given my unclear query, I have struggled themeing. It has always been a pain and for whatever reason, documenting is somewhat unclear.

 

This is test art work from an upcoming project.

Thanks for this.

Used to run over 40 drives. Backblaze pointed out those Toshiba's. Man they do not die.

You need to check your error logs. Assuming a Linux setup it would be somewhere around /var/logs/*
