I’m in the no-bucket, but instead i spend time on issues, helping the community and sometimes code contributions to self hosted projects instead.

This is not taken into the account of the question, however, but should be considered as contributing.

(I also consider donating to be contributing.)

Nah thanks, up arrow hasnt failed me yet

Yeah, or Shelfplayer

I’m holding off on trying Plappa until they add session support, since I like the stats, heh.

Tho I do have a Testflight spot for the ABS app, as well.

I do want to try Plappa, though! I really like the paperless-ngx app (Paperparrot) from the same developer

The ABS app is also still in beta on iOS, so unless you are tech savvy enough to either sideload or try to get in on one of the windows when users are booted from the testflight beta, you are going to have to use one of the 3d party apps.

Prologue just seems to do many things nicely, and user experience seems very important to the developer, so there is a huge crowd that swears by the app.

I know you wrote /s, but this has basically nothing to do with the tech of microservices, and more to do with internal politics.

Switch the ”user microservice” to ”birth date is not indexed in the database and i have to reach out to the database handling team” and you are in the same situation

Tbh mostly microservices solves two issues for me:

1. You can scale resource-heavy operations without an impact of scaling everything else.
2. You kind of ”force” people to keep things contained, instead of making everything interdependant. Which helps containing issues with updates to certain functionality to only have an impact on that functionality.

You could do #2 in a ”monolithic” setup as well (by doing modules or libraries or something), it just never works out that way in practice

Imo they do not add problems, but they do exchange some problems for other problems.

Does this sync stats for downloaded books ok?

EDIT: seems like not yet, https://github.com/LeoKlaus/plappa/discussions/15

I second this comment!

I’ve always used an nginx alpine image and have been very happy with it.

Not sure how this fork business is turning out and I have also heard conflicting opinions on wether to care or not…

If you do wish for something simple that is not nginx I’m also very happy with caddy, which can also handle ssl certificates for you, if you plan to make it publicly reachable.

This blog post mentions that it should be possible at least!

Im currently using their free tier for a hobby project and have been happy with it. Have considered moving over to self hosting the solution, but have been keeping off on it due to resource contraints, but might make the leap soon! Would be nice to get use of the uptime pings, which currently would fill the event way too quickly for the free tier.
