Implemented #Supabase Cron with my website for daily backups. Aaand yet again it was super tricky, as it typically goes with #selfhosting Supabase, haha. Worth it in the end though. I also reported a bug, so hopefully that'll be fixed and the next person won't have such a hard time.

I promised I'd share my final #deployment setup, so here it is. I ended up replacing #Nginx + Certbot with just Caddy. This simplifies my setup, especially SSL (Caddy does it automatically). And I did not compromise on security; even made it better... (1/2)

Set up #Supabase Storage on my website last weekend. As it usually goes with Supabase #selfhosting, this wasn't exactly straightforward, but I'm really happy with the results. (1/2)

This week I FINALLY finished a huge update for my website after 1 year of development 😱 It was mostly on-and-off, but with a few stretches of continuous hard work. This resulted in a complete rewrite of the backend (❌ Nest JS API ✅ #NextJS server functions)... 1/2

I think I have a new favorite setup for #selfhosting websites. I used to configure #Nginx and Let's Encrypt (with Certbot) manually on my #Linux servers, and then I also tried out a #Docker Compose setup with an Nginx and a Certbot container. (1/2)

Finished migrating all the features on my website (cubingcontests.com) that I was planning to. Now I just need to deploy the new infra and we're ready for release, finally after almost one year!

If we're allowing anti-EU parties in the #EuropeanParliament, maybe when the aliens come down to Earth, we should also give them a permanent seat in the UN Security Council 👍

I think every testing library should come with a 12 gauge shotgun, just in case you need to blow your brains out real quick.

I'm nearing the release of my big website update (cubingcontests.com), but a part of me is dreading it, because I KNOW after an update this big, bugs are bound to be found. I did cover it with more tests, but that's not the same as real world use. Fingers crossed 🤞

I think I'll do #freelance #webdev as my next job. It's a competitive market out there rn, but I'm confident I can find ways to stand out, build a solid brand and a list of clients. I'd just love to do my own thing rather than keep chugging away doing office work.

Tried out Zed editor for coding for a little while, but yet again came to the conclusion that VS Code is still the best. I know it's not optimized and often has extension issues, but it's just hard to beat its ecosystem benefits, plus it's easier to troubleshoot.

I began setting up #Supabase for my project this weekend. I'm liking it so far, but MAN they don't make it easy to selfhost, particularly the analytics module. Well at least I got it done in the end and now I have access to great admin tools for my project.
