The journey from Server.app on a Mac Mini to a DigitalOcean droplet and SpinupWP
Learning to run a Mac Mini server without Server.app.
In my last post, I explained my frustration with web hosting services and how this frustration led me to purchase my own server. In this post, I will briefly touch on some of the ups and downs I’ve experienced with the Mac Mini Server and its Snow Leopard Server software.
Bye-bye Media Temple. You are not the hotness you think you are. Hello, Mac Mini server!
In case you hadn’t heard, pipwerks.com was hacked last week. The entire database was erased. Bastages. Luckily, I had a recent backup. While going through the pains of a new WordPress install (with new plugins, extra security, and imported posts/comments), I decided “why not throw a new layout in the mix, too?” I mean, if I’m going to make changes, I may as well do them all in one shot, eh?
Just a quick note: I’m renovating this site to make better use of WordPress’ capabilities. Because of the move to WordPress, many of my static HTML files will be converted to WordPress ‘pages’; this means you may see some odd posts in my RSS feed from time to time. Feel free to ignore them.
