Patrick saysyou can only file a ticket.
This is why I'm in no hurry to get back into Enterprise development. 9 months now just loafing at home, doing some support work here and there for my previous company.
In the end they were doing everything in a ticket based system. It was stupid and a complete waste of my time. We would be in a meeting, and someone would ask me a technical question, and I would satisfy their quest with the correct answer. But still a ticket would get created for it. People would email me a question or request, and I would just whip it out and do it on the spot, but a ticket ended up in the ticket system. More often than not the text in the request is useless figure out what was wrong. I was getting constantly nagged about clearing out my tickets. I just kept telling them, if you don't like seeing tickets in the system, then stop making frivolous tickets, and assig...
I think it is probably time to really try to host the site from home.
The big issue is the cost of upload bandwidth.
Don't you pay for your ISP service? I just mean that $65/month is getting me only about 1.8 mbps upload bandwidth from home, and that's not enough to run the site.
I'm getting ready to spend half a day setting it up on a discount shared server, where 2 months of Hibu's billing will pay for 3 YEARS of hosting my dick-simple website.

I bet it is. In fact, I'd reduce the bandwidth to 1 mbs, and you should be OK. You can rate limit with a program called trickle.
All you need to do is open port 80 and 443, get some website name from www.dynu.com then use let's encrypt to setup a certificate. I think you already use let's encrypt so the only new thing is using www.dynu.com
OK, I'll do some experiments today. I have an always-on laptop I can use to host it.
I think you could host such a simple site for $5/month on https://www.linode.com/pricing/

If you have virtualbox installed on your machine, I suggest using that.

I've used it, but find it to be a pain, just another layer of cruft to deal with.
Ideally, I'd have an a laptop that just has the same linux I have now on my server so I could migrate without recompiling anything or re-installing any pacakages, just a mass copy.
True, VMs have a place for moving images archived images around and segregating work spaces.
But they also add a lot of work and complexity: installing virtualbox, the extension pack, setting up networking to map it to the host machine, starting up and keeping the vm running etc.
I just found that for a single website, they felt like more of a pain in the ass than they were worth.
If Digital Ocean would just let me upload an run a virtualbox image, that would be compelling. But I think they do not
Patrick -- I no longer get emails notifying me if someone LIKES my posts/comments since the site was restarted. Do you have something you need to restart for that too?
Thank you for contacting DigitalOcean and I am sorry that you were having issues accessing your website on your Droplet.
The Droplet is on a hypervisor that was undergoing emergency maintenance. We migrated your Droplet automatically in order to try and keep things operating normally. I understand this has a serious impact on your deployment and these situations are only done as an emergency measure and not intentional. We appreciate your patience around this issue and I am glad that you were able to return your Droplet back to working condition.
Yes, when I liked that, my test user got an email.
Huh.
As a feature, why not just have a list of likes that ages out after, say, 7 days.
What I'd really like is a notification when somebody replies to me.
Now I am getting flooded with them going back over a year. Not sure if they are duplicates or originals.
My spam folder just got flooded with tons of emails from likes/replies going back from Sept, @Patrick
I'm getting ready to migrate my tiny business website to a discount host.

I was able to reboot from the ISP's control panel and manually restart processes.
I think it was attacked. Looking into it.
