This morning, I played around with Laravel Cloud some more. I'll try and move Wire in the Wild to it during Laracon EU.
Done and working:
✅ Changed DB driver to pgsql
✅ Created a quick fork of spatie/laravel-tags
✅ Added Hetzner Object Storage for all images
To do:
🔘 Need to replace Browsershot with Screenly from Stefan Zweifel
🔘 Migrate all the images to the object storage
🔘 Migrate the database content
🔘 Connect domain
Laravel Cloud is already working very well, can't wait to move more projects there in the future and not having to worry about infrastructure anymore.
13 years ago, I joined meetup and attended an average of 5 events per year. Tonight I'll attend the 66th event, the Swiss Laravel meetup right before Laracon EU 🥳
