The best way to manage Open Source web applications

I like that it's open source, so you can modify anything about its code base as much or little is convenient for your own needs/wants of how things work internally in ocservant-server (OCS).

You have complete control over what server components are running inside an instance - this makes managing instances easier than with other solutions out there such as Heroku which requires some level of trust from users who don't know exactly whats going behind their back when they deploy something without permission firstly. It would be great if we could easily set up our application stack using Docker but since most people tend not too do stuff outside off a virtual machine environment then having full management capabilities through CLI commands might make sense enought instead? We use OCservent primarily because one day my colleague found himself stuck at home due lack.

Pros
  • Flexibility to install packages
  • Easy installation process; almost zero downtime compared tp docker environments
Cons
  • Not bad
