Considerations
Since my Discourse server experience worked out so well (so far),[1] I’m considering moving three Wordpress installs that I maintain to a single Google Cloud server instance. I want to try Caddy for the web server, since https is cooked in, and it looks pretty easy to use. I might just try it. The only sticking point I can see is uploading info to the server, as the ssh connection to the Google Cloud is tricky. Surely there must be a way. Yes, with my keys, I can access the server with simple ssh and sftp. Great.
There’s some discussion about the Norman Mailer Society conference in Long Branch this October. Maggie is proceeding as if it’s still on, but after talking to Phil the afternoon, I wonder if that’s not too optimistic. Regardless, we should decide pretty soon whether to cancel.
Note
- ↑ I’m still concerned about the actual cost. I currently have $300 to use as a trial, and when I logged in today, it says I have $297.82 left. Hm. It’ll be interesting to see what happens here when my students start using the server.
