Production ready alternative to snapd

Wekan / General · February 15, 2020 at 1:51am (Edited 4 years ago)

Hi,

while I would love to install wekan on my server I am struggling on which method I should go for. Snapd is unfortunately not an option because my VPS does not support snapd installations. I have installed docker on my server but within the docs of wekan its sounds like its not a good solution for production deployments. Could someone please tell me which route I should go for or are they any good alternatives?

I am also not a fan of Univention, Sandstorm or paid services.

Regards

Is there some reason you can not change to other server provider where Snapd works?

    With Snapd, it updagrades everything: migrates database schema changes, updates node.js, etc all dependencies

      It's most trouble free

        Some did say that LDAP does not work properly with Docker. It works in Snap.

          Docker is much more compilcated tech

                  Usually on some VPS if snapd does not work, it could have some outdated virtualization tech like OpenVZ with old version of linux kernel, or some other limited kernels that OVH or Kimsufi uses

                    There is no reason to use such outdated and old server tech
