Netlify More

Saturday, April 15, 2023

We’ve been using Netlify for the docs.vmst.io site for a while now, but it wasn’t until recently I realized it could be used for other things that we host.

I’ve now successfully moved:

• element.vmst.io, our Element Web portal for accessing Matrix.
• elk.vmst.io, our Elk alternative web client for Mastodon.
• semaphore.vmst.io, our Semaphore alternative web client for Mastodon.

This means fewer Docker containers and custom build operations are needed to maintain these deployments. Any new releases of these platforms can be deployed automatically in a few minutes and new deployments can be tested easier.
