I skipped session 3 in order to attend the live version of session 4, so I’ll need to double back soon to what I’ve missed. In today’s unit we explored different Docker containers like HedgeDoc, Baserow, and WBO. Through these exercises, we learned about updating containers, working with Bind Mounts, and cloning from a github repository instead of manually creating a docker-compose file.
This blog post covers quick notes from session 2 of Reclaim Hosting’s EdTech Flex Course on understanding containers. This session covered installing NextCloud on Reclaim Cloud by looking at docker run vs. docker-compose commands. We also looked at quick docker commands to run from terminal & defined Volumes, Bind Mounts, and Variables.
SSL certificates, oh SSL certificates. Where to begin? These little certificates help hold the big web securely together to protect websites. But they are finicky. Reclaim Hosting uses Let’s Encrypt across our infrastructure and using it on Reclaim Cloud was a no-brainer. Jelastic partners with Let’s Encrypt to bring SSL certificates as an addon to […]
Picking up from yesterday, you can find my notes here: LiteSpeed Certification Part 1. Understanding OPCache By enabling OPCache, you can speed up PHP that cannot be cached. As with anything, this comes with pros and cons: Pro: PHP is served faster by caching internal calls Con: OPCache is cleared …
I have so much to catch up on in terms of blogging and reminiscing over the last few months here and I’m promising myself that I’ll get to it soon enough. In the meantime, I wanted to jump to present day and talk about a Professional Development meeting that I …
I feel like I’ve had writer’s block for weeks now. I’ve been most productive with the monotonous tasks that I had been putting off for some time. Some days I work for hours without moving, while other days I can’t sit still for more than a couple of minutes. There’s no doubt that we all have been coping differently with an anxiety-inducing global pandemic, and I have been no exception….
In an effort to start unpacking all things WordPress, I decided to start first with understanding how a few basic WP dashboard tools are working on the backend. Today I’m looking at Page Templates. Now it’s one thing to troubleshoot the WordPress file system in little spurts as tickets present themselves, and another thing entirely to build out your own page template. So while this may seem like basic knowledge…
The Reclaim Hosting team has started approaching professional development with a little more intention and as a group. We’ve decided to make each month as its own unit, and February is the month of Domains and File Structures. Obviously there’s a lot of ways to take this topic, so Meredith broke it down for us into three separate sections. The first third of the month was for Domains (i.e. Add-on,…
I’m sitting in my home office, staring down at my little, blue notebook full of OER19 scribbles, and a bit in disbelief that the two-day conference has already come and gone. Last week I had the pleasure of returning to OER for the second time to participate in conversations surrounding this year’s theme: Recentering Open. I was also there to help represent Reclaim Hosting with Jim and Meredith, and I…
Up until some time last week, I didn’t actually realize that a Drupal Multisite was possible. I received a support ticket asking if Drupal Multisites doable in Reclaim Hosting’s environment, and responded by saying something along the lines of, “well since single Drupal sites are possible within Reclaim, I would imagine a Multisite is as … Continue reading Creating a Drupal Multisite
