Hi everyone! I normally don’t post Lifeboat PR here because I don’t know how many people here are actually using Web 2.0 and I really don’t want to spam the place. The reason I’m posting is because the Discord channel has been very supportive and have encouraged me to post releases here too. If you…

I have been expanding! Lifeboat does install PHP and configures nginx so that your websites can use php-fpm. I tried installing MySQL and it was a nightmare. I may be able to automate it, but it’s not a small task. My hope is that PostgreSQL is easier. I’ve been trying to show folks that it can be …
