Along with what the other old mates have said. Using containers is super handy in web development. You can use Docker Desktop (windows, mac, linux etc) and set up containers, one for PHP, another for postgres (database) and have them all interconnect.

The benefit I’ve found is that once someone has set up a docker file (the thing that says how it all builds and interconnects) you can launch it with a single click.

The Kbin project itself has a docker setup to get up and running, handling most of the connection between the database and Symfony (the framework of the website)

The issue is I’m keen on following the self-hosting / server specific content but generally I’ve got nothing exciting to add. I can offer upvotes and kbin boosts 🚀

This is a strange one. I assumed people wanting this type of service would want to view all the content from the fediverse but not push to the fediverse

E.g. start your own instance of kbin and connect with everyone but turn off your own federation so no one sees your posts.

Wonder if that scenario has been catered to?

I know we’re using codeberg for kbin.social

It’s been a pretty decent experience so far, similar to GitHub but a little more basic. The markdown editor is my biggest gripe so far, it has weird backspace handling on mobile
