February General Meeting
NethServer 8: Solid Foundation for Self-Hosting Web Applications
Speaker: Gabriel Cossette, Senior Linux SysAdmin,
Cybera
Self-hosting Web applications is a practice that is useful both in the personal and business context. Depending on the situation, we can enjoy better privacy, flexibility, performance and reduced costs. However, some "boring" aspects we need to think about are backups, authentication, security, scalability and management across servers.
In this talk, Gabriel will present a new multi-server container-based solution that sets a solid foundation for self-hosting, while remaining simple to use and operate: NethServer 8.
