This article motivated me to upgrade my hosting approach.

I've been running a DigitalOcean VPS for years hosting my personal projects. These include a static website, n8n workflows, and Umami analytics. I used manual Docker container management, Nginx, and manual Let's Encrypt certificate renewals. I was too lazy even to set up certbot.

I've migrated to a Portainer + Caddy setup. Now I have a UI for container management and automatic SSL certificate handling. It took about two hours.

Thanks for bringing me to 2025!
