Automatically update Drupal core, Drupal modules, and Docker images with Renovate

As promised in the last post, here is a new article over on the Velir blog. It is an in-depth introduction to using Renovate to keep your projects updated automatically and stay ahead of security issues - no matter if you are using Drupal, PHP, Go, NPM, Docker, Ruby or Rust (and many more).

Deploying Drupal 8

Deploying Drupal 8

I see people ask or state they are confused about how to deploy Drupal 8 when most (if not all) hosting platforms disallow running tools like Composer or NPM in production. Since Composer is the defacto package management tool for PHP, the natural inclination is to push your code changes and fetch packages on the remote server. But services like Acquia, Pantheon and other managed hosting services don't allow for running such tools.

I've relaunched on Drupal 8.

I've relaunched on Drupal 8.

After many, many years of running on various static site platforms, I've relaunched my blog on Drupal 8.

Why?

After returning home from vacation in the Virgin Islands, I noticed my site had an old email address in the metadata of the site. For 5 years I never noticed this. It was really annoying to see and even harder to find where it was coming from. So I decided to make the switch.
