I use Coolify for my own personal static site and it’s just like that. Git pushes redeploy my site and I get a discord notification once’s it’s done. The only manual thing I did was use a cloudlfare tunnel So it’s available to the public, since I am using my homelab to host Coolify.
I host maybe 8 different side projects on Coolify like this. Most don’t even have a Dockerfile in the repo. I use the standard nix packs option, and builds, rolling deployments etc are auto handled.
I need to ship the current orders before taking the next batch, so it will probably be sometime in late July. You can sign up for an email notification for the next batch here: https://vassarrobotics.com/newsletter
I’ve been using https://www.coolify.io/ self hosted. It’s a good middle ground between full blown k8s and systemd services. I have a home lab where I host most of my hobby projects though. So take that into account. You can also use their cloud offering to connect to VPSs

I’ve met quite few while living in the Bay Area. I moved to Austin a few years ago and there are even more of us here. You and I have made some similar choices in life though. I enlisted in 09 and got into tech after returning from Afghanistan as well.
