Confirmed that LightSail works with ServerPilot ( https://serverpilot.io/ ). LightSail's default firewall opens ports 22 (SSH) and 80 (HTTP) but has 443 (HTTPS) closed. That seems like a terrible default for making a dev

Given how many people are uninspired and undirected in their lives, it's a wonderful privilege to have something you know you want to do. On top of that, it's amazing to be in a position where you can make it happen. I've got

Hi. Thanks for your feedback. We need to improve the site to make these things clearer. We save you time by configuring servers initially, doing reconfiguration tasks for you, setting up and handling monitoring (e.g. of disk space, cpu, app
