Breaking My Kirby Installation


~1 min 28 Aug 2024

So today's blog post was supposed to be on how I improved my RSS feed, but instead this post will talk about how I almost nuked my website just a few minutes ago

I was trying to manage dependencies with composer (since Kirby is PHP-based), but I did not want to push the whole installation. So I deleted the kirby folder and later realized that I would need it for the website. Then I managed to tar a file with my local development copy to my server totally forgetting that there are a few posts that are not published on Codeberg but are live on the server.

Thank God I had a copy of them on my phone so I copied them over again (sorry if your RSS reader had a mess up!)

Now my reading time plugin is not working and probably a few other things.

The next few hours (and tomorrow will be spent thinking and implementing a git (or other) solution for managing this monstrosity of a blog!)

This was Day 5 of #100DaysToOffload
