Introduction As discussed in my last post, over the summer I recently started looking at running Umbraco on a variety of mini PCs eventually putting together a longer talk, however this blog post serves as a more permanent record of the findings. Running your own inhouse server is never going to be a recommended solution
I already put a few brief notes on ‘the socials’ (to use that awful hackneyed term) earlier today, but now that I’ve had a bit more time to properly formalise my thoughts I thought I’d put together a slightly longer blog post on this. I’ve actually been going to developer meetups for over a decade,
While not my first Umbraco conference of 2023, I failed to write anything up for Spark in March this year for various reasons largely related to employment at the time. However thankfully times have moved on for the better for my second conference of the year. November 3rd saw the full return of the Umbraco
You generally hear most people talking about using app services or serverless architecture to host websites these days as they’re seen as the ‘cooler’ in thing, with far fewer people still talking about more traditional fullscale servers. Always one for bucking trends though, I still retain much love for the good old traditional server even
Yes, I was struggling for a title more interesting than just ‘Camp Digital 2023’, and I’d only just narrowly dismissed ‘Camp Dogital’, so you’ll have to make do with this! I have this habit of visiting events in various places, making a load of notes, and then forgetting to write anything up until the moment

Background For those who’ve been around in development a few years, people may remember ‘headless’ (effectively separating the frontend application from the backend data) being a huge buzzphrase a
It’s been a good 9 months now since I originally blogged about the efforts to reduce power usage of the inhouse server. Back then, this involved taking one of my biggest sites from Umbraco 7 to Umbraco 9, where huge performance improvements in the CMS were allowing me to run the already quite efficient server
My last conference post on here was for UmbracoSpark in early March 2020, back at the start of a year I’d hoped would include a few other such events including the more user-experience focused Camp Digital 2020. What with 2018 and 2019 being heavy mortgage-saving years for me, 2020 had at the start initially been
(And other such clickbaity titles) For a long time I’ve actually ran my personal Umbraco sites off an inhouse server running off a tiny Intel NUC box, designed to be as energy efficient as possible. Over time with the Umbraco 7 site getting more and more bogged down with increasing node counts and complexity, I
There’s a phrase about ‘famous last words’ I think. 6 months ago I mentioned I was aiming to have my site rebuild of an Umbraco 7 site brought into Umbraco 9 largely complete by the time of the release candidate. Well ignoring the fact they’d actually released the RC a day before that blog post
