Motivation Currently we have several discussions about data security and that the major hosting providers offering real cloud experience are simply sitting in the US. Due to several projects I’m involved in I wanted to checkout modern hosting providers, fully complaining with the German Data Protection law (no EU rules, easy german rules) also providing advanced functionality like docker hosting, easy up and down scaling etc. So i found linevast.

Motivation In one of our customers environments it was very common that the grafics department used a well defined directory structure including sync with nextcloud to allow access from outside of the company network. During the TYPO3 setup we recognized that our customers editors always did the following steps: Open Windows explorer Use preview functionality / view select a file, note or remember the file open TYPO3 File > Filelist Module Rebuild folder structure if the folders have been missing, to match the structure of the fileserver Upload image Edit content element As you might see, we also recognized really fast that the first part of the process should be simplified.

For some very simple projects we wanted ensure, that we can use git as we do it in nearly every project. Prerequisites: Project managed with Git Gitlab CE / EE Requirements: Branch based deployment Master branch should be published for production Other branches should be deployed as well, but in other folder like builds/{branch} Website users should not see the subfolders if they visit the website Basicly we manage our projects like in git flow, but any branch based way of using git should be sufficient.
