Your own CMS + Backend in 15': How to deploy PocketBase to Fly.io 🚀 DevEx, version control, CI/CD!

People always ask me, what’s the best CMS to use nowadays? Is there a WordPress alternative? Should it be React, Svelte, headless? Just go with SquareSpace or Webflow?

There’s many mid options but I’ve never had a great answer until now with PocketBase! I’ve been enjoying using it, it’s been trending massively, but there’s still some knowledge gaps to make it work to a “production” standard.

Let’s fix this today, by extensively going over local development & deployment!

Does it matter that we use alpine:latest in the Dockerfile but ubuntu-latest in the GH action?
