Best Hosting Reccommendation - dankitchen - 11-24-2020
Hi Tactic Community!
I wanted to reach out to see what the current consensus is for hosting a Tactic install? I have experience and installs running on AWS (powerful but unnecessarily complex) google cloud compute (not too bad but google loves to rearrange their backend monthly it seems).
I am looking at Digital Ocean as another potential option (centos droplet?) or ideally something as close to a managed hosting as possible :-) I see Southpaw offers Microsoft Azure as an option as well or the Tactic portal. One thing is that although historically I have been able to do most things through the Tactic interface development-wise, I do still need the ability to add additional Python libraries (for example)
Figured this may drum up some good discussion
Have a great night!

Just to add to this, I gave Digital Ocean a quick try and it was very easy to set up compared to AWS or Google Cloud. I used a CentOS 7 droplet and was able to get installed without much trouble.
