A new update long due!
We've been busy with a lot of cool stuff in Ploi, some of them that are already released and some of them are already available. When you check out our roadmap (https://roadmap.ploi.io/) on the live section you'll see a lot of new stuff has been added, certainly worth it to check out this list.
We're also planning on doing more video tutorials on how to solve specific problems or setup specific use-cases. You're more than welcome to submit your idea's to this card so we can transform this into a video: https://roadmap.ploi.io/b/general/youtube-instructional-videos/
Planned maintenance
Due to the growth we are improving our server power. The planned maintenance is on February 16th at 08:00 CET, and it is expected to last about 30 minutes or less. During this time you will not be able to manage servers/sites via ploi.io. Neither will any of your services go down, everything will still keep on going like you're used to from ploi.io.
You may now easily migrate from Forge
Felix Schmid recently created an awesome tool to migrate from Forge to Ploi. The tool covers all the basics (and a bit more) to migrate everything to have a flying start. A migration costs 19€ and if you have more servers the price goes down. Check out https://migrator.felix-schmid.de/ for more information.
