Many thanks for your hint @Ivan Gretsky, indeed this is an appraoch without having npm installed.

I am not a deep diving webdev like many of you. With WP I learnt many things about Bootstrap (used it via Livecanvas Builder) and build some things with CSS frameworks (Pure and Bulma). I decided to build my own website with another tool from ground up with pw;-) Since PW is available via Softaculous for the first steps its ok (install, db, and try pw admin), since it installes the intermediate site-profile, but then I wanted to go through the Pw install process itself, tested around, installed pw many times, installed different site-profiles to discover the different output strategies and tested @bernhards cool site-rockfrontend. And enjoy this friendly community with soooo many hints and ideas, even for PW beginners. Really great.

Thats true @elabx. I am coming from Bludit and WP, which were installed via hosters applications (softaculous) or one time via upload into the webdirectory. Then everything I've configured through the WebUI and optically adjusted through themes via an theme editor (wp greenshift odr livecanvas). I had a staging and an production instance, so everything took place on the external servers (and backups of course). I really seldom used an ftp/sftp access anymore or took the way via git like you mentioned configuring a website. It was no need for. I first read about DDEV in this forum, which seams quite interesting. Many thanks @bernhard for adding your RockMigrations deployment -> the collection of possible ways of work is still growing in all directions;-) Thats why I asked how you all work in my metnioned case, just to become an impression and ideas how others work/handle with pw. Because on the first sight as pw beginner, I had the idea everything is happening in the pw admin gui like in other CMSes. I recognize that there are workflows were a "click and configure" are not as efficient or effective as an API or local dev or so. I like that learning curve;-)

Many thanks @elabx @Sanyaissues @millipedia @TomPich @Jan Romero for your different views and workflows how you work with Pw and a external server. That is really helpful for me, because up to now all content, code, structure and templates were handled and setup on my previous CMSes I used. With PW it seams to be a bit different and I thought perhaps there are one or two best practices. But thanks to your answers I found a whole bunch of great possibilities. So cool. For me as pw beginner it's like starting with PW itself, I have to find my best way how to work and manage things with PW.

Many thanks @bernhard. Now I understand the mechanism behind. I didnt realized that this way changes are collected and rebuild into tailwinds css file(s).

Hi How to use site-rockfrontend tailwind css with site-rockend without having npm to gerate tailwindcss on a external webhoster? Just install the site-profile does not solve this, I suppose. I understood that npm is needed to generate the tailwind.css on a local dev box and put that then up to the external site. That makes sense. I just want to understand how to use tailwindcss in that combination without having npm locally and on the external site? Is that possible?

Thanks you very much for your short explanation. I use Litespeed already but not yet with Processwire, so your gained experiences in this field are really valuable.

As a pw newbie, I am curious. How do you work with processwire if you the processwire instance is located on an external server?

Hi I use on a webhosting equipped with a Litespeed webserver (not OpenLiteSpeed), which seams to be compatible with the .htaccess rules to Apache one. Everything seams to be working fine. But I ask myself if I should setup customer sites on Litespeed or better pure Apache. Some questions I am asking myself: Do definied rules of Apache 2.2 and 2.4 working together? Or does this just work out of the box for all Pro and other modules? Does anyone has some deeper technical experience if there are any incompabilities or expected problems between the rules and directives of apache and litespeed? Many thanks for some insights;-)

Three of my favorites are: Vivaldi - Four seasons This one Enigma (older) Or even chill from Hozuki:

For years I have had a hop-on/hop-off relationship between Windows and Linux. I am not and was not a Windows guy, coming from then SGIs desktops and their GUI. in the meantime I've had years of different hardware with many Linux distros (from Slackware, Debian to Suse to RedHat, Mint and many more), but also the very consistent OpenBSD and FreeBSD also as a desktop. With all these unixoids, I kept missing some of the necessary, even proprietary software, for school or my business, for which I had to run on a separate Windows box then becasue of hardware dongles. VM was not a seamless solution. The desktop applications and VMs of unixoid OSes are good, stable and fast today, hardware support is also good. But I had the feeling that it was often only about being able to configure everything, down to the last window, and often only to use an OS without software costs. That's good, but at some point I didn't liked configuring and system administration any more. I simply wanted a system that gave me a good GUI with a unixoid shell, basically a modern BeOS/Haiku OS. Then bought a mac, a macbook, then an imac. After that I tried it out again with a Win10 box. I didn't work quite as smoothly as with macos, but it also progressed. Hardware crashes with an AMD processor and a popular collaboration suite were difficult to solve as a lecturer during the pandemic. I solved this with a quick buy of a mac mini m1 and it still runs around with sensationally low power consumption (max. 36W). Almost green;-) And now 4 hardware steps further, lets see. Mac is not that only alternative, but it is also a usable one.

Yep, that way worked, so cool. Many thanks @bernhard.

In a PM email @bernhard asked me to try installing the module via directory. Will try.

Hi I am a PW newbie and try to install RockMigrations. What I did until now: Fresh PW install. I pointed to Baumrocks RockMigration repo on github. There I clicked on Code, downloaded the main as zip. Then I extracted the zip, changed the folders name to RockMigrations and compressed it as Zip again. Then I uploaded it to PW (yes, debug and upload permitted;-). Everything seems to be ok, I can install Rock Migrations within PW and by doing that MagicPages and the RockMigrationsGUI modules are also installed. My system realesed this warning message: "InputfieldTinyMCETools: settingsFile - File does not exist - /SERVERPATH/site/modules/RockMigrations/TinyMCE/simple.json" out that all is installed in /SERVERPATH/site/modules/MagicPages and for RockMigrations not as expected in /SERVERPATH/site/modules/RockMigrations/ Does anyone have a hint for me? Thank you in advance.
