Whenever I'm setting up websites, I've always gone down the route of just manually configuring nginx, and copying the files to the webroot (including for ProcessWire).
My only real experience with docker has been for running stuff locally during development (originally docker-compose but as of today DDEV), so my question is does anyone run their site using docker, in particular PW.
As all my sites I host are small, low-traffic sites I just have them running on a small VPS from DigitalOcean - with manually configured XEMP, and I've always struggled to see what benefits a docker/container-based approach would give. One thing that's always worried me with a docker based approach is for things like the DB, ensuring that if the container is destroyed the DB data isn't lost! It seems most of the tutorials in the wild are more geared towards using hosted databases... but when you're on a budget every cost adds up!
