How do you keep dev/prod parity without paying double wey?

I got this client project on GreenCloudVPS and I need staging but their next tier is like? Too much?

Was thinking of just running docker compose on my home pc but my isp blocks port 80 wey

Anyone got the cheap hack?

Fun little project: I run staging on a NAT VPS from RackNerd, $8/year. Tunnel through WireGuard to my home lab for access.

# on the NAT box
docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml up -d

It actually works. Same images, just scaled to 1 replica.

For prod parity I sync the compose files, environment diffs only.

works on my bench ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
