EU devs: Will your site be faster, greener and cheaper?
First of all: Yes, I am trying to get the word out about my new product, and I want to be honest about that. Do know that I genuinely think this can be useful for all of you, and I’d really appreciate your feedback!
Anyway, getting a website ready for scale can be tricky. Caching is hard, cloud providers can be overwhelming, and it’s not the work you like to be doing. I know, I’ve been there 😉
That’s why I’ve built Silvan Bolt. It sits in between your domain and your server (which can be a simple and cheap VPS, or whatever you’re used to). The pages and assets of your website will be cached automatically, even before the first user hits your site, making everything lightning fast.
Yes, this is kinda like CloudFlare, but much simpler and with a different mission: This is all about the environment. From every euro we make, half of it goes to planting trees and other planet-restoring-initiatives.
At this point I’m hosting it the Netherlands, because that’s where I’ve found the most green provider I know. Running on renewable energy, and reusing the heat from servers to warm public buildings and water for showers. If you know anything like this elsewhere in the world I’m very interested in that! But at this point I’m looking for devs in the EU, to start things out.
So, would this be something you’d use? What are the results of the test on the page? Is your site getting much faster and is everything still working properly? Please let me know ☺️

Deploy Drupal in docker with nginx - Suggestion for improvements
Hello, 2 years ago, I was working for a customer and I needed to install Drupal inside a VPS, and I was facing many issues with the typical PHP configuration, so I decided to use Docker, in which I set up the configuration.
I created an article for my company website and a GitHub repository, and unexpectedly, the SEO ranked a lot, and it was receiving traffic daily. And for this reason, due to another customer's work, I had the opportunity to update the codebase recently, specifically for SSL and Drupal 11.
I want to share because I would like to receive feedback for further improvements, and it can even be helpful for other people with the same issue as me.
The configuration I had been using is:
- Nginx for public access with a reverse proxy that manages SSL certificates
- PHP FPM + Drupal + Composer
- MariaDB / MySQL
- PhpMyAdmin as extra.
And the issue I was facing is the permission management with SSL certificates generated by the hosting machine, in which Docker has trouble reading, as it doesn't have root access to read the SSL certificates, and I must do a local copy, making trouble every 3 months. And I was considering a solution like certbot image.
Feel free to be critical, but not offensive.
Thanks:

Why is so hard to make custom twig templates for Drupal?
Hi all,
Drupal is great for creating custom content types, setting up layouts, placing reusuable blocks but the one thing it is terrible at is making custom templates.
Why is there no option in views for me to simple select that i want all fields to simple come back in a certain tag and just get the text value, for example
<span>field_blog_title.value</span>
<img src="{{ field\_blog\_featured\_img.url }}" />
<p>field_blog_summary.value</p>
If Drupal was better at this i swear the usage would sky rocket.

Should Junior devs learn Drupal?
I have six months of experience working with PHP (Laravel, Wordpress) and have been wanting to find a job with Drupal for a long time, but I can't find any junior positions, and there are only a couple of mid-level positions. Is Drupal generally relevant for junior/mid-level positions anywhere?

Being a freelance developer without speaking English well
I'm a Drupal developer with approximately 4 years of experience. I've worked in both the backend and frontend. I've also worked in devops (with Docker or Kubernetes).
Is there a freelance market in the United States for Drupal developers (Spanish-speaking) who can speak English fairly well, but not so well?
I'm from South America and I'm currently earning around $15 an hour. I'd like to reach around $20-$25 an hour.
Is this a pipe dream, or is it possible?
To illustrate what I can do, I can list some tasks such as:
- Configuring content types
- Configuring custom block types
- Using these blocks in page layout builders
- Creating twig templates, along with their necessary style sheets or JS files. That is, I can convert a Figma design into a reusable block configuration in Layout Builder.
- Custom modules for settings forms or third-party integrations.
- The entire theme includes hooks, whether entity or preprocessing.
- Building Docker images and deploying with Docker Compose or Kubernetes (manifests).
Well, I think that sums up a bit of what I can do with Drupal.
Thanks.

Node migration from D9 varbase to D11 core
Hello,
I want to migrade an old page on D9 Varbase to a clean D11.
Content type migration seems rather simple. A test with one type and drush cim/cex tools was successfull.
But when I want to migrade nodes I don't have any working solution yet.
I tried Entity Migrate Export module that created a migration grup with nodes. But the migrate:status shows on the destination that the total size of migration is 0.
Do you know any good solution for this task? JSON:API maybe?
Thanks!

Del Estí al Caldera
Mientras uno es utilizado como fuente de una hidroeléctrica nacional que genera energía mediante turbinas, el otro desarrolla velocidad gracias a la gravedad, bajando desde lo alto de la cordillera Central y bañando las tierras de la Feria de las Flores y del Café en Boquete, ampliamente conocida.
En ese peregrinar, a veces encontramos este último río tranquilo y meditabundo, pero en circunstancias impredecibles puede tornarse indomable, como cuando hace algunos años su caudal arrasó con todo a su paso, poniendo a prueba incluso a dos hoteles del distrito.
En esta historia se cruzan dos distritos de la provincia de Chiriquí: Gualaca y Boquete.
La hidroeléctrica Estí, ubicada a unos 400 kilómetros al oeste de la capital, utiliza los excedentes de proyectos como Chiriquí y Fortuna. El proyecto Fortuna aprovecha las aguas del río Chiriquí y posee una presa de almacenamiento tipo embalse con un área de drenaje de 166 km² y una capacidad instalada de 300 MW.
La central hidroeléctrica Estí cuenta con la presa Barrigón, que recibe los caudales desviados desde La Esperanza en el río Chiriquí y los propios de la quebrada Barrigón, con un área de drenaje de 703 km² y una capacidad instalada de 120 MW.
He llegado hasta aquí para subrayar lo que el distrito de Gualaca —olvidado en parte del progreso provincial y nacional— podría lograr si aprovecha la fuerza motora de sus aguas para atraer turismo. Allí no solo está la hidroeléctrica Estí, sino también los Cangilones, un sitio que es mucho más que un balneario: es un atractivo turístico desaprovechado por la falta de inversión privada y el escaso impulso del gobierno a través de la Autoridad de Turismo de Panamá (ATP).
En una visita reciente a Gualaca observé que el alumbrado público no llega hasta el Colegio Jesús María Pla, y que hay deficiencias tanto en la señalización vial como turística. Esto debería preocupar a las autoridades locales, que tienen la tarea de mejorar la infraestructura. A ambos lados de la vía, los herbazales altos aprisionan la entrada del pueblo.
De Boquete no hablaré, porque ya es conocido y se defiende solo.
Pero la carretera que une Caldera con Gualaca sí necesita mejoras: buena iluminación, señalización turística y de tránsito, además de hombros adecuados.
Gualaca posee un potencial turístico que hay que mirar con visión de futuro. Su fiesta de inicios de agosto debería recibir mayor promoción, lo que solo es posible si toda la comunidad se involucra.
El corregimiento de Hornito, con una altitud de 1,271 metros y unos 1,230 habitantes, merece un trato especial. Cerca se encuentran historias y paisajes agrestes, como la reserva forestal Fortuna con su hidroeléctrica, así como ríos y cascadas que aún esperan ser explorados.
El cerro Hornito, de 2,102 metros sobre el nivel del mar y con una estructura que recuerda la forma de un horno, es otro atractivo singular. Sus primeros pobladores llegaron desde Caldera y Paja de Sombrero, en busca de tierras para ampliar sus cultivos.
La cabecera del corregimiento, Valle de la Mina, recuerda que allí funcionó una mina de oro. También existe el sitio conocido como Lavadero, lo que añade interés histórico al lugar.
Gualaca, con sus escuelas, colegio, clubes cívicos, educadores y autoridades municipales, tiene un gran reto: crecer como distrito y conquistar el lugar que merece en la provincia. En buena hora, y que así sea.
