About This Episode

Configuring servers can be tricky, but it's much easier using drop-in configs so you're not editing files that could change across versions or environments.

Notes

I've been refactoring some Hatchbox.io internals to use Linux drop-in configs as much as possible. If you hand-configure a server, you'll probably edit config files but drop-in configs are much better for automation.
