Nowadays, web frameworks come with ✨ magic ✨. Some more than others, but all of them have some. The...

Coolify's one-line install script is great — until it isn't. Right now it officially supports Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04 LTS. If you're running anything newer (Ubuntu's already on 26.04 LTS), the script won't work and you're left doing it manually. This is that manual walkthrough — set up in the order that fits a security-first VPS workflow rather than the order Coolify's own docs use. If you've been following along with the Ansible playbooks from earlier in this series, this picks up right where that left off. Minimum Hardware Requirements CPU: 2 cores Memory: 2 GB RAM Storage: 30 GB free Coolify can technically run below this, but it's not recommended. Prerequisites Before touching Coolify itself, you'll need: SSH access to your VPS CURL installed Docker Engine installed If you're reconnecting to a server you've rebuilt or re-provisioned, clear the old fingerprint first: ssh-keygen -f '/home/your-path/.ssh/known_hosts' -R 'your-vps-ip' Installing SSH If you followed the earlier videos in this series, OpenSSH is already installed. If not: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y openssh-server Confirm it's running and check which port it's listening on (you should have already changed this from the default 22 — see the VPS security video): sudo systemctl status ssh sudo ss -tulpn | grep ssh Installing CURL sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y curl curl --version curl and ca-certificates also get installed as part of the apt-update Ansible playbook below, so this may already be handled. Running the First Ansible Playbook Connect Ansible to the VPS: ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING = FALSE ansible -i ./inventory/hosts vpsDemo -m ping --user root --ask-pass Then run the update playbook: ansible-playbook ./playbooks/apt-update.yml --user root -e "ansible_port=22" --ask-pass --ask-become-pass -i ./inventory/hosts If you haven't set up the Ansible inventory and playbooks from the earlier videos, do that first — this guide assumes they're already in place.

Table of Contents: Introduction Constants Singletons & Services Singleton Service Locator Introduction Every Unity developer eventually hits the exact same wall: how do I get my UI script to talk to my Game Manager without turning my codebase into a tangled web of dependencies? Managing global state is a fundamental challenge in game architecture, and the internet is full of conflicting, often dogmatic advice on how to handle it. In this article, we are going to look at some popular approaches to managing global state: Static Constants, Singletons and Service Locator. Before we start though, I encourage you to read some of my previous blog posts in this series on project scaffolding or, even more crucial to some sections in this article, the bootstrapping process . Constants Not every piece of global data needs a instance to live in, interfaces, or an initialization phase. Some data is constant and never changes at runtime (constants). These constants are usually defined with static readonly or const (at least they should be if they never change). Example: public static class MathConstants { public const float MilesToKm = 1.60934f ; } public class CharacterAnimationController : MonoBehaviour { // we must use static readonly instead of const here because we need to generate the SpeedHash from the string literal. public static readonly int SpeedHash = Animator . StringToHash ( "Speed" ); } Constants are also tied to the type they are defined in. So to keep things neat, you should only define constants where appropriate. Meaning if you have a constant for the max networked inventory slot capacity, this shouldn't be defined in a class called NetworkedConstants and instead should reside inside the class that represents the NetworkedInventory which needs this data. In fact, if this is the only class that needs this data, you can even make it private although it's perfectly fine to make it public as well if there's a need for it in other scripts as long as you are not just
