Products that do what I built a platform to deploy open-source Docker containers without code does

I thought it'd be nice if my friends and elders can run Docker containers as easy as using Facebook. The idea is for them to fill in some details, click Deploy Now, and the app should be live in a few secs. https://www.casadila.com Video introduction: https://youtu.be/RYLZsBI3Wus Video example of how a Hello World app is deployed: https://youtu.be/6TEAFajMxus Step by step guide to running a WordPress instance: https://www.casadila.com/docs/how-to-set-up-wordpress I've just opened this up for beta testing.

    Hi, I spent the last year and a half writing a book on Docker and microservices, which was finally released on O'Reilly this week. "Using Docker: Developing and Deploying Software with Containers" takes a holistic approach, showing how containers can be used as the central artifact in a modern software development workflow. If anyone has any q's or feedback, please feel free to comment below. The book is available at: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920035671.do (use code AUTHD for a discount)…

    Hey all, I'm working on a tool to make staging environments more accessible to software development teams - https://deploykumo.com. Here's a blog post describing it in more detail: https://reading.supply/post/10410725-30a6-41d3-aa3b-45568f32.... Let me know what you all think.

    DOrch enables Engineers, Indie Hackers, and Startups to host a docker container (OCI-compatible containers at large), without having to set up or manage a container infrastructure. It comes with features like env variables management, file sharing, FREE subdomain issuance, TLS certificate management, and automatic restart, with more features in the pipeline. The console also allows you to view logs from your containers. The product idea occurred to me about 18 months ago, while working at a different startup. The strategy of the CEO was, spray-and-pray: we created lots of products hoping one…

    Hi HN, this is Cesar and Rodny, developers of an open-source container runtime called Sysbox, and co-founders of a startup called Nestybox (YC S20). We launched on HN almost a year ago and got excellent feedback then (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24084758). Happy to say that over the past year, Sysbox has continued to gain traction, particularly for securing containers in production, CI/CD, and containerized dev environments. We wanted to announce an important new feature: integration between Sysbox and Kubernetes. As a quick refresher, Sysbox is a "runc" that…

    Hi! I am sharing this because it may be useful to others. I created a simple Docker image that lets you easily expose a web app running locally on your dev machine to the Internet, via a proxy server. It is a self hosted alternative to something like Ngrok, which is a paid service if you use custom domains. A small server is cheaper than Ngrok (I use Hetzner Cloud and the cheapest server costs me 3€ per month). I use this method in particular to test HTTP verification with Let's Encrypt for a SaaS app running on my Mac. Hope this is useful :) Code:…

    Hi HN! I've posted this a few weeks back without much HN traction - today we've added a free community tier, so anyone can try it out. TL;DR: We’ve launched StableBuild, a new tool to easily freeze and pin Docker images, operating system packages, Python packages, and arbitrary build dependencies; in 5 lines of code: https://stablebuild.com . As the CTO at an ML startup w/ 75 people (https://edgeimpulse.com/) I’ve grown incredibly frustrated with non-deterministic builds. Last year basically every week one of our containers (we have 40+ unique ones in prod)…

    Been using it for about a year now in production, but rewrote it completely in golang. My first go project so far. I wanted to have something that would make my life easier. A lot of tools nowaday kinda push you towards functional deployments and that usually doesn't work for me since I like stuff like LiveView by Phoenix and Websocket stuff in general. Old vercel deployments back when they allowed to deploy docker containers was a godsend, but since they don't offer that anymore I had to use services like fly.io(which is amazing) or heroku. However I wanted something selfhosted that I could…

    Hey HN, I wanted to share something I’ve been working on. My startup previously built B2B SaaS, and large enterprises sometimes wanted to self-host it for data residency reasons - but this was a nightmare to build and support. I chatted to other builders/founders and it seems this pain is pretty common. But people tolerate it because the biggest customers often require self-hosting. So we’ve built and open-sourced Shepherd to make it easier to manage these self-hosted deployments. It’s MIT licensed, and provides: 1 - Simplified deployment with a UI to create and manage Helm charts, for…

    I'd like to share a project I've been working on for the past few months. It's a distributed workflow engine written entirely in Go. Some highlights: * Tasks are executed in a Docker container * Can run stand-alone or distributed * Highly extensible * Able to enforce limits (CPU/RAM) per task * Web UI Would love the get your feedback on it, and find out if this could be useful.

    Hello HN! We've been working on a new hypervisor https://kwarantine.xyz that can run strongly isolated containers. This is still a WIP, but we wanted to give the community an idea about our approach, its benefits, and various use cases it unlocks. Today, VMs are used to host containers, and make up for the lack of strong security as well as kernel isolation in containers. This work adds this missing security piece in containers. We plan on launching a free private beta soon. Meanwhile, we'd deeply appreciate any feedback, and happy to answer any questions here or on our slack…
