Distr is designed to help software engineers distribute and manage their applications or agents in customer-controlled or shared-responsibility environments. You only need a Docker Compose file or Helm chart—everything else for on-prem is handled by the platform. We’re are an open source dev tool company. Over the past couple of months, we’ve spoken with dozens of software companies to understand their challenges with on-prem deployments. We analyzed the internal tools they’ve built and the best practices from existing solutions, combining them into a prebuilt, Open Source solution that…

Hey HN, I'm a solopreneur and I ship apps like a madman. 16 startups in the last 2 years. I realized I was doing the same thing over and over: set up DNS records, connect DB, listen to Stripe webhooks... So I built ShipFast for 2 reasons: 1. Save time and focus on what matters: building a business 2. Avoid headaches like emails ending in spam or waiting 3 days for Google to approve I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback pls Marc

Hi HN! Throughout the past year, I have been building a CMS for the Vue framework Nuxt. It started as a side project for myself, where I was trying to develop a decent block/content builder for my client websites. It was fun creating stuff, and it ended up as a fully featured CMS ready to replace my current WordPress projects with something much more enjoyable to develop with. It's free (MIT) and open-source. I'm here to answer all your questions. Thanks for reading! Muris :)

I learned Flask, Python, Uwsgi, and Nginx configuration in order to make this happen. Oh and if you're feeling generous, you can buy them for $2 a pop: https://prlibs.com/nocc

Golang is an incredible language for web development. That being said, indie developers and small businesses will likely miss extensive resources found in other projects like Django. Although building an application from the ground up using the standard library is possible, it can be error prone and time consuming. Pocketbase has almost everything an indie developer needs, supporting database, authentication, and file storage into a single, easy-to-deploy executable. Combined with HTMX, and you can created a full stack web application without bloated front end frameworks. That being said,…

Really, that's it: an open source and self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Render, Netlify, Laravel Cloud and the likes. Obviously simpler, but it should handle the basics pretty well: - Git-based deployments: Push to deploy from GitHub with zero-downtime rollouts and instant rollback. - Multi-language support: Python, Node.js (beta), PHP (soon)... basically anything that can run on Docker. - Environment management: Multiple environments with branch mapping and encrypted environment variables. - Real-time monitoring: Live and searchable build and runtime logs. - Team collaboration:…

Tired of bloated installers and complex DevOps pipelines? I built PPORT — a terminal-based messenger — to demo a crazy simple idea: 1. Instant CLI delivery over HTTP 2. Just curl or irm, nothing else 3. TypeScript on the fly via Deno 4. Live deployment without Docker or builds How it works: Visit https://pport.top Run one command (curl -fsSL pport.top | sh) PPORT streams scripts and source files dynamically based on your client (curl, browser, Deno) No packaging. No compiling. No friction. Source on GitHub: https://github.com/vseplet/pport Curious what else…

# Show HN: VeilStream - Per-Branch Preview Environments ## Optionally with sanitized production data I've been building VeilStream to solve a problem I kept running into: Rigorous evaluation of changes, such that they won't break production is hard. Staging is shared and often broken. Pulling to local setups are a pain. So PRs get a quick code skim and a "LGTM." VeilStream spins up isolated preview environments from your `docker-compose.yml`, (optionally) complete with a sanitized snapshot of your production database. ## What happens when you open PR #247 1. GitHub webhook hits our API 2. We…

Claude Code is amazing at writing code, but it will happily build from under-specified requirements, implement the same thing different ways, and fail to write great tests unless you specifically ask it to. Prawduct is a set of prompts, skills, hooks, and artifact templates that help focus Claude Code on product development rather than code development. You can start from something a simple as "make a website with a scientific calculator" or as complex as "create a MMO with clients for iOS, Android, and web". You can specify as much or as little arch standards or implementation details as…

.env files have always felt archaic, insecure, clunky and honestly just not fun to work with. I see my friends (and myself) accidentally committing them all the time. Managing secrets across projects becomes a mess of copy-pasting keys into scattered env files with no real way to sync anything. So I built better-env: a secure, developer-friendly alternative to .env. Store your secrets once in a global encrypted store, and load them per-project at runtime. I’d love feedback on whether this feels useful beyond solo devs, and what you’d want for teams or CI setups. Fully open source:…
