ohai! I've released Lightwhale 3, which is possibly the easiest way to self-host Docker containers. It's a free, immutable Linux system purpose-built to live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine, thereby shortcutting the need for installation, configuration, and maintenance. Its simple design makes it easy to learn, and its low memory footprint should make it especially attractive during these times of RAMageddon. If this has piqued your interest, do check it out, along with its easy-to-follow Getting Started guide. In any event, have a nice day! =)

hey guys. the other day i was migrating hosting providers and i just needed something not too heavy and convenient to spin up my backups for awhile and realised there is almost nothing out there. kimchi hasn't been updated for years and cockpit is heavy. so here's something i came up with in a couple hours because of a sudden urge, nothing fancy just basic creation with cloud init, lifecycle management and image/storage, but it's modern-ish and it compiles to a 8.4mb binary inclusive of the embedded web UI, CLI and API, and only dep is libvirt.

Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…

Hey HN! Coolify and Kamal were "nice" (Kamal docs are pretty bad, actually), but I still had to configure firewalls, unattended-upgrades, and Fail2ban every single time. Ciara does all of this from a single configuration file. Features: Integrated Firewall Automatic System Updates Zero-Config OS Ready Zero-Downtime Deployments Automatic HTTPS support Multiple Servers Deployments Would love your feedback and happy to answer any questions!

Hi HN, I made OSS Sustain Guard. After every high-profile OSS incident, I wonder about the packages I rely on right now. I can skim issues/PRs and activity on GitHub, but that doesn’t scale when you have tens or hundreds of dependencies. I built this to surface sustainability signals (maintainer redundancy, activity trends, funding links, etc.) and create awareness. It’s meant to start a respectful conversation, not to judge projects. These are signals, not truth; everything is inferred from public data (internal mirrors/private work won’t show up). Quick start: pip install…

Hi HN, I’m sharing the alpha release of S2C, a state machine replication system built atop S3. The goal is to enable a distributed application to maintain consistent state without needing a quorum of nodes for availability or consistency. The idea came from a side project that was using S3 and where I needed strongly consistent distributed state but wanted to avoid adding a separate consensus dependency. I initially tried to use S3 directly for coordination, but it became messy. Eventually, I realized I need a replicated state machine with a deterministic log, and then it ended up as a…

I've been a big fan of fly.io with it’s devx, but cold starts and pricing have been a consistent problem. Even for side projects it's painful if they take 30s to load, it just kills the whole experience. With coding agents becoming good, there were a lot more things I started building, and I just wanted to run all of those things! GCI was built to solve this. It’s just a CLI, just uses ssh to interact with your target machine, and relies on docker swarm to get your services running (docker swarm is IMO underrated, providing benefits even with a single node). It can deploy on any machine that…
