24 alternatives to YAML Validator –A simple Docker-based YAML checker
Hi HN, I made a tiny tool called YAML Validator that checks your YAML files with one Docker command — no installs, no setup, no excuses. It does: - Syntax checks - yamllint linting - checkov security scanning - All in one lightweight, zero-config container --------------------------------------------------------- How to use: docker run -v "$(pwd):/data" pooyanazad/yaml-checker Optional alias (for .bashrc / .zshrc): alias ytest='docker run -v "$(pwd):/data" pooyanazad/yaml-checker' Then simply call: ytest sample.yaml YAML powers CI/CD, configs, infra ,and…

Hi HN! I’m excited to share Holos, a Go command line tool we wrote to fill the configuration management gap in Kubernetes. Holos uses CUE to configure software distributed with Helm and Kustomize using a well defined, type safe language eliminating the need to template YAML. You probably know (or are) someone who has suffered with the complexity of plain text YAML templates and merging multiple values.yaml files together to configure software running in Kubernetes. We built Holos so we don’t have to template YAML but we can still integrate software distributed with Helm and Kustomize…

I found it odd there wasn’t a simple web tool to scan Docker Hub images for vulnerabilities. So I built one. It’s powered by the popular open-source tool Trivy.

Hey HN, I'm Brandon, a solo dev, and I built KubeForge - a visual editor for Kubernetes deployments that helps you build and validate YAML configs. Origin Story: Over the past couple weeks, I got fed up manually writing Kubernetes YAMLs, especially when working with nested structures like containers, env, and volumeMounts. Even small typos or misaligned fields added lost time to broken deploys. So I started hacking together a tool to visualize the structure of Kubernetes objects based on the OpenAPI schema. That prototype quickly turned into a full manifest builder. What KubeForge does: -…

I got tired of libvirt XML and Vagrant's Ruby/reload dance for single-host VM stacks, so I built a compose-style runtime directly on QEMU/KVM. What's there: GPU passthrough as a first-class primitive (VFIO, OVMF, per-instance EFI vars), healthchecks that gate depends_on over SSH, socket-multicast L2 between VMs with no root and no bridge config, cloud-init wired through the YAML, Dockerfile support for provisioning. What it's not: Kubernetes. No clustering, no live migration, no control plane. Single host. Prototype, but I'm running it on real hardware. Curious what breaks for…

We're excited to announce Lowdefy V4, a full-stack web framework built on top of Next.js that simplifies building web applications, internal tools, admin panels, BI dashboards, and CRUD apps using YAML or JSON configuration files. New in V4: Next.js: Lowdefy now runs on top of the Next.js framework. All of Auth.js: App auth is now handled by Auth.js supported providers, adapters and callbacks and events, easy to configure, but all of which can be customized. Plugin extensibility: Apps can now be extended with any npm or pnpm workspace plugins. Our story: We have developed a simple…

What if Dependabot and Ansible had a child? Well for me that could be Updatecli. Updatecli is a project that I started to help maintain the infrastructure of the Jenkins project. I needed something flexible enough to update YAML with whatever information needed. Because let’s say it, everybody loves YAML. YAML is everywhere. Run it from everywhere… Updatecli is a command-line tool written in Golang and available for Windows, Linux, MacOSx, amd64, arm64, thank you Goreleaser All of that to say that it runs from wherever CI or laptop we need. As of today, Updatecli opened over 3000 Pull…

Why? - Decouple application deployment from releases How it works: - Make changes to your features and segments (YAMLs) via Pull Requests - Generate datafile (JSON file) in CI/CD workflow and upload to your CDN - Fetch datafile in your application runtime and consume with SDKs Supports: - Feature flags: boolean flags - Experimentation: a/b tests - Segments: targeting traffic with conditions - Variables: namespaced under each feature and conditional - Gradual rollouts: avoid big bang releases, go from 0% to 100% - Consistent bucketing: same user sees same variation - Multiple…

Hi, this is a Python framework I have created to make my life a little easier when creating custom linting rules. Key features: - Quick to use (~20 LOC to create a functioning linter/checker) - Works with different file formats (as in the description) - Supports multiple ignore/noqa directives (per-line ignores, range ignores, whole file, rules choice during runs) - Single check can span all elements of the file or even all files - Works directly with Python's AST - Tutorials and API reference to make users life easier All in all seems to be quite functional for my private (yet)…

Hi HN I built YAML Studio, a visual editor that helps you design complex OpenAPI specs without hand-writing YAML or dealing with $ref headaches. It's a drag-and-drop, form-based tool that generates clean OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 YAML — useful for devs, PMs, and tech writers who want to collaborate on API design without needing deep spec knowledge. Why I built this: I’ve spent countless hours manually writing and debugging OpenAPI files — breaking things with a bad indent or misused $ref. Existing tools like Swagger Editor are great, but still very code-centric. I wanted something more intuitive,…
