Docker rollout – Zero Downtime Deployment for Docker-compose
docker-compose is great for single node docker deployments, but it doesn't have a feature that would allow zero downtime deployments. It's not possible to deploy often if your app goes down every time, and using Kubernetes/Nomad/Swarm on a single node is an overkill. I created this Docker plugin to be a drop-in replacement for the restart command in usual docker-compose deployment scripts. It performs a simple rolling deployment of a single service.

In plain words
Docker rollout is a Docker plugin that enables zero-downtime deployments for docker-compose applications on single-node setups. It replaces the standard restart command in deployment scripts by performing rolling updates of services, allowing frequent deployments without application downtime. The tool targets developers who need reliable deployment workflows without the complexity of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes or Swarm.

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
