Dockerless, Elixir Web Application Using Podman and Plug

In plain words

Dockerless is an Elixir web application that demonstrates building and running a web service using Podman instead of Docker. It uses Plug, a specification for composable modules in Elixir applications, to handle HTTP requests. The project is designed for developers interested in Elixir web development who want to explore Podman as an alternative containerization tool. It provides a practical example of setting up and deploying web applications without relying on Docker.

Also we'll be using the Plug module to keep things simple. This module is at the heart of popular Elixir web frameworks such as Phoenix . Plug lives at the heart of Phoenix's HTTP layer, and Phoenix puts Plug front and center. First, we need Podman so head on over to the official instllation instructions and then come back. Next we need an image that we can install Elixir on.. I'll use Alpine Linux. podman search alpine --filter is-official Go ahead and pull it: podman image pull docker.io/library/alpine You'll need to know a few vim commands to use visudo. If you really don't know then search up a quick tutorial. Hey you might end up liking vim. Edit mix.ex vi mix.ex # and make sure deps…from spacedimp.com

  I've built a nice home server OSApr 2026 · lightwhale.asklandd.dk · ▲194

  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! =)

  Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years▲1,943

  Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
