The missing manual to Kamal deployment tool by Josef Strzibny
Kamal Handbook is the missing manual for the new Kamal deploy tool which lets you run Docker in production with minimal effort. ❝ I can't recommend Kamal Handbook enough! I had so many unanswered questions after reading the Kamal documentation, and the handbook pretty much answered them all. Great book, great code examples and great explanation of every aspect of Kamal . ❝ This is my first book from Josef after reading a lot of his posts on Twitter (X). I really like the writing and the level of detail of how kamal works . Also taking a little more than 'just deploying' into account is extraordinary. Great work! ❝ As a developer who recently migrated from Heroku, I found the Kamal Handbook…from kamalmanual.com

I wrote a book on Kamal, deployment tool that's coming to Rails 82024 · kamalmanual.com · ▲13Hi fellow readers of HN, Josef here again[0] with another book :). This time about Kamal. = Background When 37signals released their new deployment tool Kamal[1], I was intrigued since it fits well with my 'keep it simple' deployment philosophy. I slowly adopted the tool and today I deploy all new projects with Kamal. However, I have seen people giving it a go and giving up, because the initial documentation was not enough.

I wrote a modern Command Line Handbook2025 · commandline.stribny.name · ▲454TLDR: I wrote a handbook for the Linux command line. 120 pages in PDF. Updated for 2025. Pay what you want. A few years back I wrote an ebook about the Linux command line. Instead of focusing on a specific shell, paraphrasing manual pages, or providing long repetitive explanations, the idea was to create a modern guide that would help readers to understand the command line in the practical sense, cover the most common things people use the command line for, and do so without wasting the readers' time. The book contains material on terminals, shells (compatible with both Bash and Zsh),…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…
