I would love access! just tried to deploy and it threw me a docker authorization error.

You can always login with your github account for now: https://alpha.windmill.dev

I am not doing anything fancy for building the dockerfile: https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill/blob/main/.github/...

Running the docker on the other hand require to pass a few env variables, among them the connection info to a PG instance. It also require to setup an user by editing directly the database and hashing by hand your password which is super inconvenient. I am working right now on making the process easier, did not expect self-host users so early.

If your stuff is marketed as OSS and you get on HN, the first question would definitely be “where’s the docker file/image”.

At least, that’s always my first reaction when seeing something cool like this.

You are right, I will prepare a public docker image and some clear instructions. Things went a bit fast today, I initially planned to do such launch in a few weeks.
