Would you prefer this over Traefik for a simple docker-compose setup?
Abstraction at it's finest.
You saw the lament in my comment though and that speaks a deeper truth.
If WSL took off quick enough we could have had lxc as the main player rather than the bastardisation of lxc that is docker.com
For an open source project they make it incredibly hard to access what are essentially text files for containerisation setups on windows or mac?
The days of cheap money are over, it's inevitable that certain SaaS companies will start tightening the screws on their users to match the returns they can get with cash in a bank. I just wish lxc (which docker was built off) got a chance to gain traction. It's miles ahead in DX and sure they serve different functionalities but can be used the same and the network effects can't be understated.
Can you point to some examples of this?
LXC has profiles which can be mixed and matched for containers, it's got far more extensibility, compose files are a one-shot creation that gets copy/pasted/modified all over the place (we're all guilty of this), you need to read every single compose file and reboot unlike additively popping another profile on a linux container while it's running.
I'd really disagree that compose files are somehow one-shot, or blindly modified. To the contrary, really, we have them checked in with the source code. Upon deployment to the cluster, the (running) services will be intelligently updated or replaced (in a rolling manner, causing zero downtime). LXC might be more elegant, but I have no idea what simple, file-based format I could use to let engineers describe the environment their app should run in without compose.
I need something that even junior devs can start up with a single command, that can be placed in the VCS along with the code, and that will not require deep Linux knowledge to get running. Open for suggestions here, really.
Not trying to be salty or anything – I really think Compose hits the sweet spot of abstraction which is less complex than both the monstrosities I listed and the ad hoc Bash scripts copying code over SSH and restarting services approach (so, the other extremity of declarative v. imperative).
Shameless plug: I also make a Docker Swarm dashboard, check it out: https://lunni.dev/
Lunni? cool, thank you for sharing it, I'll give it a try
How to navigate the docs? in https://lunni.dev I only reach https://lunni.dev/docs/install/ while I see a lot of good docs https://gitlab.com/lunni/lunni.dev/-/tree/master/docs ...maybe not ready for the website?
Edit: custom CSS for the homepage breaks navigation on inner pages on desktop. Should be fine now. Thanks for pointing this out!
