Very cool! From what I can see you're allowing users to provision servers on Hetzner and then run their docker containers?

I built a similar in-house project like this for a client. I used the Go docker SDK and had quite a few edge cases to solve! Very curious to see if you had a similar experience.

Congratulations on launching!

Thank you! Yea we also heavily rely on the Go Docker SDK, also had a fair share of weird Docker edge cases to solve. I've spent more time in the Docker source code to debug stuff than I'd like to admit.

Yeah tell me about it. At one point I was very tempted to just reach out to bash and running docker cli as a subprocess :/ Especially getting the output of a running container proved nontrivial at the time.

BTW, this is also kinda how Sliplane started. We both are coming from a freelancing background and had built similar things for clients before

That's the best kind of start, you know it's a useful thing when you've build similar things before when freelancing.

I'm currently building a similar service but for 'serverless functions' (hate that terminology to be honest), so not long running containers but one off tasks. Similar to AWS Lambda and the likes.

Thats cool! Id like to check that out if you want to share! jonas@sliplane.io or you can find me on Twitter/X (JonasScholz19) :)
