    Dokku maintainer here. I’d love to hear more about what sorts of issues you were running against and seeing if we can’t improve the project. It would be nice if potential project users didn’t have a negative idea of the project due to outdated experiences or that they had a bad onboarding because of something unreported.

    I hope we didn't give the impression that Dokku isn't a great option. It's a fantastic project just that without a gui, it's not for me personally.

    Hey! I went back to my notes from when I tried it and it was downloading and installing Node on every deploy - couldn't figure out how to get it cache the node version. That was a few years ago - willing to give it a shot again if that has changed

    I have no beef with cli tools, use tons of them, but I don't want to run my projects hosting with one.

    @@syntaxfm Some projects are introducing UI to dokku, but at the point of now, those are REALLY alphaish thing, with a bunch of bugs.

    I've been looking for ways to do this. I have most of my work stuff running on azure container apps which is fine.....but sometimes I just want a simple way to run a container and put a reverse proxy in front of it on a vm. Because everyone for years decided having a server was bad. But turns out...servers are pretty good. At the end of the day while we were all avoiding the browser to do things that were better for ux....the browser caught up. Nothing will kill frontend frameworks. The browser will make them obsolete. But reactivity libraries are still useful when they are needed.

    Nobody uses Docker Swarn in prod nowadays 😅.... Compose for local dev and K8s for prod....try to use a managed service like AWS EKS/Azure AKS if possible

    Interesting to know. Although this ep is specifically about if you don’t want a managed service.
