This is timely for me as well as I just open sourced (yesterday!) a project that is in the same space, but for Kubernetes (https://github.com/pier-oliviert/sequencer).
All of this to say, congrats! It looks great.
If you set up a server, you can create a git repo by just doing `git init --bare`, add the setting `git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead`.
After that you can use git hooks (more specifically push-to-checkout hook), to receive uploads, compile and launch. The hook will just be a simple shell script, the most basic version could be a variant of `compile && install && systemctl restart service`.
From there you'll be able to copy the repo locally and pushing your changes will now trigger the hook you've setup.
git clone root@yourserver.com:/path/to/git/folder
Why would I want to use Piku? Would it give me some benefits I currently don't have?
Spinning up a server and installing a repo on it is easy. Depends on your use case and on what you know/have.
I prefer ansible or jenkins+scp-build-to-server+run-deploy.script
I added it to my tools list in case i need sth quick'n working for a small team/to recommend when there's no ansible/sysadmin knowledge available.
(I haven't looked into piku but i guess you'll hit its limitation once you have more complex deployment schemes, privilege/access management, ...)
