Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing. Docker Compose is indeed a nice method for fast deployment.

But like the difference between FTP and Dropbox

Our guide are designed to enable less-pro users to enjoy the benefits of selfhosting at home cloud.

A key advantage is fast deployment and flexible assemble of apps like Ollama and Perplexica.

In the meantime, compared to Docker Compose, Terminus provides a dedicated domain name for each application and service out-of-the-box. This enables users to access from anywhere via a browser. It will automatically handles all the complicated network configurations, DNS resoluton, and HTTPs certificate.

Actually, this 'out-of-the-box' thing makes it complicated for me. Don't get me wrong; I like it when things just work.

But when I already have a setup (e.g. traefik + multiple docker-compose environments), I do want to understand what your out-of-the-box setup is doing. Otherwise, I risk that it kills my existing setup.

So far I stopped, after I saw, that https://terminus.sh is just a script to download another installer.tar.gz

Thank you for your valuable feedback.

During the installation process, Terminus requires over 110+ images. Considering Docker Hub's rate limiting, the script initially prompts users to download all images locally.

The script executes the actual installation command at the end. The installation process generally follows these steps: 1. Install K8S/K3S 2. Import images sequentially 3. Install system applications using Helm 4. Wait for system startup, then user activation

We understand your concerns. As a new system without an established reputation, we recognize it's challenging for users to try it out.

We've added installation methods for Windows WSL and Raspberry Pi, allowing users to test in virtual machines or temporary environments without concerns about their exiting setups.

Over the next two months, we plan to develop a graphical installation tool to further simplify the process.

Thanks again for your input.

Looking forward to your Sandstorm.io successor, k8s is an interesting choice.

Thank you for your acknowledgment! We will certainly do our best.

I can do all of that with docker-compose and Cloudflare tunnels…
