byrnedo··on Ask HN: Is Kubernetes still a big no-no for early stages in 2025?
You could use https://github.com/skateco/skate and graduate to k8s later.

Disclosure: I’m the author of skate

byrnedo··on Show HN: Unregistry – “docker push” directly to servers without a registry
Skate author here: please try it out! I haven’t gotten round to diving deep into uncloud yet, but I think maybe the two projects differ in that skate has no control plane; the cli is the control plane.

I built skate out of that exact desire to have a dokku like experience that was multi host and used a standard deployment configuration syntax ( k8s manifests ).

https://skateco.github.io/docs/getting-started/

byrnedo··on Ask HN: What's the best way to deploy container-based apps for a small project?
If you want, give skate a try ( https://github.com/skateco/skate ). I built it out of the frustration of having to learn the custom deploy syntax of all these other alternatives, instead it uses kubernetes manifests and is multi host.
byrnedo··on Replacing Kubernetes with systemd (2024)
Please try https://github.com/skateco/skate, this is pretty much the exact same reason why I built it!
byrnedo··on Replacing Kubernetes with systemd (2024)
Uncloud looks awesome and seems to have a great feature set!! Nice work!
byrnedo··on Replacing Kubernetes with systemd (2024)
Wouldn’t argue with you abut the k8s ux. Since it has all the ground concepts ( service, cronjob etc ) it required less effort than rolling yet another syntax.
byrnedo··on Replacing Kubernetes with systemd (2024)
I created skate (https://github.com/skateco/skate) to be basically this but multihost and support k8s manifests. Under the hood it’s podman and systemd
byrnedo··on Decoding JSON sum types in Go without panicking
Pulled my hair out about doing this all over the place when integrating with a node api, ended up writing https://github.com/byrnedo/pjson. Feels like this should be covered as a more first class thing in go.
byrnedo··on Show HN: Lume – OS lightweight CLI for MacOS and Linux VMs on Apple Silicon
I’d check out multipass from canonical. IIRC you can specify the image it uses.
byrnedo··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
I've been working on Skate (https://github.com/skateco/skate), a lean multi-host container platform, primarily for my own needs. Its been a great way to learn more Rust (I'm a gopher by day) and I've learned some interesting technologies and concepts.
byrnedo··on Show HN: Skate, daemonless mini PAAS that can deploy K8s manifests
I'm a big fan of simple paas setups like Dokku, but I'm tired of learning yet another configuration syntax or ceremony when I'm perfectly happy building on kubernetes. But god do I not want to self host it. Not even k3s. I just want to be able to deploy things across a small cluster.

Currently supported resources: - Deployments - Daemonsets - Cronjobs - Services - Ingress - Secrets

Skate comes with letsencrypt powered TLS automatically when using ingress.

It leverages podman, openresty, ipvs and coredns.

It's very far from feature-complete, but is definitely at the point of being useful.

byrnedo··on Show HN: Clace – Application Server with support for scaling down to zero
I just remembered that a big reason I did this was because podman supports controlling pods directly via subset of some k8s resources manifests (podman kube play). Squatting, as you put it, on the same version.

https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-kube-play.1...

I suppose I could tighten things up at my end anyway though.

byrnedo··on Show HN: Clace – Application Server with support for scaling down to zero
You mean so the user can see themselves what will be applied?
byrnedo··on Show HN: Clace – Application Server with support for scaling down to zero
Yeah, you're right, I'd need to at least have some kind of table of supported attributes, or even mint my own schema with the subset that's valid for skate.
byrnedo··on Show HN: Clace – Application Server with support for scaling down to zero
Check out https://github.com/skateco/skate

I'm building it for exactly that reason. Multihost and supports k8s manifests.

byrnedo··on Dokku: My favorite personal serverless platform
Striking while the iron is hot: I love dokku and I've used it for many years. That said, I thought I'd do something similar but with the goal of supporting k8s manifests

https://github.com/skateco/skate

It's daemonless, multi-host with multi-host networking, service discovery and like I said, allows you to create deployments, cronjobs, and route traffic via ingress resources.

Comes with letsencrypt out of the box.

Because we can!
byrnedo··on Women like working with people, men like working with things, all over the world
I hope people don't jump to the conclusion that they like what they like because of their gender. It could be equally attributed to what they're working with. As in, you like what you know. I've never worked in a people heavy environment, so I couldn't say I like working in one.

If you mean that by choosing one city in the US vrs the whole country's rate then you're right.

But my point was that Sweden is incomparable to the USA (Sweden has a population approaching 10 million). You'd find it very hard to find a city in the Nordics approaching that of some in the US.

Well, considering the Malmo rate is 3.4, it's still quite a factor reduced from that. Malmo might be considered the most 'dangerous' city in Sweden (please correct me if anyone disagrees? I guess Stockholm is probably statistically a better choice due to the sheer size difference).
