    `docker-compose` is different from `docker compose` (with a space in between words).

    The former will be replaced by the latter in the long run.

    One of the goal of this new version is to be able to plug different backends like AWS ECS or Microsoft ACI. See https://github.com/docker/compose-cli. So you can docker compose and your stack is deployed on ECS instead of your local machine.

  • Pyinfra: Automate Infrastructure Using Python
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Apr 2024
    I just started using Pyinfra to wrangle a bunch of servers and it is a breath of fresh air compared to Ansible. I moved all of my server OS installs to Fedora CoreOS which doesn't ship with Python in the OS and since Pyinfra doesn't need Python on the host node I can kick off tasks in bulk to do server things. It is great. I cannot wait to see where the Pyinfra project goes.

    On a side note, one of the most hacky things I came up with to get Ansible working on Fedora CoreOS was to bind mount a container rootfs that had python 3 and then symlink it into the right spots. You can of course add Python in with rpm-ostree if you want but I wanted to avoid layering packages at the time. I wasn't proud of it. But it worked.

  • Deploying Forem on Render.com PromptZone.com
    3 projects | dev.to | 30 Apr 2024
    This is not the suggested way of deployment by the forem team, nevertheless I found it easier and smother than using the deployment selfhost, however I think it's good to know different approaches and use the one suits you the most, if you don't have time to manage a server I think using a pass like Render does the job, and it's cheaper then Heroku at the time of this post.

  • Docker is dead? Podman – an alternative tool?
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Jun 2022
    I only use Podman for my workloads these days. Docker was always a headache for me on Linux. Podman allows me to quickly do whatever I want with containers and I can use systemd or a simple bash script to easily create services on my workstation or in production with Nomad with https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-driver-podman

    I am super thankful for the team of developers that work on Podman. It has really come a long way since 2.0 and they are very responsive to issues in my experiences. If you are using Linux as your daily driver and you use Containers give Podman a try. Here are some examples of the things I have done with Podman.
