configu VS orbstack

As we celebrate Hacktoberfest, we at Configu invite you to be part of our mission to redefine software configuration management. We've set out to tackle the persistent challenge of configuration chaos, and we're making strides every day. If you're searching for a place to make a significant impact this Hacktoberfest, consider Configu. Delve into our open-source repository, understand our vision, and contribute to shaping our journey. If you're unsure where to begin or need some help along the way, our Configu Discord community is always here to guide you. For newcomers, we recommend starting with issues labeled 'good-first-issues'.

Enter Configu, an open source implementation of the concept of Configuration-as-Code, ensuring that the code remains the source of truth. But we didn't stop there. We've just launched a new feature called configu find that takes configuration management to the next level.

Thanks Geva for sharing my article.

In this piece, I delve into the world of application configuration, discussing the drawbacks of using environment variables stored in env files and introducing the powerful alternative - Configuration as Code (CaC).

Looking forward to your thoughts! and If you're intrigued, I invite you to explore our open-source project on GitHub: https://github.com/configu/configu

For a brief moment, I thought this was related to https://orbstack.dev

If you use a Mac and just want to mess around with linux try something like Orbstack(https://orbstack.dev/) to start up VMs and mess around. The benefit of this is you're going to break things a bunch as you get started. Going from there I'd start looking automating the deployment of the various components the 'old fashioned' way aka writing shell scripts/using SSH. Once you do that then go to using things like Ansible or Terraform etc.

FerretDB provides a Docker image allowing us to run it locally, for example via Orbstack, with a couple of simple commands.

OrbStack | Founding Engineer | US/Europe REMOTE | Full-time | https://orbstack.dev

OrbStack is making Docker containers & development environments delightful. Our app replaces Docker Desktop and makes containers faster, lighter, and easier to work with. It's the tool of choice for PlanetScale, Replicate, and other hot companies.

Containers should be a joy to use, not something you have to put up with. Let's build the future of dev envs.

As a founding engineer, you'll mainly work on breaking high-level ideas down into tough systems problems, solving them, and taking ownership of projects. If https://cpu.land and https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture excite you, you'll be right in place.

Before you give up, give OrbStack a try: https://orbstack.dev/

It’s significantly faster than Docker and some users in the Discord community have been able to use it to run hand-built Linux x86 VMs on Apple Silicon.

It’s a paid product though, but you can download it for free and try it out before paying.

If you haven't installed a Docker runtime, you might be happy with Orbstack. Other alternatives: DDEV docs: Docker installation.

For MacOS I can really recommend https://orbstack.dev

It integrates very nicely, has very low CPU idle usage and also lets you quickly spawn VMs with bidirectional file sharing set up.

Since I switched I haven't looked back.
