discourse_docker VS pipedream

Did you try to run it in a container?

I miss Systemd inside Docker containers so much. IMO, for an app, "one-process per container" is a huge pain and very messy. I have a massively popular software to back up that claim: https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker

I use phusion/baseimage-docker[1] right now, love every bit of it. Having the database, web server(nginx) and the java backend all in one place works beautifully.

The only pain point is having to write `runit` scripts for startup and shutdown for each service, hence the wish for Systemd inside containers.

Discourse provides an open-source community forum. All Discourse posts are indexed by Google, which helps existing users find answers to common questions, and attracts new users through search. We self-host our Discourse forum at https://pipedream.com/community as a Docker container using the discourse-docker project.

End users love PHP because you copy the files into a folder.

That's certainly how people deployed web apps built by other people a decade ago, but these days isn't it more common to use something like Docker?

Deploying a containerized app should be pretty much the same no matter what language it's written in. And Discourse does have a Docker container (https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker), so I'm not sure the underlying language explains why it isn't popular.

No I don’t think so. You probably want n8n if you’re keen on self-hosting.

Not sure if IFTTT has a plugin but I suspect not, I've currently got a Pipedream feature request that they are now adding it to their platform (it's not ready yet) but you'll still need to request the API access yourself. Pipedream: Google My Business Feature Request (I am NebularNerd)

We noticed that too and thought scripts could be the universal layer for integrations, so we built a hub for it https://hub.windmill.dev

Pipedream (which is probably Automatisch main competitor) also has a repo full of integrations: https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream. Their format is a bit more specific than Windmill.

Hopefully, we all agree on a format and differentiate ourselves on the quality of the orchestration, flow capabilities, performance etc ...

Hey, try opening one of: - https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream - https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-flutter

Yup it's something that's been on the backlog for a bit and we're trying to solve for.

Here's the issue if you'd like to follow: https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/issues/193

It is possible to make a custom source for ForwardEmail, and then emit 1 action per row, but that requires writing code outside of the GUI.

Definitely hear you on this pain and we're working on it.

But you can run custom Node.js code anywhere you need it, extending any of the built-in actions or adding your own. This is where Pipedream shines. You can quickly transition from a no-code workflow to a Node.js serverless function as you need more complex logic.
