Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Weaveworks Is Shuting Down
Right. Flux was a handy little tool[1] that sync'd yaml manifests in git repos to live clusters. The concept was fascinating, and the tool was well done--small and efficient. Easy to learn.
In 2019, they announced they'd be "merging" with argocd[2]. It seems the merge never really took place, and after that they deprecated flux and announced flux2[3].
The sudden changes of course were a little confusing and perhaps not too well communicated.

FluxCD - question on configuration/setup in namespaces...
If you are looking at multiple instances of Flux on a cluster which is unmaintained, then most likely you are looking at Flux v1 which is the legacy version and users are all recommended to migrate to the new Flux v2 that has the feature of multiple git repositories and supporting to allow multiple syncs or even multiple tenants.

Automatic subchart updating?
Does a tool like this exist? I am aware of the argoCD image updater which is similar but not quite what I’m looking for, and am aware that flux has an old feature request for this https://github.com/fluxcd/flux/issues/2711

Automation assistants: GitOps tools in comparison
The blog post by Weaveworks, which coined the term GitOps in 2017, also names the first GitOps operator: Flux. In the meantime, this has been completely rewritten as Flux v2. In addition to Flux and Flux v2, the associated project "Flux" develops other components. Weaveworks has now handed the project over to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). By now, the project is in the second maturity level: incubator phase.

Open source Heroku Like Platform on premises
Looks really neat. We have a not-super-trivial rails app that I want to move to docker one day, but kinda scared to make the jump. We're already using docker for development, plus even have a home-grown docker-compose setup for ephemeral labs, but it's clunky at best.
This seems like something that might provide a simple jumping board hopefully... Also bumped into fluxCD[0] recently which also looks interesting.

Kubernetes State Checker
> It doesn't make all the other yaml files happen. It doesn't make the yaml files you no longer want happening, stop happening. It doesn't even tell you "these things were created by 'old' yaml files" and should be garbage collected (since it doesn't seem to have a sense of old yaml files).
This is definitely one piece of Kubernetes that is getting a lot of attention recently. The three tools I've been paying attention to are Argo CD[0], Flux[1], and Config Sync[2].
All of these allow you to point your repository to a cluster and sync resources from the repo to the cluster, including deletes.

Pico.sh – Hacker Labs
My script just sets up default .sops.yaml for https://github.com/getsops/sops
You can further edit .sops.yaml(eg have multiple of them) and decide how you split secrets in your directory tree to further customize who can decrypt the secrets.
It works pretty well for prod/dev splits, etc

Encrypting your secrets with Mozilla SOPS using two AWS KMS Keys
Mozilla SOPS (Secrets OPerationS) is an open-source command-line tool for managing and storing secrets. It uses secure encryption methods to encrypt secrets at rest and decrypt them at runtime. SOPS supports a variety of key management systems, including AWS KMS, GCP KMS, Azure Key Vault, and PGP. It's particularly useful in a DevOps context where sensitive data like API keys, passwords, or certificates need to be securely managed and seamlessly integrated into application workflows.

Tracking SQLite Database Changes in Git
We do the exact same thing to keep track of some credentials we use sops[1] and AWS KMS to separate credentials by sensitivity, then use the git differ to view the diffs between the encrypted secrets
Definitely not best practice security-wise, but it works well

Show HN: Shello – Wrangle Environment Variables
I've found this is largely solved by strictly separating plain config and secrets, and then having secrets pull from GCP secret manager / vault / whatever.
You can then commit all the config (including the secret identifiers) and it all just works so long as you're authenticated with your secret storage system.
We do this for the live configuration as well in line with Gitops and find it to work well.
If you don't want to use a cloud secret manager you can also use something like https://github.com/getsops/sops to commit the encrypted secrets safely

Check your secrets into Git [video]
Basically, the simpler the better --just encrypt your secrets and check them in to version control.
We use SOPS[0] for this, and have found it to be pretty nice.

How to secure secrets of docker-compose stacks with git?
The answer is that secrets shouldn't be stored in the git repo at all, but somewhere safe like a password manager or Mozilla's SOPS which people seem to love.

Is it safe to commit a Terraform file to GitHub?
Unfortunately, the SOPS project is in some sort of a limbo state and there has been quite a long period with limited maintenance and unclear position from Mozilla. Despite the project being accepted into the CNCF, it's still unclear what will happen with it going forward.
