libcosmic VS pakman

That said, a lot of the things we're working on are still in development within our development fork of iced, so they are not yet published for code review. And COSMIC-specific work is in libcosmic, which depends on that.

GUI frameworks: Iced and Slint can be used for making Cosmic apps. You can pull libcosmic into a project to get the COSMIC integration for Iced.

COSMIC will let users customize the desktop in the form of Applets. They wouldn’t work like the very-flexible custom scripting in GNOME though, because it could lead to instabilities when the system updates and collateral damage. Applets would be kind of what they are in Linux Mint: an extension attached to the dock or panel.

I've been a long time user of LXD, it's an amazing project. It basically served as an alternative to kubernetes / docker for me. Enabled me to launch projects and build companies without being bogged down by the complexity of kubernetes.

I've created a project called instellar https://instellar.app which uses LXD under the hood, it basically does continuous deployment pipeline and automatically manages your infrastructure.

Hope this change brings LXD forward.

I recently converted an entire React / TypeScript frontend to LiveView (will open-source the project soon). I've gone much faster with LiveView. Something which use to take me 4-5 weeks to build with React / TypeScript now takes 4-5 days.

The main reason for that is, the LiveView test framework is super simple to work with. I didn't write any tests when I was doing React / TypeScript just because it seemed so cumbersome to setup. Having a test suite that works out of the box made me write more tests for my front-end.

Not having to build API endpoints for my react components is also a huge accelerator in productivity.

In the end I ended up writing less code, with more polished / well tested front-end.

You can watch the video of what I built with LiveView here https://instellar.app

You can use https://instellar.app to deploy rails app. Currently works with digitalocean / hetzner / AWS with more support coming soon.

I've already solved this problem, you can get everything setup using https://instellar.app

I’m working on a platform that enables platform engineer to easily setup self-service platform for developers to deploy apps to. It’s called https://instellar.app

Thx! For networking, it's all handled by LXD, it supports fan networking out of the box. All PAKman does is build the package.

Once it's delivered the entire runtime is managed by LXD/LXC containers.

It's definitely possible to open up PAKman's support for other build environments. I mean at the end of the day it's just an alpine linux package. As long as you can use alpine's package manager it should work.

https://instellar.app can also serve as a repository for your package. This was an option we considered to enable earlier, but figured people might just want a fully integrated solution.

PAKman is one of the 4 core modules that power instellar.app. It's open-sourced and builds your application using github actions into alpine packages that get delivered to an S3 compatible bucket you specify via instellar. Our platform then takes that built package and deploys the application on your infrastructure.
