The Case for Open Infrastructure

  mailcow: dockerized - 🐮 + 🐋 = 💕

  

Just give me a dockercompose.yml. That’s all I need.

A positive example for this is mailcow [1]: all you need to do is pulling the repo, editing the mailcow.conf and running “docker compose up”. Logging is preconfigured, and the watchdog just works.

It’s dead simple and provides secure defaults. It’s ready for production in very little time. That’s what I would love to see from more projects.

I hope supabase will follow this at some point. I really like the idea of a self hosted firebase. But right now there is too much to take care of for a single person to actually take a self hosted supabase into prod (be it for side projects or whatever).

> The source code for Keybase is, right now, fully open source on their Github

Really? My understanding was that the client and some libraries they use are open source, but the actual server code is closed source. Although if Zoom isn't going to continue maintaining keybase, then open sourcing the server code seems like "the right thing to do" (at least morally, and probably from a PR standpoint as well). Even if they did want to continue maintaining it, it would be a good thing in my opinion, but moreso if the project will die otherwise.
