    Discontinued Argus is a lightweight monitor to notify of new software releases via Gotify/Slack messages and/or WebHooks. [Moved to: https://github.com/release-argus/Argus]

    If you're interested, you can find this tool (as well as a web demo) at: https://hymenaios.io (naming inspired by Prometheus, I just found a god with an io domain available)

  • watchtower

    A process for automating Docker container base image updates.

    Docker: Watchtower.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • kbld

    kbld seamlessly incorporates image building and image pushing into your development and deployment workflows

    From purely a container standpoint, for my home Kubernetes cluster, I use ArgoCD for deployment and wrote a little plugin to pipe the final manifests (generated through helm, kustomize, static files, whatever) through kbld. kbld replaces the image tag with the digest sha, which means ArgoCD sees it as a change to the manifest, and with auto-sync turned on deploys the latest image automatically. I've had my Argo applications configured this way for over a year with basically no issues.

  • deploy-rs

    A simple multi-profile Nix-flake deploy tool.

    The SSH key I made for this uses yubikey authentication, and every time this opens a SSH connection it will ask for the key. There's some options you can add so multiple SSH sessions can use a single connection, but the current version isn't really working well with them (see e.g. https://github.com/serokell/deploy-rs/issues/106)
