Neat project, but what does this do differently than docker compose with the --host flag? https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/#host It uploads your whole local docker context, source code and all, builds the image on the remote server and up's the container(s) all with a single command. I use this all the time when deploying simple services to avoid all of the complexity of registries etc. docker -H ssh://re…

Probably pretty similar except you get to just write "pooshit" instead.

I don't really understand the use case and wonder if containers are the right tool here at all.

Here is my main use case. I have lightweight services that I need to update and deploy regularly (until I movee to K8s or a proper production env). Using pooshit, I can push my entire local dev folder to a remote server then destroy the old image, rebuild the new image and spin up a new container with one call. Your config file contains your remote config. You need nothing in between you and your remote server and it only relies on SSH and docker, nothing else, no middleman, repos, and no deployment containers running on your VM.

Useful project. Name that no reasonable company would allow IT department to use. 10 out of 10! It worked for CockroachDB. I hope it turns into a unicorn and I'm not joking about that.

I have never worked at or heard of a company caring about the names of software, at most it's been a bit of a chuckle. Best guess is being concerned about software names is a super conservative culture thing.

Perhaps not directly in a review.

Names can be troublesome though, badly named products get caught in spam filters, or blocked in some firewall blacklist.
