I am curious why this name was chosen. Is there any connection between Isaiah and whales? Feels somewhat TempleOS-y.

You are more likely thinking of Jonah and the Whale.

#33For managing Docker installs another option could be portainer. Their community edition is open source https://docs.portainer.io/v/2.20/start/install-ce/server/doc...
Portainer is mentioned by the author in the README: “What spurred me to build Isaiah in the first place is a bunch of comments on the Reddit self-hosted community, stating that Portainer and other available solutions were too heavy or hard to use.”

Fun fact. In French it’s distinctly not a whale. But a very large fish

Alright! I'll copy-paste an explanation I gave prior on Reddit. I legit had no idea this would spark so many conversations hahaha. "I like to use a pen name generator, and use the generated name for my projects. It makes it easier for me to name things, rather than having to come up with new naming ideas for every new project. And also, I like the idea that every project has a person's name, as if, by using the proje…
To me names are important. I have to find a good name for a project or business before I start. Or at least good-enough. This is a great naming idea. I love it.

#36Curious why people feel the need for tools like this. I think git benefits massively from a graphical tool but I don't really see the point for docker, docker compose or even kubernetes. I do find CLI completions essential, though.

What a bizarre comment.

CLI is good and the best way to manage docker containers, however editing that compose file from a browser tab and hitting recreate slaps different. A web GUI makes it so that users who are otherwise intimidated by CLI can still make use of docker.

I haven't tried it yet, but if it cuts a step in my development process then yes please!

Check out k9s, if you use kubernetes. It made me 100x more efficient when working across multiple clusters and namespaces.
