#2very interesting... here is a comparison of the community and enterprise offering
who is actually behind this?

#3First coolify[1] and now Tau. More competition the better for users.
From the quick look it seems like coolify is more fully featured?

#4There are some neat ideas here -- building a PAAS off of p2p technologies to enable network autodiscovery, automated load-balancing, distributed storage, Webassembly-native, etc.
Having put stuff through production though, I'm a bit skeptical about how well it works out in the wild, though I am interested in learning how well it does and what its failure modes are. If it works well-enough, it has the potential for democratizing production apps.
I'm not sure how they are going to make money with their enterprise offering though.

#5Would this be a good combo to combine with Hetzner server auctions, or just too much trouble ?
or even with todays connections having a server at home ?
any success stories ?

Coolify needs a lot of work imho.

Before Coolify came CapRover and dokku.
My toy server (64ram, ryzen 5600G 60tb HDD, 4tb NVMe) is currently running fedora/caprover, though I've been considering just putting truenas scale on it, as it added custom deployments as well...

#9What's with the vilification of kubernetes? 99% of this document (https://tau.how/99-Misc/kubernetes/01-k8s-cons/) boils down to "You have to understand what a pod, deployment, container, etc is" once you remove every line that discusses the cons of managing a cluster yourself, because nobody actually does that except extremely large orgs. All of these problems go away when you utilize a managed offering like DOKS, EKS, AKS or GKE.

If your goal is to self-host your own PaaS, why would you use a managed k8s offering?
