Since they upped the cost of their small tier, I moved to Digital Ocean and installed Dokku, which gives me that Heroku-like deployment experience so managing my (admittedly very small) website isn't that much of a hassle.
I find them much better than walls of text.
is there ANY way i can spin up a server, add the ssh keys to some configuration file somewhere and just "docker-magic push" and have my rails application running ?
or do "docker-magic bundle exec db:migrate" and have that command run on the server.
Or push a Procfile with worker definitions and have the PAAS automatically pick it up, add it to supervisord/systemd and run it ?
That's why we started https://baasil.io/ . The idea is you can deploy any app to any infrastructure of your choice (inside Docker containers). This means that you are not locked into Heroku and it gives you much more flexibility. It's basically a hosted Rancher http://rancher.com/ service with a focus on a specific stack. I think in the future, there will be a lot of services like Baasil.io (specializing in various s…
But all you've done is shift the problem to, er, you. If someone is uncomfortable taking out a dependency on say Azure or AWS - the two leading Docker hosting platforms, then they sure as hell aren't going to take out a dependency on "baasil.io" are they?
Also Baasil.io is essentially just a control panel/dashboard (Rancher-as-a-service), you can quit Baasil.io at any time and switch to your own hosted Rancher instance and you don't have to change any of your application code or change infrastructure providers.
The main benefit of Baasil.io is that it was built by an open source community using open source software and so we can offer the best possible support for apps built on top of our own open source stacks.

heroku is dead, docker is awesome, gluten free food does not have gluten ;-)
I'm sure I don't get that message.
As usual, if a joke needs to be explained (to a person) then it's not funny (to them). I found this amusing since it aligned with my experiences:

> -No, he works at CoreOS. Anyway, Diego built Raft for his PhD thesis cause Paxos was too hard. Wicked smart dude. And then he wrote etcd as an implementation, and Aphyr said it wasn’t shit.
> What’s Aphyr?
> -Aphyr is that guy who wrote, ‘Call Me Maybe.’ You know, the distributed systems and BDSM guy?
> What? Did you say BDSM?
There are several jokes here based on cultural references related to the aforementioned topics.
Sometimes it seems the webdev world is unaware of the complexity its creating simply to execute instructions....
