Can anyone using this give us a report on the developer experience? Even simple quality of life stuff is useful like how easy is it to see logs for running containers, how fast are the deploys, etc. Thanks!

I can't give a full report, I strongly suggest that your try. But we are currently evaluating nanobox to see if we made the move from a another provider and for now it is very satisfying. Really easy to use and setup, very nice dashboard for monitoring your apps . Logs are present and easy to access but generally we prefer to use alternate/external solutions for log tracking (not related to nanobox) but it gives a good start if you can't externalize them. Deployment are as fast as other providers we tested. Deployments run on both local and server side, I will need more deployment to give a complete speed feedback. Scaling has never been easier. Honestly I really like the product and the team behind is very present on their slack channel to get you up and ready. So far so good.

Sounds very promising, I will give it a try. Thanks!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's the highest requested feature! Should be available in Q1 of 2018.

Add my vote for this one. I'm running a dokku server right now for this reason but would rather not.

There's a full roadmap at https://trello.com/b/4zbckEIY/nanobox-roadmap and users' votes are the main factor for deciding what gets done in what order.

I haven't heard of this before, but it looks like it's similar to Docker compose or maybe a layer on top? And insight or comparison as to why you would use this over other tools.

It’s a layer on top. I think it simplifies deployment to various services that may or may not support Docker so well.

It's more an alternative to Docker Compose, though it does sit on top of Docker itself...

renew your cert! [edit to point out the irony in "Nanobox essentially becomes your DevOps team"]

Cert was renewed, but apparently there was a bug in how the system chose which cert to use? Not certain how it had access to the old one, still, though.

Fixed, now, either way.
