How (if at all) does /dev/push fundamentally differ to Coolify? Or does it not, but it's just an alternative? (I saw the comment re: Streamlined UX, but is there anything else?)
Ultimately, I built this because I wanted the Vercel experience for Python apps.
PS: it's built with FastAPI and HTMX (and Basecoat [1] which I created for this project).
I get the appeal, but am also horrified at the “let’s pipe scripts to bash with sudo,” and the lack of visibility into what the DB is doing. I am a huge proponent of running your own, but along with that comes a responsibility to know what you’re doing. If you don’t know how to harden a Linux box on your own, frankly you have no business hosting anything on it. Spin up a VM and learn from your mistakes first. Similar…
I mean for DB I run a prod mariadb on hetzner and it is arguably easier to install and setup than say things most devs use, say vscode. Had to tune a couple of things (number of allowed connections for a user) but lots of good docs out there to help.

The main difference is that you're just deploying apps, not containers (although I do plan on adding support for custom Docker images).

I have a draft ARCHITECTURE.md file in the repo: https://github.com/hunvreus/devpush/blob/main/ARCHITECTURE.m... I'm also working on adding manual steps so that folks who prefer to deploy the app themselves can do so. I initially had the app deployed with Terraform + Ansible, but rewrote it as a bash script as I thought it'd be lower friction.
Thanks for this. I want to clarify something: the “you” in my post was directed at users of a product like this, not you, the creator. Re: lower friction, you’re probably correct, though that also brings with it concerns like those that I posted. While installing Terraform and Ansible isn’t difficult, it might keep people away who have no interest in any form of systems administration, and so we come full circle agai…
And this is definitely more targeted at programmers who just want to deploy their app and may have limited interest in DevOps/sysadmin/servers.
I like it but I always miss features or defaults like: - internal network only with edge nodes (i.e tail scale out the box, + some edge nodes) - option to deploy on multiple servers to scale with super simple non k8s approach.
Can you help me understand that?

I'm working on that, allowing you to manage remote nodes from a single /dev/push instance.
Vercel alternatives are getting traction and relevance after Vercel and CEO controversies like last weeks https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45416353
Vercel is like other big corporations that places like HN and Reddit like to hate, most C suites signing off consulting contracts and partner deals couldn't care less. As such there are plenty of deployments, where the only deployment option is between Vercel, Netlify and co, usually Vercel ends up winning on the portfolio and partner deals. You don't see geeks selling their Apple gear in droves, despite the deals th…

I struggle to grasp what it does. What's Vercel and what that does? Someone here in the comments mentioned coolify.io and Dokploy as more alternatives. None of those projects have a good description of what they do. They just "ship anything to anywhere". That's too broad, I need details, I need a short explanation of their basic mechanisms. Tiresome!
