This looks great. Definitely a few idioms I will have to explore further. I can use Docker in a basic sense, but it is amazing to me how much black arts still exists for what has become a cornerstone of modern deployment. Lots of conflicting/dated advice about best practices. Unsure which advice is still required/applies to podman, etc.

> but it is amazing to me how much black arts still exists for what has become a cornerstone of modern deployment. What?! Unless you are using complicated networking, docker is simple. Dockerfiles are essentially just annoying-syntax shell scripts. We have plenty of black arts in computing. Docker isn't one of them.

'black art' maybe not, overcomplicated mess? Yes!

I've tried to use the docker compose command to limit the maximum number of CPUs used, I failed, even though it's possible: the support team managed to do it, but why did I fail? Because the doc and the design aren't great..

I think I’ve asked this question before but I really don’t understand why there is no managed docker compose hosting solution. I think Swarm did that, but I believe they stopped? Every project I worked on used compose locally, but had to transpose to some k8s/nomad setup in production. I’d love to just run ‘docker compose deploy’ or publish or whatever and it just gets deployed to the cloud + load balancing and autoscaling. What am I missing?

These are excellent, thank you. I maintain similar Django and Flask + compose stacks on behalf of the startup studio I work for so it’s fun to compare notes. For our Django stack, for instance, we have also settled on Postgres, on celery+redis, and on whitenoise. black/flake8/isort also seem universally agreeable. We also throw in pyright and generally make extensive use of type hints. For the front-end, we’re curren…

Offtopic, but I've googled Tailwind because of this comment. This seems absolutely crazy to me, in the worst sense imaginable. So, there was (and still is) "style" attribute in HTML. It leads to lots of repetition and yadda yadda, so people started using classes instead to write their CSS. There are dozens of schools of "best practices", or meta-frameworks, or actual frameworks to make it all more manageable, but now…

Classes are not perfect, they introduce relative meaning (or meaninglesness) and in prototyping its often a huge waste of time.

Other than that I agree.

no offense, but man, the amount of tooling you guys are using sounds to me insane. How is a person able to oversee and understand everything. The older i get the more i feel distantiated and disconnected to these modern practices. I am afraid that if I ever have to find a new workspace i wont be able to succeed because of this.

I think it was a subtle trend of making everything in tiny blocks while javascript / html5 evolving a lot, it created a jungle. But deno/bun/esbuild minded tools are more integrated, faster and leaner it seems (hot reload, typechecking, high perf all in one)

You can use ECS for that.

Hah! This was pretty much my response when I encountered Tailwind for the first time. This post by Tailwind’s author gives some more perspective: https://adamwathan.me/css-utility-classes-and-separation-of-...

I had the same concern, this article perfectly captures the problem and gives perspective to the solution Tailwind provides - Thanks for sharing!

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but https://fly.io> is pretty neat. It's easy to get going and will deploy any docker images you want with a bit of their config added.

As for AWS ECS mentioned in the other reply -- it's great if you ever get it working, but it is a nightmare to learn and use.

Awesome repos, starred. Do you have any preferences for next steps, such as deploy/management? And if you’ve seen it, what do you you think of https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk?

So, am I still supposed to specify UID and GID? Should I be using Alpine or Debian? How do I handle loading certificates? Should I use an override config for development? In this thread, someone was indicating that the naive volume option does not work over SSH. Also in this thread was a request to pin by tag and not hash. Do I still need to worry about Docker blowing a hole in iptables? Maybe not black magic, but th…

This is how people end up using Kubernetes, despite its warts. [edit: added second clause]

Kubernetes doesn't answer any of the parents questions though, does it? You still need a Dockerfile for k8s and all those questions still apply.

Taking a quick look and nothing I saw manages ssl - do you even package that or do you have that as entirely different steps?

Not the same guy, but many cloud providers take care of ssl in their load balancers.
