Looking for suggestions, Building a local first deployment software

evnix

I'm currently developing a new deployment software that operates as a light weight local first desktop application.
at the moment it is for scratching my own itch for deploying Node and PHP/Laravel.

It is somewhat similar to Runcloud and the rest, but it is more for devs and deployments, and not for hosting providers, sorry 😅

why build this?

With SAAS/cloud based solutions that I worked on as an employee, I’ve seen some crazy things. We always hear about “military-grade” encryption, but then SSH/API keys end up in Slack chats, Google Drive, and Jira tickets. and I’ve even seen customer keys and databases pop up in hacker forums. Thus the idea here is for you to keep your keys just the way you do with SSH.
The idea is to make Git-based deployments easy with a nice GUI. It’ll help you set up load balancers, manage dependencies, configure secrets, and do auto-deploys without a headache.
Most importanly, I want the app to keep running for as long as possible even if I get hit by a bus😅

I’d love to hear what you think! Any features you’d like to see or things that would make your life easier? Let me know!

Something like this https://www.cloudpanel.io/ ?

Amadex Something like this

yeah close,
The primary difference being, the GUI software will reside on your desktop as a light weight app, and the server will then be free and have all the horsepower to run the required apps.

The other probably being the philosphy, cloudpanel treats the server it installs on as important and not disposable and hence expects you to treat the server that way.

With the way I am going about it, I plan to treat VMs as disposible resources with very little time required to set them up, iterate or dispose of. (I am thinking more in the direction of poor man's Kubernetes)

We are planning to release a short video of it soon, hopefuly that will make it more apparent 🙂

Looking forward to the video 👍

Dont understand the use case, if its poor man kubernetes, then its waht lxc or Portman already do?

PCx3 then its waht lxc or Portman already do?

Yeah it will be an abstraction built over docker with a nice UI to connect github and set up deployments.

Will have the video in a few days.

Your project tackles important security issues that arise during deployment, all while keeping developer efficiency in mind. Some standout features to think about might be user-friendly rollback options, real-time monitoring of deployments, and smooth transitions between different environments to boost flexibility.

If any one is interested, here is the first look,

any feedback is welcome.
I am trying to reach VPS providers so that they can provide the software for free to their users for no cost to the provider as well (for the first three years with updates and with a perpetual license to keep using it forever after that).

but no luck so far 😞
