I think it'd be a perfect fit. We'll see what happens: https://github.com/basecamp/kamal/issues/1588

…version. There are some context about why they switched and decided to roll their own, from the PR. https://github.com/basecamp/kamal/pull/940

Also exciting that Kamal 2 (currently RC https://github.com/basecamp/kamal/releases ) will support auto-SSL and make it easy to run multiple apps on one server with Kamal.

…a side project. Seems to be similar in spirit. Has anybody used it, and if so, what do you think? https://github.com/basecamp/kamal

I love the minimal approach - will try it! There is also: https://kamal-deploy.org/ https://github.com/basecamp/kamal https://dokku.com/ https://github.com/dokku/dokku/ https://clace.io/ https://github.com/claceio/clace

comment by mdaniel · 2023-09-19 · in Kamal: Yet another way to deploy your web apps (from the maker of Ruby on Rails) -
Honestly these days I am leaning towards this approach: https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk/ It's all just docker.

something to note DHH is a beast. MSRK seems most of MSRK was written by him alone - https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk/commits/main?after=83dc82661b... his output is crazy. that's why he gets the big bucks
comment by dzonga · 2023-03-22 · in MRSK vs. Fly.io -
…so build our own looks really bad from an engineering perspective. When you look at the issues: https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk/issues/44 you can some see trivial shortcoming that has been solved for years by other solutions.

This is mrsk: https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk It is described as "Capistrano for containers" (This is DHH/37signals so we are in the ruby world) Mrsk is written in ruby and it is hard to type because autocorrect will change it to the name…

comment by sho · 2023-02-26 · in Awesome Docker Compose Examples -
Interestingly, it looks like DHH is working on something similar (for Rails): https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk > MRSK deploys web apps in containers to servers running Docker with zero downtime. It uses the dynamic reverse-proxy Traefik to…
