Before launching a demo, I decided to make a big change to how Shipkit works.
I switched from Docker to Podman and completely rewrote my entire shipkit-cli—it now uses Kind instead of k3d for local development.
Now that’s done, I’m excited to explore the best way to demo a PaaS!
The good news: I already have an MVP ready to go. yay...
Didn’t quite manage to ship the MVP in the last 10 hours, but there’s still progress! Since my last update, I’ve been beefing up the Kubernetes configs and tuning the dev setup so hacking on Shipkit becomes way smoother. A few more hours of work and we should be in a much better spot for development!
Project Shipkit was silent the last couple weeks but now I am back cooking the MVP together! Currently i am troubleshooting to get Kubernetes running so I will get easy SSL certs with ACME. When the Switch to Kubernetes will be done, then Shipkit will finally be ready to get shipped... yay!
The new Version 0.1.15-MVP of my PaaS is here:
In the last 6 hours i smashed some Bugs, added some Content to the Settings and introduced Responsiveness for Mobile Users. Also the Github Pipeline for Releases should now work with Release Notes.
In the future Version i will try to introduce Proxies for Deployments and better Settings over them. Stay tuned!
Shipkit 0.1.8-MVP Patch is out! Including:
- Spring Boot Version updated from 3.5.0 to 3.5.3
- Domain Setup with Letsencrypt
- New install.sh Script
- The README has now content!
The Thing is that i don't know if it works in prod, but lets make a version and test it :XD.
Today I finally fixed the onboarding process that configures the NGINX proxy, so it should now be usable on servers that are not localhost — yay!
Next up is the Let's Encrypt integration, which is actually really important for an application like Shipkit, I think.
Actually I wanted to do my devlog when I have finished my MVP, but this one is not quite finished yet. So in my PaaS called Shipkit you can already deploy Docker composes, but the setup is still in progress. So in a production environment, it wouldn't bring any added value yet. But I look to the future with a clear conscience that I will soon have an MVP that can also run on a real Linux server!
Shipkit - PaaS
Shipkit is an open-source, self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service that makes it simple deploy every kind of Software. Think of it as a modern alternative to Coolify, CapRover or Dockploy. Wanna test the current version? Have a look at the Repo (README)!
This was widely regarded as a great move by everyone.
