Maybe but I’d recommend checking out Depot.Dev for that, they expose Arm and x86-64 runners to buildkit/buildx. Not associated with them, just a happy customer.
it's a pain, you'll need to build the images on separate jobs then merge them into a multi-arch manifest. I moved to namespace.so for remote BuildKit builds a while ago and haven't looked back. depot.dev is also good, but pretty expensive
You're free to think otherwise, but this is what I've been repeatedly told by entrepreneurs in Europe (who mostly copy US ideas), and europeans living in Silicon Valley (who came here to innovate in ways they can't back home).
Yeah or it's just the capital that has been there in abundance.
Spawned from the defense industry, thriving through the money made in the 2000s and after by creating profits all over the world (ads!) and then evading taxation as much as possible while funneling the money back to the valley and hiring the world's best talent to keep that first place.
The small business owner pays taxes because what else can they do?
Big corps go through tax-havens and relocations and don't do so, while profiting off of the infrastructure paid for by taxes (=> enabling customers over seas to even buy iphones).
Traditional companies ship physical products and/or employ more people in the respective countries, while they also try to evade taxation I think those circumstances make them a much better subject to it though.
Really, the more I keep on talking to my friends in the Valley the more it boils down to the money factor. Salaries, VCs and all the likes.
I don't say Europe shouldn't be less business hostile, but one should see the Valley the way it is and realize that just buy changing the laws and trying to copy it Europe can't succeed. They should find their own path.
They can't make money like they do in the US, but I'd argue that good innovation
- that increases the welfare of the people and is meant to bring universal progress - still is more abundant in Europe than in SV.
Indeed. The internet these days is such a fundamental part of our society, I can't imagine server providers will be forced to shut down. We will find a solution in Europe, however costly it may be.
Would love to pick your brain as to what our quirks are and how we might avoid them in the future. Feel free to hit up the `@dokku` twitter account, catch us on the gliderlabs slack (https://glider-slackin.herokuapp.com), or even provide feedback in the Discussions section of the primary Github repository (https://github.com/dokku/dokku/discussions).
@josegonzalez, thanks so much for all of your work on Dokku and for being so responsive in the community for the last couple years. We tried Flynn at one point and had enough issues we moved back to dokku within 2 months and have been happily living on it for years now. You helped me directly with an issue with DB naming at one point, much appreciated!
Going to take you up on this offer. We've been running Dokku in production for years; and have a few quirks which have resulted in us evaluating moving to k8s.
Assuming you’re a company (as opposed to an individual), if you want a PAAS, there are a few different options that in my view are sustainable which I think is the key criteria for adopting something for your platform.
- Heroku. Sure it’s a bit expensive but it’s still super easy if you’re a dev.
- OpenShift. If you’re a really big enterprise, OpenShift is a reasonable choice for PAAS. But only if you’re huge.
- Kubernetes. Yes, it’s complicated. Yes, it has a steep learning curve. But it’s open source, has a huge and growing ecosystem, and it has less lock in than any other PAAS-like thing that I can think of.
The main downside of Kubernetes beyond its complexity is that you still have to build abstractions on top of it for your developers. But that world is improving regularly.
I went through this evaluation process again recently for an open source project for a client and came to the conclusion that, for small projects, Heroku provides immense value. Given the features and free-tier add-ons it’s definitely worth the 7p/m and I don’t know if I would class it as expensive anymore when taking all it’s features into consideration. I’d like to see http2 support though.
Watching and waiting for https://render.com to mature a little as it seems slightly better value.
Yes, I'm a huge fan of Convox [1]. One thing that don't make very clear is that the paid "Convox Pro" hosted console is optional, and convox/rack [2] is completely free and open source. You can set everything up with a single command, and then interact with your rack and app directly through the CLI. I really like how simple and opinionated it is, even though their new v3 version uses Kubernetes behind the scenes.
