Is it free? Paid? How do people get in touch with you?

  free if you are in crisis and can't pay. If you can pay, you are most welcome. Added contact info

    Can you upload somewhere (GitLab, GitHub, BitBucket) and then put a banner for buying a beer?

I would be very careful with this. What happens if you make a wrong config change and it results in a loss of business dollars? You could get sued working for nothing. I'd love to help as well but I also don't want to take on unnecessary risk unless someone is paying me to do so and has the right insurance and protections in place for me. If you're offering help in a sort of hands-off way that might be another thing, just be careful.

  Professional liability insurance plus a careful (lawyer-approved?) engagement letter. Unfortunately even helping for free costs money out of pocket if you want to mitigate risks.

On a related note, I'm looking to build ops related saas services. If anyone has ideas they'd pay for, would love to learn more

I tried Googling but I'd really appreciate some advice. I have my own server for some hobby projects and I'd really want a plug and play solution for checking git-repos with docker-files and starting them with their own URL for different branches. Right now, if I have 20 projects with 20 branches, that's 400 endpoints that needs to be configured. And what's best practice with canary deployments via git. So my question is, does it exist a solution and what should I search for besides CI/CD?

  So assuming , you will be using a single domain with 400 sub-domains, you could use an ansible role/playbook. that will - check-out code - build your docker image, start the container on some port - register your docker with nginx and create a virtual host - or register them with ALB and create a listener - make a subdomain for you app/branch you can have branch-name, docker port and sub-domain as variable and define them at run time PS : Not the best solution, but could work for your use case
