I'd love to see the same effort that is going into avoiding managing a service go into contributing better tooling to that service or to the OS package/configuration so it's not 30 minutes of work. I'd love it if it worked more like this: apt install myservice and maybe one or two tweaks/decisions to configure for use. A lot of the issues here are that dynamic language based services (python/ruby/js) don't play nice with OS provided interpreters. This is a problem that really needs to be solved, if we'd like to continue to have nice things.
- programd 5y agoThe tooling is already there. All the "not playing nice" issues are largely solved by using Docker. Installing a local Docker instance of Gitlab is literally four commands. Mkdir three directories and docker run to get it started. See https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/docker.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/docker.html
- indymike 5y ago> All the "not playing nice" issues are largely solved by using Docker Not really. Now any integration has to be done inside the container or with other containers... which adds lots of extra steps. I do agree using Docker makes a simple deployment easier, though.
