Self-Host with Docker Compose. No thanks. I hope open source projects move away from Docker and move towards a single executable binary like PocketBase.

- daxaxelrod 3y agoCurious why?
- nonrepeating 3y agoSome people are annoyed with the way Docker (the company) has tried to monetize the technology by revoking free repos from open-source teams. If I recall, Docker doubled back on that. Realistically, Docker is a fine choice for this.
- ilrwbwrkhv 3y agoNot just that. I don't want to run 3 layers of operating systems to then run the program.
- maxthegeek1 3y agoOffering a single executable binary is definitely great, but wouldn't be super practical given our choice of technologies. Tradeoffs.
- singpolyma3 3y agoNothing forces you to use Docker, it's just their documented happy path because it's popular.
- slig 3y agoDo you want a single binary with Postgres/Clickhouse/Kafka built it? Because that's what their Docker Compose is setting up.
- maxthegeek1 3y ago+1. Wanted to jump in to say that the kafka dependency is strictly optional. It's used to batch writes to clickhouse, but for less intensive workloads Dittofeed can use clickhouse's asynchronous inserts for in-memory batching.
