Spent a little time poking around to see what this is...
It's a bare-bones hosting service with a limited free tier (25MB asset storage), and a cheap premium tier (10GB asset storage for $2/month).
The big selling point is this:
"The secret ingredient to all our pico services is how we let users publish changes to their sites without needing to install anything. We accomplish this with what is colloquially termed SSH Apps. By using the SSH protocol and golang's implementation of SSH, we can create golang binaries that interface with SSH in unique ways."
They offer these pre-built services + client side tools
- static hosting (pgs.sh for normal static hosting, prose.sh adds blog platform)
- expose your local/home webserver to the internet (tuns.sh)
- private docker registry (imgs.sh)
- private pastebin like service (pastes.sh)
- rss client, pulls rss feeds, sends email notifications (feeds.sh)
There's also a labs area with some experimental services, and it feels like you may also be able to roll your own stuff that uses the base pieces.
- imglorp 2y ago> imgs.sh > 5GB image registry storage That's cute, he says as he compiles another 10gb image...
- mronetwo 2y agoWhat you're saying is that it's not for you? Cool story, bro.
- remram 2y agoWhat they're saying is that the free quota is much lower than the free quota of other repositories, making it uncompetitive. I'll add that the paid tiers of most repositories are not more expensive and offer better security than "guess my SSH username".
- GoblinSlayer 2y agoI guess, it's for self contained go programs as the only file in the image.
- epr 2y agoIt's nice to know that. Could not tell that easily by reading the entire readme or the linked docs. If founders/devs are reading this, it'd probably be a good idea to make it obvious what this is for up front. Even just a one paragraph explainer like the comment I'm responding to for context could help people know if this is even relevant to them.
