I don't know about you but I find the single command $ sudo apt install $x to be much faster, offers wider range of software, more reliable, less fragile, easier to network, and more secure when it comes to running applications on an Ubuntu VPS. The only thing the normal way of running applications is less good at (compared to this dependency manager manager) is "Zero downtime".
- LVB 2y agoI’m not sure what you’re comparing that to. This project is about easily deploying your own app/side-project, which wouldn’t be available via apt.
- superkuh 2y ago99% of what people run in docker is just normal applications.
- indigodaddy 2y agoNot sure how true this statement is in general, but it’s definitely not true of course for what the project described as the use case, eg your own side project/app, which you’d obviously not be able to “apt install.” Unless OP meant like the supporting hosting/proxy infra like Apache/nginx, which yeah, that’s what this project is trying to avoid/abstract for the user to have to deal with. At the end of the day if you use this tool I guess all you’d need to worry about (given the tool is stable and works obviously) would be apt upgrades of the OS and even that you can automate, and then just figure out your reboot strategy. For me, I don’t even want to deal with that, so I happily use fly.
- mightymoud 2y agoRespect! Fly is an absolute beast and to me is best in class for sure!
- mightymoud 2y agoI think this is just miscommunication - I meant more in a side-project/application that you made yourself. Not an application package you install on ubuntu
