Looks cool, but in what world is any of that 'single-file'? Like yes your examples are built out of single files, several of them in fact. And the sever certainly isn't a single file...
- LoganDark 2y agoPretty sure they mean the server itself is statically linked. It still depends on external files for any configuration / the applications themselves.
- PhilipRoman 2y agoI guess "statically linked" just doesn't have the same ring to it. (And even with that, it still suggests using docker...)
- trailbase 2y agoYou folks are spot on. Single file in this case means single binary that is statically liked, i.e. w/o dependencies on shared library allowing you to just copy it from machine to machine similar to e.g. k3s. Whether to use docker or not is really up to you. It's just a way to deploy other assets, e.g. a static html bundle. More importantly it saves me the trouble of providing windows builds at this current time :)
- divbzero 2y agoPeople do refer to these standalone apps as “single-file” [1] but I find “single executable” [2] to be less ambiguous.

- adastra22 2y agoThat's "single-file deployment." I've never heard anyone shorten single-file deployment as just "single-file," until now.
- atoav 2y agoYou download a single executable file and execute it and it runs everything needed.
