Show HN: Dockerless, Elixir Web Application Using Podman and Plug
- _joel 3y agoWhy do this rather than use a Dockerfile?
- nicce 3y agoIt seems like the tutorial is not really thinking the end-result and reproducibility of the container (the main use-case). It is manual workflow to create a service inside container, when you instead should automate the process with Dockerfile/Containerfile or just shellsricpt it with Buildah. What is the point of creating non-root user here when he adds it to the wheel group anyway? Something you are not doing, when making a proper container image.

- lioeters 3y agoI liked the tutorial, it showed how to get started with some interesting choice of technologies. What I would have liked to see more: - Why not Docker? Why Podman instead of other container tools? - Why Elixir instead of other languages? https://elixirschool.com/en/why https://elixirschool.com/en/why - Why not Phoenix? - How to clean up after the tutorial: shut down Podman, etc.
- spacedimp 3y agoI expanded the guide a bit more with some helpful resources to learning more about why Podman over Docker. > Why not Phoenix? I wanted to keep the demonstration simple. Also it's helpful learning how a web framework works underneath instead of just using it blindly. > Why Elixir Mainly for the fault tolerance and distributed networking.
