Great. The multi-player mode is also fun, that is what I play the most. You can create a challenge and send the link to friends or family. They can join and it keeps track of the leaderboard. Every player gets the same sequence of words. I

That comment was about what happens during an app deployment, to avoid multiple pods on Kubernetes from writing to the same volume. Multiple apps on one OpenRun have no issues, the replication will be identify them as different. If by mista

On Kubernetes, for apps using SQLite, maxReplicas is set to 1 and OpenRun uses the Recreate update strategy. This ensures at most one pod is active (requests are queued until the new pod is healthy). There should never be more than one pod

Without persistent volumes, every deployment of the app may require the SQLite data to be restored from S3, which can take time if database size is large. With PVC, regular app deployments use existing database, only a disaster recovery sce

Built-in Litestream replication and automatic restore is a new feature I added in OpenRun (a self-hosted deployment platform for web apps). Apps can use SQLite with zero code changes while OpenRun handles backup/recovery. This works on

Yes, OpenRun can deploy any containerized application and act like a proxy for the upstream application, no Starlark or any transformation in OpenRun. If the upstream container is serving JSON APIs, OpenRun can also be used to implement a

Go backend with Starlark for dynamic behavior is a great combination. I have been building https://github.com/openrundev/openrun with that approach, mainly for teams to deploy internal tools. It can be used to deploy a

I’ve been working on making SQLite a first-class production option in OpenRun. OpenRun is a self-hosted deployment platform for web apps and internal tools which I have been building as a side project for last three years. Built-in Litestre

Custom agents can be added if it supports ACP, the console UI has the config options for that. I have tested with GitHub and GitLab. OpenRun uses the go-git library, so BitBucket should work, not tried it yet. FastHTML is great for internal

The agent based app builder is pretty new, still improving it. It runs with Agent Client Protocol (ACP), with integrations for Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode and Pi.

OpenRun runs on a single machine, with either Docker or Podman. All apps runs on that one machine. Idle apps are scaled down to zero, so resource usage is low even when hundreds of apps are installed. For scaling up, OpenRun can be deployed

There is too much friction in deploying internal tools. I have been building https://github.com/openrundev/openrun to solve that. Full GitOps (create/update your app through GitOps, not just updating app source co

Targeting a specific use case (internal tools) should hopefully help avoid feature creep. Also, the goal is that an OpenRun config should work on a single-node with Docker and with Kubernetes. That limits the types of features which can be

I don't think you can provide all the features of Kubernetes while reducing the complexity. What is possible is to support a subset of the features of Kubernetes while making it easy to use. https://github.com/openrunde

Been working on making it much easier for application deployments to get access to a isolated database/schema. The usual pattern currently is to assume that each app creates a new database, which ignores the backups, monitoring etc req

Service binding is a feature that only large systems like Cloud Foundry support till now. Even Kubernetes does not have a functional implementation, the Red Hat operator is deprecated. It is a very useful feature, it allows you to configure

Kubernetes offers powerful low-level primitives that can support virtually any deployment architecture. However, working with these primitives directly requires significant YAML wrangling. It makes sense to build specialized solutions on to
