This looks very cool! Please consider adding a user agent string with a link to the repo or some Google-able name to your curl call, it can help site operators get in touch with you if it starts to misbehave somehow.

Yup, use an accessory for that. I used it to setup a Minecraft server for our last company meetup. I agree, there should be a way to have the primary app be an image that doesn’t get built/pushed.

I was at the company when it happened. I'm currently at the company. I'm in ops and work on all of the mrsk/de-clouding efforts.

Zero, which is why we're not using k8s on-prem. Our team is already handling the on-prem hardware/software environment, and this will consolidate our apps on a single platform methodology, allowing us to keep the same team size. U

Yes, they did. This is not a debatable fact. IIRC, it was 30%+ of the company.

I mean, mrsk has a different feature set than ECS, sure. But we don't want to pay AWS for ECS anywhere. We're trying to get off big tech where we can. I'm sure you've heard David talk about that. This tool covers our use

I don't think there's a writeup out there, but mrsk just uses docker under the hood. So, if you have a CMD in your Dockerfile, it will use that. If you have an image that can run multiple things, like a rails app that can run the

We did! And it did work. And there are def some great things that I (we) love about k8s. Personally, the declarative aspect of it was chef's kiss . "I want 2 of these and 3 of these, please", and it just happens. Which is

Negative. No external tool/company has ssh access. GHA is strictly for CI, which is decoupled from the actual deploy. If we do decide to tie it in, it will be using the GH Deployment API to inform the local tool on CI status or somethi

mrsk doesn't require rails. It makes no assumptions about what you're running, we deploy a golang service with it. mrsk does require a ruby install on your machine, tho.

IP addresses are easy to use in the configurations that inspired mrsk. Small apps that are fairly static. There are two main problems that mrsk is trying to solve. 1. Moving our stuff out of the cloud without going back to static hosts. 2.

Yes, we're actively de-k8s/de-clouding all workloads, including Hey, with mrsk as the pattern. We've started with simple apps and moved up our complexity tree, updating mrsk as we go. My co-worker, Farah Schüller, wrote up a

I use FF as my daily driver, and yes, it's tested fine with "Standard" Enhanced Privacy Protections. I did see the issue you were talking about, but I had to modify the permissions to "Custom".

Hah! More like physical constraints on physical objects doesn't scale! The decision was made to not horizontally scale out the dumpster operations to match expected queue uptake. ;)
