A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hi

Disclaimer/TW : Vibe-coded project. You can hate me and insult me over that and i will understand it. But please bear with me for a minute

I wanted to share this abomination.

Basically i have been making helmfiles to deploy stoatchat and lasuitenumérique (which i previously shared : https://jlai.lu/post/32413174 )

But people kept asking me "but where docker-compose, k8s too complicated".
Instead of being the bigger person and maintain manually a separate compose.yml , i decided to overdo it myself and make an absolute ICBM of a script to kill a fly.

I checked, no one was stupid enough to go that far with such a project. Maybe it could ACTUALLY be useful for someone. So have fun with it.

If you're using this script to convert something that isn't self-contained, you are further into the abyss than I ever ventured, and I am certain it will end terribly.

Hmm, does this handle CRDs and operators? My setup depends quite heavily on them you see. My application manifests use services and operators defined in my core manifests. Everything works together like a finely oiled machine rotating through a few too many dimensions. I do not remember why it works. The abyss calls to me, whispering of self configuring services. The undying light calls to me, with promises of simpler systems and less madness. I hesitate, and turn towards the abyss...

Yog Sa'rath, stay away from me.

After witness this creation, even Yog Sa`rath is eyeing you wearily and giving you a wide berth, recognising one of their own, who has risen above the rest.

You may want to take a look at such dreaded subjects, there's docs/future

[–] K3can@lemmy.radio 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but there's no compose file for the converter. How can you possibly run a single python script without docker+compose?

I'm this close to dropping everything and becoming an ermit living at the top of a mountain.

How does it handle helm features that are not valid compose features? Silent failure or loud warning?

[–] pokexpert30@jlai.lu 1 points 5 hours ago

Depends. take a look at docs/infrastructure. There are things that just can't be replicated with compose (autoscaling...), and some we can scam.

Vibecoded app or not, I really hope this refreshingly unhinged writing style is all you.

Bono, my sanity is gone

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Unnatural. Should be illegal.

[–] pokexpert30@jlai.lu 1 points 6 hours ago

I wish it was.

If you want to do it right, have a look at podlet (docker to podman quadlet converter), should get you 90% of the way there.

[–] pokexpert30@jlai.lu 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm afraid you had too much hope in me. Your project goes the right way - evolving docker to podman.
What i built is a devolution, it goes from kubernetes to docker.

Ah, my bad, down to might be interesting I guess.
