Hi c/selfhosted,
I have another project idea. However, before I start I want to make sure there is interest in the community and a similar project does not exist yet.
I was thinking about a “compose” website that contains the compose files and basic information of the projects listed in the awesome-selfhosted list. Users can search for projects, browse by categories, etc. In my opinion when finding a new project you want to try out it, is a bit cumbersome to find the corresponding compose file to get started.
Let me know if there is any interest in such a project. Also I have no idea how I would name the project, so give me your best suggestions :). Thanks!
Compose doesn’t have a versioned standard, it did for a bit iirc, which also means you can’t always just grab a compose file and know it will always just work.
Most self hosted works fine with giant all in one containers, even for complex apps, it’s when you need to scale you usually hit problems with an all in one container approach and have to change.
Huh? They officially support it and there is no need for a version any more. It’s standardised. As a matter of fact, if you try to start a compose stack that starts with a version number it gives you a warning that it’s not needed.
The lack of version is the problem. Syntax has changed over time, so when someone finds or has an older compose file, there is no hint it won’t work with the current version of docker-compose until you get errors and no graceful way to handle it.
I have tried probably over a hundred and never had that happen once. I hear you. But, there is only one version now and if your compose file doesn’t work it’s just incorrect.
