Container technologies at Coinbase: Why Kubernetes is not part of our stack

For those missing Heroku: there exists Dokku [1], a small Heroku-like implementation for container management. It uses the same underlying buildpacks and you get the same comfort as with Heroku. And it's free to use. You can't deploy to multiple host machines though. But for small projects that fit on a single host, it's very nice to use.

Tried Dokku, but found CapRover [1] to be a much better / easier option

Looks great! considering migrating from dokku. I also came across exoframe recently which looks lower level but works with your existing docker projects https://github.com/exoframejs/exoframe

Better for what reason?

It seems Dokku wins at "easier" since in many cases, you can just push the application code you used for development and the required stack is automatically detected. Adding a database is two commands. No need to know Dockerfiles.

It's easier because for many cases you don't even need to search the document ro know what command to run to fire up a database. You just select it from a GUI list.

Looks interesting - but the installation instructions put me off a bit. Open a port on your server, and don't change the default password `captain42` - then run a cli tool from your dev machine.

I'll look more into it, but it didn't really inspire confidence.

You can choose a custom password during installation

I just don't understand why you can't change the password (or even better, choose a certificate) before you open the ports to the world.
