Show HN: Containerlab.app – drag'n'drop Docker IDE for easy container dev
My buddy and I have been in software for a while and we’ve seen how tedious it can get to spin up multi-container projects. Whether it’s a pre-packaged open source app like n8n or AppSmith, or if it’s a more complex self-hosted project that needs a DB, a VPN, and a reverse proxy - it’s always a mission to get it spun up. You can end up spending days looking up documentation, drafting compose...

Sounds like an intriguing concept, but what are the material benefits over all the other open source CRMs out there? Eg https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/best-open-s...

Good point. Probably best then if we only store the actual game config (a bunch of text files) and completely purge the instance when the user ends the session. Then when booting again we start afresh and copy in the config only.
Ask HN: Pay-per-Minute Game Servers
Some friends and I are considering starting a pay-per-minute game server hosting company. Our idea is to use a cloud-as-a-service provider and only spin up game server instances as users request them. Thus a user can boot up a game server (e.g. Minecraft/Killing Floor/etc) anywhere in the world and only pay for the minutes it's online.We'll charge the same as the cloud provider charges us, plus...
Re:Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?

I built a Tinder-like matchmaking app where users log in with their Facebook account and the app then auto-matches users by their FB likes. I thought taking the hassle out of swiping could give my app an edge over Tinder.
It was working fine for a week or so before Facebook caught up and revoked my API keys (effectively killing the app). They didn't give any reason besides some vague recommendation to review their Terms of Service. A few months later at their F8 developer conference they announced they'll be launching their own matchmaking service which will work pretty the same way I built my app.
Moral of the story: never trust big tech.
P.S. I open sourced the app a few years ago: https://bitbucket.org/stonepillarstudios/workspace/projects/... Feel free to fork & revive.
