This is an interesting use-case, one way you might be able to achieve this is using technosophos' template plugin[1] which will allow you to skip the trip to the cluster and render templates client-side.

Yes! KubeApps.com is a running public instance of Monocular that indexes the official Kubernetes charts repositories (https://github.com/kubernetes/charts).

To find out more about Monocular, here are some blog posts:

- https://deis.com/blog/2017/building-a-helm-ui/

Thanks for the feedback, it's something we've been discussing about putting on the roadmap. If you have any more thoughts on how this could work, we'd love to hear your thoughts in the issue queue https://github.com/helm/monocular/issues.

This is a really great post, excited to give the OAuth 2 auth a try.

FWIW, an easier way to get started with the NGINX Ingress and kube-lego services is using the official Helm[1] Charts for them (https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/ngin... and https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/kube...).

BBC News' wraith[1] is a pretty great tool for this, although it doesn't really support a more complex web app flow (e.g. logging in) very well.

Hi, I'm an engineer on the Bitnami team working on Stacksmith. If you’re already comfortable maintaining your image stack, keep writing Dockerfiles manually.

We don't think that the average Python developer should have to know apt, yum, apk, the packaging multi-verse, and bash just to get a secure environment where ‘pip install’ works reliably.

We created Stacksmith to help application developers keep their container images up-to-date with ease, without having to worry about the underlying stack too much, whilst still giving completely visibility into what's inside. This opens up the benefits of containers to a much wider audience of developers over time.

Bitnami runs a monthly contest[0] where you can vote for your favourite application to be packaged. I couldn't find an entry for Dada Mail, but you can go ahead and submit it for review[1] and we can add it to the contest.

You are right it is difficult to keep self-managed installations secure vs. just using a SaaS provider, especially when some of the users only have basic admin skills. Having said that, we do our best to have secure settings by default, respond promptly to security issues (typically we release new images within hours of a new version being announced) and in particular in the case of WordPress we pre-configure everything out so automatic updates are enabled out of the box (which the user can also manage from the admin panel without touching the command line).

You can head to https://digitalocean.bitnami.com/ to launch a Bitnami app in your DigitalOcean account.

Hi Manish,

Our images do change some configuration options based on the type of instance that we detect on boot. It would be great if you could get in touch with us at [email protected] and let us know the details of what you had to configure manually, so that we can improve this.

You can find our Launchpad for VMware vCloud Air here at https://vmware.bitnami.com/. Check out https://bitnami.com/cloud to find out about some of the other cloud platforms we've partnered with.

The focus of karn right now is to manage repository-level configuration.

I think setting up different hosts in SSH config is a better way to manage SSH keys.

I built karn to avoid situations where I've forgotten to update the config after cloning a new repository. With karn, any repository under `~/Work`, for example, will automatically be configured to use the correct identity. Also, since it's all in one configuration file, that makes it really easy to maintain and keep it in sync with multiple machines.

I was interested in the significance of the plus for this flag. If anyone else was curious: from the manual, the + flag is for initial commands to less, so this is equivalent to running less and typing F.

This is really cool, I've wanted to create something like this myself for some time. How did you go about initially curating enough data?

On another note, it would be great to see a brief description about why the company uses a particular technology.

We have a Django stack :) https://bitnami.com/stack/django

Bitnami applications are free to download/launch in the cloud, and you are never locked in to using Bitnami.

On top of this, we provide management of your cloud hosting with scheduled backups and monitoring as a paid service[1].

Hey, we include Redmine[1] in our Library, as well as a Ruby Stack[2] that gives you everything you need to run Rails apps on Google Cloud Platform :).

What kind of pro plans do you have in mind for this? I could use this for demonstrating slight UI changes of a design, but I would want it to be private.

It doesn't explain why it's shown a week later though. Why don't they just show it the day after?

Yep. I was baffled by backbone tutorials before I actually sat down and decided to get stuck in and try something.

I've always preferred using Windows alongside OS X in a VM, unless it's a graphics intensive task.

Any reason VMWare is explicitly mentioned? I've always used Parallels and they've had the bootcamp integration for a while now.
