For our hosting situation on https://github.com/typesafegithub/github-workflows-kt/issues/571
I have a personal server where I host my tech stack. I could easily host our simple jvm app there if you have an idea on how to build it into a dockerfile

[Piotr Krzemiński]

That's really awesome, thanks! 🙇 The next step would be to wrap the script-generator into a Web server and build a frontend. @jmfayard @Nikky do you want to contribute here? Would be nice to start with a little design - a sketch of UI, then the backend API will emerge

[Piotr Krzemiński]

@LeoColman how would you like us to deploy it? would you like to get a reference to the Docker image somewhere in public repo and deploy it manually, or we could set up some automated CD (needs a way to auth with your server)?

[LeoColman]

Making it runnable with Docker would be much easier.

I use docker-compose for all my stuff, so I'll probably come up with an image to be deployed in the same way if we don't make it official part of the repository

[LeoColman]

Making it runnable with Docker would be much easier.

This seems interesting for other people to host it too, or whenever we find an official supporter/donor

[Piotr Krzemiński]

Sure, I'm also for dockerizing it, I'm wondering what's next. We have an image and who actually deploys it

[Piotr Krzemiński]

I guess we can consider publishing it to DockerHub and you could consume it from there using your infra, sounds good?

[LeoColman]

Yep, sounds perfect

[LeoColman]

I have my personal domain <http://colman.com.br|colman.com.br> and can create a <http://github-workflows-kt.colman.com.br|github-workflows-kt.colman.com.br> if we don't have a domain to point there. The best alternative would be to point another domain there when we have one

[jmfayard]

Thanks, I updated the issue

[Piotr Krzemiński]

@LeoColman I've put together a very hacky first version of the dockerized script generator, for now only with REST API, no UI yet. Feel free to put it on your hosting whenever you have a moment 🙂

    ) {
    }

workflowTest.writeToFile()"}

[LeoColman]

Nice! I'll do that 🙂

[LeoColman]

Done

[Piotr Krzemiński]

cool! now we need a simple UI, I’ll likely add it in the next days and ask you for a re-deploy. BTW, how time-consuming for you is to redeploy the image?

[LeoColman]

<= 5 minutes

[LeoColman]

It's bumping the version and making a commit

[LeoColman]

I can even set it to "latest" if you are feeling brave xD

[LeoColman]

Then it would automatically update once every 24h

[Piotr Krzemiński]

there’s no latest tag yet 🙈 but yeah, we can consider it in the “moving fast” dev phase of this tool

[Piotr Krzemiński]

will let you know, thanks!
