Show HN: I built a platform to deploy open-source Docker containers without code

I thought it'd be nice if my friends and elders can run Docker containers as easy as using Facebook. The idea is for them to fill in some details, click Deploy Now, and the app should be live in a few secs.

I've just opened this up for beta testing. What's your thoughts? Is this something you might use? What features would you like to see?

Cool idea!

I think it would be helpful to include on the website why this is better than something like Amazon Lightsail.

I tried signing up. It asked me to create a new project, so I did. But then I couldn't figure out the next step. There didn't seem to be any option for interacting with the project except "rename" and "delete."

It would be nice to avoid linking to my Google or Facebook account to use it, though it's nice that you don't request any permissions on my account.

great feedback, thanks!

This is nice. Are the container stateful?

Are you thinking to add more parameters as environment variables?

I think at the end of the day you will keep getting requests from users to support more and more features and it will ended up as a any other SaaS service.

The containers are stateful, though volumes are not mapped at this time and data persistence is not guranteed. There's a lot more env vars for things like database that's hidden at the moment. Planning to add more and allow values to be updated. Yep, let's see how this goes.
