Admittedly I only looked through this briefly but:
- I don't see too much in the way of documentation, so I can't compare that to Dokku's
- Not super clear how cluster management works - Kubernetes based on some of the api responses - but it appears to take a cluster-first approach here. Dokku has cluster support via it's k3s scheduler but thats something you need to configure (not hard, just not default).
- Neither the OSS nor Dokku Pro offering stand up actual servers (thats up to you to do), while this appears to interact with actual cloud providers?
- It's not clear if this is an open source project - seems like a completely managed offering - but doesn't seem to be. If it isn't OSS, then you can't install it on your server, which may or may not be important to you.
- Dokku doesn't provide anything out of the box for cloud storage. You can configure a minio app, but thats about the long and short of it.
- Dokku is plugin-based, so we offer plugins for the major datastores and other functionality, while this seems to be more of a catered experience.
- Dokku only has an official UI via Dokku Pro (there are community offerings as well but I can't speak to those) while Hoy has that built in (presumably because it's a paid service).
- It's not clear how hoy does app building (or if it depends on your CI to do that). Dokku provides a few different ways to build/deploy applications (Heroku Buildpacks, CNB, Nixpacks, AWS Lambda functions, Dockerfile, images).
Seems neat - I like the live demo, and others definitely will too! - but not sure if comparing this to OSS offerings makes sense to be honest. It's probably closer to any of the other paid, managed solutions that allow you to provision clusters to various clouds (on the cloud managed version or otherwise).
These are mostly VPS or single server management tools.
Hoy is targeting mid sized compaines looking to build a modern, highly available private cloud platform with distributed compute storage and networking.
- Load balancing across multiple servers
- Auto scaling instances as well as Nodes on demand.
So something in the realm of Proxmox or PVC or xcp-ng?
I would agree that the three things I can list here are a hard sell compared to any integrated cloud provider - they all focus on VMs and the rest is up to you, or so my experience has gone so far. Looking forward to trying this out!
