This looks amazing @justin_rhee1 . I'll give it a spin over the weekend for sure! Great to see it's OSS as well.

Congratulations to @justin_rhee1 and the entire Porter team. They've done an amazing job helping us transition to Kubernetes via Porter. We were spending a non-trivial amount of time managing cloud containers - provisioning, scaling, monitoring metrics, etc. All that's gone ever since we switched to Porter!

They have the hands-down best PAAS product out there: the best crafted UI, the most smooth on-boarding experience, and the best customer service that will put a smile on your face. The founding team is such a incredible collection of talent!

Looks interesting, but I'm confused: Are you a self-hosted open source or a hosted SaaS? I see you have a repo, but there isn't any way to install it. What's your pricing? Is your product free?

@bcye Our hosted dashboard is just a window into applications/services running in your own cloud account. While you can run a local version of the dashboard itself, it's a bit of a pain to get spun up so we're currently working on significantly improving the local installation process. The honest answer regarding pricing is that it's subject to change in the future - as of now, we don't even have billing set up. Bottom line though, our goal is not to charge indie devs and small teams, but charge larger teams with features that are geared more towards collaboration.

@carlo_thissen Thanks Carlo, really appreciate it!

Hey @justin_rhee1! Nice tool, although I have to ask, will you only support "big" cloud providers? Or do you plan to extended to others (like my beloved Linode)
Justin Rhee
Maker
Thanks @andre92! Currently, you could provision a cluster using the Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) and then link that to Porter via the CLI. Hope that helps!
Thomas Andressen
@justin_rhee1 Yeah, I didn't thought of that when I made this comment haha, thank you though!
Nazim @Koinju
Wow, this is a really cool thing if it works as you say :-) . We, at koinju.io, are big consumers of aws but not only. Is it possible to add other providers ? terraform like ?
Justin Rhee

@nazim_m we actually already use Terraform under the hood and can automatically provision to AWS, GCP, and DO. You can also just connect an existing k8s cluster. Happy to follow up if you have questions about a specific set of providers!
Nazim @Koinju
@justin_rhee1 awesome, I think about our dear little French providers scaleway and ovh cloud.

Hi @justin_rhee1 just a question: how is it different from Caprover?
Justin Rhee
Maker
@sandochee great question. The main difference is that CapRover is built on top of Docker Swarm whereas Porter uses Kubernetes under the hood. Either works, but we're definitely seeing more widespread adoption of Kubernetes as the orchestration layer, especially in recent years.
Sandoche
@justin_rhee1 Thanks for your answer!
