I presume the domain name is a violation of the Docker trademark, seeing as it could potentially be confused for an official product (as it uses the Docker name)

outime7y ago

Given that they warned against using it in repos and even Twitter handles [1], it’d be a wise choice to use some other name.

Not allowing people to call their custom docker tooling "docker-custom-tooling" on eg. Github seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot. Of course, it might be bad and damage their brand, but it could also enable a great ecosystem of surrounding tooling, some of which they could bless if they wanted to. Imho a poor PR move.

There is no way I'd trust that with my containers. Most of the website is fake (as in just text rather than links).

acro5pianoOP7y ago

Thank you for your interest.

This website is a kind of demo screen, but not fake. Actually running Docker remotely and run containers in it.

kreetx7y ago

He's running a (very) lean startup! But it is not fake since you actually can run containers there.

Goid luck to the dev behind it!

scottydelta7y ago

I think the developer launched the product too soon.

I don't think it's launched. It's a demo.

acro5pianoOP7y ago

Yeah, based on feedbacks, I will try to launch!

codegladiator7y ago

The sub-domains you are assigning doesn't work for me. Lookup fails.

Eg: https://zeyxnt8hs40zr2.docker-run.com/ https://qazf5k4ow7gpz2vq.docker-run.com/

acro5pianoOP7y ago

Thank you for your interest.

sub-domains would works, but the container will be destroyed after 120 seconds for this demo. Of course it persist in production environment (soon).

codegladiator7y ago

I think 120 seconds is really short, say 10-15 minutes would be better for demo.

amanzi7y ago

Didn't work for me either. First time I tried nothing happened - just hung, the second time it started to build an nginx container but failed with a permission denied error. Also the only link that works is the link to Github.

acro5pianoOP7y ago

Thank you for trying!

The system is down when you tried because of disk space. I fixed it so could you try again? Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's a bit like https://zeit.co/now without the CLI that builds and pushes the images.

acro5pianoOP7y ago

Yes, but they are migrating their own FaaS to v2. In some case docker based PaaS is useful.

rorychatt7y ago

Can you talk to the problem Docker-Run is trying to solve? It's already relatively easy to deploy docker containers today (AWS/Azure/GCP/DigitalOcean/etc) and even have them pipe to the browser like this.

Without an ecosystem of services to integrate (Identity/Storage/DB/Queue/DNS/LB/Network/etc), containers aren't awfully useful.

What is the differentiator?

EDIT: grammar

CaptainJustin7y ago

Maybe it's just the avalanche of HN traffic but I can't get to your pricing tab (or the others)

acro5pianoOP7y ago

Thank you for pointing out.

Pricing is not decided. However, current ui is sucks so will show a message soon.

I dont understand what provlem this service would solve?

Also, nginx:latest doesnt work with error WebSocket connection to 'wss://api.docker-run.com/' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 502

acro5pianoOP7y ago

Thank you for trying and researching.

Sorry, in that time server is down due to disk space. I fixed it, so please try again.

This service will try to implement simple container management in production. Mainly for small start-ups, like Heroku.

1023bytes7y ago

Doesn't seem very sustainable, what's the business model?

acro5pianoOP7y ago

Thank you for the question.

The same as Heroku, provide docker-based PaaS and users would pay for their containers.

Next thing you'd want is docker-compose support for multiple containers running together

lixtra7y ago

Is "Docker Dun (beta)" the intended page title?

acro5pianoOP7y ago

Thank you for your response. That was just a typo, fixed it!

dhux7y ago

Nice, it worked for me.
