Weird though that their installation page says to navigate to http://IP:3000 (specifically noting http and not https). Perhaps part of the setup will create a cert for your chosen domain and then from then on have you use https://domain:3000 ?

gear54rus · 4 days ago

Actually you have to manually remove port 3000 from container forwarding (which will also override whatever fierwall you have)

If you don't, it's going to be accessible via :3000 AND whatever domain you choose over https:// (provided it can use let's encrypt cert). So it's a bit of a gotcha.

The problem for me with dokploy is how do you manage in-config secrets for deployed apps. There are many apps which have secrets in their configs that can't be imported from env variables.

The only solution is to have these files locally on the server and then use an external bind mount.

I solved this in my docker-compose-gitops-action by just inserting secrets before copying the files to the server.

you can't do that with dokploy even with this dokploy action so it's triggers a pull from the source repo only.

Also the preview feature on dokploy is almost useless because there is no variable to get the preview URL dynamically.

I just deployed glusterfs that is mounted on all machines. It's pretty slow by itself but is good enough for secrets that are just read at startup.

Just mount it at the same path on all hosts and then bind-mount it into the container and it will work no matter where the container is scheduled

Have to think about backup strategy yourself tho.

There isn't another project that integrates a reverse proxy with their docker management UI. You either need to go the docker compose way of adding labels for a reverse proxy to pick up from or use another proxy management UI.

I tried coolify couldn't get it running properly on the same VPS I got Dokploy to just work on the first try.

> reverse proxy with their docker management UI

I tried SwiftWave and Coolify for that. They seem to support that if I understood you correctly.

Does it support wildcard domains for the running apps? I couldn't find it clearly stated in the docs

gear54rus · 9 days ago

It has good flexibility. If it won't support them through UI, you can manually define labels for Traefik to pick up in the app config.

This is exactly how I felt too. I was using portainer before, but the polish on Dokploy is insane.

gear54rus · 9 days ago

On the contrary, to me it seemed bare-bones.

Breaks when you use anything but bash as root user shell. Breaks if you have images in private registries with swarm. Breaks if you wanna restrict the API key access to just one project (the key can access all projects lol).

It's a great piece of software, I use it myself. But calling it polished in any way is a bit of a stretch.

Next time you find yourself in this situation, a $5 VPN subscription (Mullvad, etc.) gets you the same result without the IP being an obvious Tor exit node. Faster, too, in latency, bandwidth, and the time it takes to change locations. You only care about the VPN part for this, not the onion part.

gear54rus · 16 days ago

Are Mullvad IPs somehow non-obvious? I assume all mainstream VPNs are detected by their IPs and slapped with captchas at best (and blocked outright at worst).

gear54rus commented on Flipper Zero dark web firmware bypasses rolling code security rtl-sdr.com/flipperzero-d... · Posted by u/lq9AJ8yrfs

Because the original hacker is selling the firmware for 1000 USD on dark web marketplaces.

It's literally being sold on dark web. People call everything "dark web" but this time it's correct.

gear54rus · 17 days ago

So what's the search term for it at least? This stupid gatekeeping while racking views and hype from it is getting on my nerves.

I think slowly Node is shaping up to offer strong competition to Bun.js, Deno, etc. such that there is little reason to switch. The mutual competition is good for the continued development of JS runtimes

gear54rus · 22 days ago

Slowly, yes, definitely welcome changes. I'm still missing Bun's `$` shell functions though. It's very convenient to use JS as a scripting language and don't really want to run 2 runtimes on my server.

This comment is a dire indictment of the state of capitalism from start to end.

gear54rus · a month ago

I'm stunned that they actually gave access for a chat bot to do refunds without human interaction. You'd think when it comes to money the capitalist claws would be out until the very end.

It's still tabula rasa -- you're just initializing the context slightly differently every time. The problem is the constant anthropomorphization of these models, the insistence they're "minds" even though they aren't minds nor particularly mind-like, the suggestion that their failure modes are similar to those of humans even though they're wildly different.

gear54rus · a month ago

This is the basis of the whole hype. 'Conversational capability', my ass.

All of this LLM marketing effort is focused on swindling sanity out of people with claims that LLM 'think' and the like.
