Show HN: Dodo – open-source PaaS solution

Hey everyone, I want to share my open-source project I've been actively working on for the past half year. It is a PaaS solution and can help you both during development process and in running your applications in production. It is fully self-hostable and comes with bootstrapping tools, which takes IP addresses of your Linux servers and installs its own fault-tolerant cluster on top of them.

I just recorded a screencast demonstrating its capabilities such as: cloud based dev environment, provisioning relational databases and securing applications with dodo authentication services. It also comes with built-in mesh VPN solution, is opinionated about authentication and implements group based membership service.

dodo provides high level and easy to use primitives, and I tried really hard not to leak low level infrastructure details. I think I achieved that. If you watch the video, the only place where you can get some idea of what internal details look like is when you see the word Ingress, but hey it is a general term :) You can think of dodo as glue tying lots of already existing open-source solutions and having relatively strong opinions about it.

I'll be active here to answer your questions, but you can also reach me via email at giolekva [at] gmail [dot] com or on Matrix at @gio:v1.dodo.cloud

Wake me when the code is out. Too many people claim they have an OSS project before the code is dropped to gather followers, only to "pivot" to something else later.

Do you have an idea when the code will go public?

    Sometime in mid November. I have to figure out licensing details and write down docs (bootstrapping, app packaging and publishing specification, ...). I will post the link here.
