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

scottydelta• 8 years ago

I think the developer launched the product too soon.

chrisper• 8 years ago

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

acro5piano10• 8 years ago

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

acro5piano10• 8 years 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.

kreetx• 8 years 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!

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

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

acro5piano10• 8 years 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).

codegladiator2• 8 years ago

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

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

acro5piano10• 8 years 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.

amanzi• 8 years 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.

acro5piano10• 8 years 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.

dhux• 8 years ago

Nice, it worked for me.

CaptainJustin• 8 years ago

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

acro5piano10• 8 years ago

Thank you for pointing out.

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

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)

outime• 8 years 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.

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

acro5piano10• 8 years ago

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

zimbatm• 8 years ago

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

acro5piano10• 8 years ago

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

1023bytes• 8 years ago

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

acro5piano10• 8 years ago

Thank you for the question.

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

captn3m0• 8 years ago

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

rorychatt• 8 years 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?
