To be honest I never really understood the benefit of Docker (Compose) Secrets - which is different from Swarm Secrets. Imho there just plain host mounted volumes, which are hidden from inspect commands?

What are the benefits of running Podman Compose instead of Docker Compose? I don't see how it helps with orphan containers, logs and mutable tags.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

You can use it for IoT use cases for sure. Although our software is compatible with Windows, it does not explicitly perform operating system management or the tasks that you typically need to handle in an IoT environment.

Nice to hear, feel free to leave any feedback while exploring Distr.

Congrats on building your custom delivery platform. We understand your pain ;-). Any specific pain you want to share or feature you are still missing in your solution?

We’re happy to help you migrate to Distr if you decide you no longer want to maintain your solution or if you’d like to benefit from regular updates and continuous improvements.

Distr SaaS is configured for USD only (via Stripe) for simplicity, but EUR payments are definitely possible (either via Stripe, SEPA, etc.).

Thanks for sticking around! Yes indeed, Distr already has a lot of features and can replace many other tools in your deployment stack (e.g., CI, log collection, alerts, licensing, secrets, OCI registry, customer & user management).

Users definitely also use us for internal deployments, but there are some trade-offs you’ll need to make compared to the zero-config setup you get when deploying your Next.js app to Vercel on the one hand, and the hardcore customization you get when running your own GitOps/Terraform setup on the other.

Is there any specific feature you’re missing, or is it just that our website doesn’t really highlight that use case?

Sure, happy to follow up with a detailed comparison.

TL;DR: Octopus Deploy has a strong focus on CD, providing a Cloud based framework to push your software to multiple targets. Distr also supports directly and continuously deploying your software to various deployment targets, but it additionally supports the pull approach, where the customer fully self-manages their infrastructure and simply fetches the application or artifacts from Distr.

Octopus Deploy also offers deep Argo CD integration (after they acquired Codefresh). On the other hand, Distr is completely open source and can be self-hosted if desired.

If you’re interested in specific features, I’m happy to go into more detail.

I feel you, but a huge percentage of recently funded companies are in the AI space. Software distribution for them is even more complex due to all the moving parts, and we want to make sure these companies know that our solution is a great fit for them.
