I happen to have downloaded the master branch at 9am this morning. Here's a torrent: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:92042e65d1b38cd5d97c29baa4d0c9e2af46f355&dn=bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean-master.zip
Off-topic: Tailscale seems like such a perfect acquisition target for Cloudflare. It seems like there's perfect product and culture alignment. Amirite?
Our UI is admittedly a paid product (Dokku itself and it's large ecosystem is already free, I gotta justify my time _somehow_), but:
- We otherwise largely adopted the heroku CLI, so if you use heroku on the CLI, you can probably use Dokku just fine.
- Dokku is 100% more flexible than almost everything else out there. You can extend it with custom plugins in your own language, targeting hundreds of plugin triggers[1]. Thats how the bulk of Dokku works, and how we support various types of builders, schedulers, and proxy implementations.
- We deploy "docker containers", same as Coolify. If you mean "docker images", we support that via `git:from-image`, in addition to deploying tarballs, remote git repositories, or even something else (I was once sent a plugin that integrates with Mercurial). I'll get the docs updated on that since maybe its not apparent.
- We support a variety of builders too, such as Heroku v2a, Cloud Native Buildpacks, Nixpacks, and AWS Lambda-compatible functions.
I'd say the two things Coolify beats us out on is a native swarm integration and a free UI. For the former, we have official plugins for Kubernetes and Nomad (Swarm is coming), while Dokku Pro is paid (as I mentioned before).
All that said, Coolify is cool, and this space is large enough for lots of players to exist :)
I went down that rabbit hole as well, and I also settled on Outline for our business. We haven't widely deployed it yet, but it's been working great during our limited testing. It is sorely missing robust embeds, however!
Same here. I was a customer for a long time and loved the service, but having to watch my “search spend” and constantly going over limits is really annoying. I ended up cancelling but I really wish I didn’t.
Personally I’d like to see an ad-supported, or partially ad-supported version that isn’t evil.
The way Google started out with relevant ads in the sidebar or a single relevant ad at the top is acceptable in my opinion if it means bring the cost way down for the end user and ensuring sustainability for the company.
I don’t think asking users to shell out $10, $20, $30 per month for search is a viable long term model that’ll ever appeal to the masses.
I'm not a Kagi user (yet) but I think you're missing the point.
In order to display just one ad, the engine has to start tracking you. The converse, just display a random ad, is not valuable to advertizers and they won't pay for it.
Equally, the kagi user base is so small that even if I -wanted- to put an ad on Kagi, I'd get very few impressions per month.
Lastly given that the user base is self-selecting as a group paying money not to see ads, my ads will likely get no clicks.
Thus, imo, you can be subscription supported, or ad supported but not both.
At least you'd want to track user language. There are many words that are spelled the same in different languages but have completely different meanings. Just one example.
>In order to display just one ad, the engine has to start tracking you.
I don't think so. Selling ads based on keywords in search terms has always been a viable strategy.
But you're right about Kagi's current user base. Selling yourself as an ad-free alternative and then introducing ads sounds difficult to say the least.
Docker is awesome tech but a terrible company with a terrible business model. I don’t see them surviving long term. Especially with the way they operate and alienate people.
FYI, the `www` version of your domain doesn't resolve. You might want to add a redirect.
