Comment on Show HN: IHP v1.0 – Batteries-included web framework built on Haskell and Nix

Comments

It looks like Docker support is still a paid feature? That's disappointing. I had written a blog post outlining how important docker support was and explaining how little work it was to get working, and at the time the maintainers agreed it should be a free feature, but it seems they've changed their minds.

There's some unofficial ways to build docker images, check https://zacwood.me/posts/building-ihp-apps-github-actions/ :)

We've not changed our minds on docker becoming a free feature eventually. We just didn't update the pricing yet, but this is planned for the near future.

If it's using nix for building - there's multiple ways to DIY turn that into a docker container, like pkgs.dockerTools.buildImage or nixpacks:

IHP is really easy to package with nix nowadays. In fact the official docker building also just uses `pkgs.dockerTools.buildImage` and calls nix-build :) Most people with nix experience can easily figure out how to do exactly the same thing as the "official" way.
