Comment on Show HN: Pigsty – Free RDS Alternative

Interesting, but unless you understand every piece of software running and how they interact and are deployed, running this sounds like a devops and security nightmare.

That’s my thing. I closed the docs as soon as I opened them because I already couldn’t imagine convincing anyone this was a good idea enough to convince me it was a good idea. If that made any sense

You need a lot of clout to get something like this out. Kubernetes is an example of something in this category, for example. That baby needed to come out of Google to be both fully formed and in the "didn't get fired for choosing" bucket :-).

Speaking of which, why isn't this project delivered as a Helm chart?

Yup me too, it's great that it's extensible, but it's also it's immediate problem.

It might require a bit of elbow grease to grasp every component. I'm trying my best to smooth out that learning curve:

However, when it comes to getting it up & running, the process is pretty straightforward, and the outcome is leagues ahead compared to running the kernel in the raw way.
