Would you buy "bootstraped" docker containers for faster development/deployment/devops?
I use a few dockerfiles and some build/deploy scripts for any new projects I work on. This gives me a familiar environment to work on for every new projects.
Features I have currently:
- PHP, Nginx, MySQL, Mongo, Redis all configured to work together
- Automatically issuing and renewing SSL certificates
- CI/CD configured to work with Gitlab (may be Github for other people?)
- Compiling and serving SPA/SSR apps with React/Vue/Svelt
- Basic server statistics dashboard(CPU, Memory, container healths and some graphs)
I can also include an email server so people can send and receive emails using their own domain(user verification, subscription list) with no extra cost.
This setup has been very useful for me as I can deploy these within a few minutes. I also have different docker-compose files for development and production environments. There are a few start/stop/debug commands built in, so you can use it even if you have no idea how docker works.
Would you buy something like this or not a good product idea?
I never thought of buying/selling Docker files but it could be an avenue. I doubt it's something I'd be interested in getting myself; but I can see some makers who are not very familiar with the stack buying those, especially those which would not require a lot of maintenance (CI/CD pipeline, Email server, etc...).
Thank you for your reply. Yes that is my point. I've seen people pay more for maintained database/hosting services compared to what they would pay for a bare VPS to avoid maintaining those themselves.
Something like this would allow them to have a maintained(kind of) server with CI/CD at lower cost and more flexibility.
