:wave: Hi. Thanks for taking a look. Yeah, lots of things to improve. What gets me about this script is the the if/else would read better as a case statement. Chalk it up to a small team spending a lot of time re-architecting part of a commercial product out so we could open source it. We wanted to develop in the open and that meant shipping something. Patches welcome. I'm going to be taking a pass at this script and a powershell script tomorrow. We also want to eventually get past curl and into brew/winget but we wanted to balance that with getting something out the door. If you like packaging and scripts and want to help out we've got https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona/issues/102 tracking this at the top level.

there are few things more fun than chmod +x-ing an HTTP 404 response page Since we're talking about things no one asked, it would further inspire confidence -- and also help your CDN costs! -- if they fetched from your releases page <https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona/releases>; to the best of my knowledge GH offers a "latest" URL so one need not hard-code version numbers in the shell script and at the same time says "this binary was produced from this tag" which the current shell script for sure does not. It turns out $(./daytona version) does cough up the version number but it would be more obvious if it were fetched from a release/tag URL Thank you for attending my talk :)

Show HN: Daytona – Open-source dev env manager from a 15-year journey

Hey HN, I'm Ivan Burazin, and for the past 15 years, I have been on a mission to streamline software development environments. Today, I'm excited to share the culmination of that journey: Daytona, an open-source Development Environment Manager designed to finally solve the issue of setting up dev environments, whether local or remote. My journey in cloud development began in 2009 when my cofounder and I we launched the first (or at least one of) commercial Cloud IDEs, Codeanywhere. We developed everything in-house: the IDE, the orchestrator, and more. We garnered interest from over 2.5 million developers, and although it makes sense now, then we were ahead of our time. Fast forward to today and remote development is commonplace, but the complexity of setting up environments has grown by a magnitude. This is where Daytona comes in. - What
Read the rest
is Daytona? Daytona is an open source, single-binary Development Environment Manager that lets you set up your development environment anywhere – local, remote, cloud – with a single command: ‘daytona create.’ It's free, flexible, and ready to use. - Why Daytona? *Simplicity*: Set up your dev environment with a single command. The only thing you need to need it to point to a repo and a target and Daytona automagicly does the rest. *Flexibility*: Works on any machine, with any infrastructure. *Open Source*: Fully transparent and community-driven. - Getting Started: We've made it super easy to try Daytona: 1. Download the single binary. 2. Run it on your machine – no signups, no emails, just straight to business. We're excited to see how Daytona can streamline your development workflow. Try it out, push its limits, and let us know your thoughts, questions, and feedback right here. GitHub: *https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona\* I'll be around to discuss and answer any questions you have. Looking forward to ur feedback regardless. Ivan Burazin Founder, Daytona P.S.: For those who love the backstory and the technical journey, I've poured it all into a thread you can read here: https://x.com/ivanburazin/status/1765392906054197674?s=20
