What Hacker News says
10 sourcesI agree, one-click deploy would be the next step. Hadn't seen helm, I was debating between k8s and rancher.
If possible I'd like to avoid an opinionated hosting service like Google Cloud Launcher or AWS ECS, but I recognize that it's probably necessary. The only open source one-click deploy I've seen is a church service[1], but the author of that project accomplished it by with a separate app that provisions the necessary DO droplets via API and presenting the credentials to the user.

In Show HN: Strimpack – roll your own livestreaming portal, chat, subs, and forumNo, it’s not documented. I feel bad.
It’s basically four keys: name, image, min_size (optional), and config.
The config key contains the cloud-config, tutorial here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduc...

In DO Installer – An installer for getting apps running quickly on DigitalOceanYou might be more interested in installing our church app OneBody. You can do that by clicking the "Install on DigitalOcean" button in the readme here: https://github.com/churchio/onebody
In Show HN: “Install on DigitalOcean” button for open source appsFor OneBody, we have 6 different ways to install the software.[1] We're definitely not forcing anyone to pay DigitalOcean to host our open source app, but it sure is nice to give people that option when they don't want to mess with running their own host.

In Show HN: “Install on DigitalOcean” button for open source appsCertainly, for anyone who wants to hand-type the commands on their own machine, we have manual install instructions for OneBody[1].
But for a whole host of people, getting the app running quickly on a host they control is like magic.

In Show HN: “Install on DigitalOcean” button for open source appsHey everybody. I built this small Sinatra app because I wanted a simpler way for people to install my software OneBody[1] on DigitalOcean.
I'm not sure my little VPS will hold up under the strain of HN, but you can see the app in action at http://installer.71m.us and even use it to install itself (how meta!) on DigitalOcean.
This uses the new MetaData[2] feature of the DO API to pass a config string to be processed by CloudConfig[3].
Once that is done, there is a small bit of code running on the VM to tell this app when the install is finished so you get a progress bar while you're waiting.
To be clear, DigitalOcean is doing all the real work -- this app simply acts as a hand-off between your app.yml config file on GitHub and the DigitalOcean API.
