Hi all,

I made Mushak out of frustrtaion. There are many amazing tools out there these days to deploy your apps to your own servers. I've used a shell script to deploy my apps many years (using Docker and Compose since 2016 or so).

Although tools like Dokku, Coolify and Kamal exists (and they are amazing) they all have tradeoffs. Dokku comes with the plugin system when it comes to DBs etc. which I don't like. Coolify since v4 it has 4 containers running to get started. Kamal is pretty awesome but the build process and config file which is mandatory and also secrets management is time consuming to get up and running.

Mushak is very simple. If you have A Docker or compose file, it should JUST WORK.

Create a .env.prod file in, and it will detect it and pushes it to the server if you want. You'll deploy to prod faster than you can believe it with zero config out of the box.

Hope this will help anyone out there, I really enjoy deploying my apps with it. Documentation will also clarify the architectural choices.

Best, Hamed

Looks interesting, barebones but in a good way. Seems to be a good fit for how I am currently hosting. Will give it a shot after the holidays.

Thanks!
