Due to popular¹ demand, the nightly builds of iocaine are available from a convenient Apt repository for #Debian and Debian-based distributions!

Look here for a short install guide.

Once 3.0 is released, stable releases will appear in the same repository too, as the iocaine package (nightlies are in iocaine-nightly).

While the distribution says "unstable", the binaries are static binaries, they'll run on any Debian or Debian-derived system. They do assume systemd, however.

There's been one suggestion! But I like Debian, and it's been a while I wrote a debian/rules file without Debhelper, this was an opportunity I could not pass up. ↩︎

Continuing down the path of crime, a Getting Started with iocaine & containers guide is now public, documenting the process for the upcoming iocaine 3.0 release.

Go forth, and act maliciously!

How about some configuration reference?

Once we get started on the criminal path, there's no stopping us. We move fast and break ~~things~~Crawlers.

Now, the KDL configuration reference was nice. But sometimes we are comitting crimes indirectly! Sometimes we configure iocaine through - shock, horror! - Nix expressions.

KDL is great for humans to read and write. It's less suitable to generate from Nix expressions. Possible, sure, but other formats like JSON, YAML and TOML lend themselves better for that purpose.

Besides, iocaine is very happy to let You choose your own poison. You can even mix and match them. You can choose all of them!

So I documented the serialized formats too.

Go forth1 and multiply, lets deploy more iocaine servers!

...I should add a Forth interpreter as a supported language. For fun. ↩︎

A couple of days later: Getting started with iocaine on NixOS.

But the hard part of the documentation journey is only just beginning.

Weekend plans: finish documenting the iocaine + your-choice-of-reverse-proxy stuff. The Caddy docs are in reasonable shape, it's pretty much the same as in 2.x.

The nginx docs need a lot of work, and I need to write traefik and haproxy docs, and have another go at Apache, see if it has any way to work with iocaine.

Weekend plans are bearing fruit: iocaine + Caddy guide updated for iocaine 3. It's exactly the same as for 2.x, but with slightly different intro text.

This was the easy part.

@algernon TIL about KDL.

... this looks really nice.

This kinda means I should remove "no YAML soup involved" from the landing page, but... there's no YAML involved, unless someone insists very hard.

Use their own motto against them: "move fast and break things (crawlers)!"

Also, I clicked on your Roto docs and you're still using `function` there instead of `fn`. Otherwise, it's excellent! (And again sorry for breaking backwards compatibility so much)

hmm... does iocane generate pure garbage, or reasonable text followed by a keyword followed by garbage, like Anthropic describes?
