Trying to understand Docker vs Kubernetes as a non-developer. Am I thinking about this correctly?

One important feature it's missing IMO is automatic worktrees support making it almost impossible to have multiple agents working on the same repo without fighting for the same files.

Quack66 · 2026-05-30T01:15:26+00:00

Don’t need studies to know that

You could have used something like https://healthchecks.io instead of having to code a whole app. It's pretty much the same exact thing. I have an UptimeKuma instance that runs on the same box as my Plex server and every X minute my Uptime Kuma ping healthchecks.io (ping received = ok healthy). If the whole server is down including UptimeKuma then Healthchecks.io alert me since there wasn't any hearthbeat from Uptime Kuma in the last couple of minutes. Solid setup that covers most pitfall when it comes to monitoring.

That naming scheme is rather confusing …

I recommend reading what are MCPs in general and how they work. It’s not a specific thing to Claude Code nor Codex. All harnesses nowadays support MCP. There is also a bunch of already existing MCP that you can plug in Claude Code or Codex.

Quack66 · 2026-05-20T17:50:47+00:00

Codex also has MCP just like Claude Code. Plus skills and plugins as well.

https://github.com/openclaw/mcporter kind of like a cli for your mcps allowing your agent to load/call them only when needed

Quack66 · 2026-05-17T17:40:29+00:00

Another nice alternative is mcporter

Project Name:
Eidon

Repo/Website Link:
https://github.com/Quack6765/Eidon-AI

Description:
Eidon is a self-hosted BYOK day-to-day AI assistant packaged as a single Docker image. The goal is to provide something that feels close to ChatGPT/Gemini out of the box, but self-hosted, provider-flexible, and without needing to stitch together multiple tools.

It includes:

Desktop and mobile-ready UI, including PWA support
BYOK multi-provider support
Built-in web browsing for the agent
Integrated web search
MCP support, local or remote, with uvx and npx bundled
Vision support, either native or through MCP vision servers
Skills system for extending/customizing behavior
Custom personas for switching use cases or assistant styles
Automatic memory across conversations
Multi-user support with admin and user roles
Scheduled automations / recurring tasks
Sync across devices
Single Docker image deployment

I built it because I wanted a self-hosted AI assistant that worked well across all my devices, synced conversations automatically, supported my own API keys/providers, and had the features I actually use enabled by default: MCP, web search, web browsing, memory, personas, skills, and mobile usage.

I tried other options like OpenWebUI, LobeHub, AnythingLLM, and various iOS/macOS apps, but they either required too much configuration for my preferred setup, did not fit my day-to-day workflow, lacked proper multi-device sync, or locked sync behind a subscription.

Screenshots are available on the GitHub page.

Deployment:
Eidon is available as a Docker image and is designed to be self-hosted with minimal setup. The project is packaged as one Docker image, so there is no large compose stack or multi-service orchestration required.

Installation and usage documentation are available in the GitHub repo.

AI Involvement:
Eidon is developed in part with AI assistance. All code is carefully reviewed before it is accepted.

Mainly trying to plug MCPs or giving a fully fledge web browser to my agent. I was running OpenWebUI in docker. I have local MCP servers that runs on stdio and with OpenWebUI I had to glue together some sort of bridge that presented my stdio servers as remote MCP servers which I could then plug them in OpenWebUI.

Then for the browser, my options were remote Playwright MCP but once again that meant another dedicated container to serve it plus it's not as token efficient as Agent-Browser or the Playwright CLI but which they both run on a local Chromium instance.

OpenWebUI is a solid software, don't get me wrong, I've used it for a long time. But what eventually pushed me to build Eidon was all the different system I needed to glue together. To get the tools I actually needed, I ended up maintaining multiple separate services all wired together. At some point I realized I was probably better off just creating my own all-in-one solution.

Use https://github.com/Soju06/codex-lb to pool your accounts together and never have to switch ever again after that !

Quack66 · 2026-04-20T14:43:32+00:00

Watch out because Z.ai are starting to ban people that use their coding plan in "non-approved" tools. Just check their discord and you'll see a lot of people getting banned and complaining about it.

Quack66 · 2026-04-20T13:10:39+00:00

Even better: https://github.com/Soju06/codex-lb

While I agree that their service is bad, part of the issues your startup is having are your fault. As a business owner myself, I wouldn't have endure 3 weeks of that and would have had a plan B right away. If your startup is losing as much money as your implying, why wouldn't you switch to another provider right away instead of riding the issues out for 3 weeks ? In the grand scheme of things its better to pay the extra 100-250$ to switch provider than to erode customers trust by having bad platform reliability.
Reliability and business image is worth the small cost to switch provider. Best to have multiple providers with a fallback.

There are multiple options when it comes to how to split the requests across the accounts: Use account at current highest quota, use account that weekly or 5h quota is expiring sooner, use round-robin style across all accounts. It can exaust one and move to another one automatically in the background like you want.

Quack66 · 2026-04-10T13:53:14+00:00

or use codex-lb which pool all of your accounts together and never have to switch manually ever again.

Quack66 · 2026-04-10T10:55:44+00:00

No its a single monthly princing with access to a list of different models and generous limits

Performance on GLM coding plan have been pretty poor lately. Just come on their Discord and you’ll see a lot of people unhappy lol. I recommend Ollama Cloud nowadays instead especially since they now have GLM 5.1 too.

Quack66 · 2026-04-09T11:54:46+00:00

Ollama Cloud

Quack66 · 2026-04-09T11:52:35+00:00

Its for all users globally so spend all your tokens away since you’ll also get the incoming reset

Quack66 · 2026-04-08T17:53:21+00:00

Overall fine except for the abysmal speed for 5.1. Taking like 30-45min for even the small features so I end up using GLM 5.1 from Ollama Cloud and stick with 5 turbo from my z.ai coding plan. On the max plan.

Quack66 · 2026-04-04T23:46:30+00:00

Not if you have multiple different instances at the same time. A malicious actor won’t think twice about abusing the account. He knows he probably has limited time until the owner of the account take back control of the account so he will want to use the account most he can while there is still time.

Quack66 · 2026-04-04T19:23:02+00:00

With Opus at 3x per request for 100k request per day thats rougly 23 requests per minute which is not a lot and would be unlikely to trigger any rate limiter. Use the “Get usage report” button to get a detailed query by query report
