Bubblewrap VS The Tidelift Subscription

Recently, I came across Chainguard and wrote the article How to build Docker Images with Melange and Apko. As a fervent supporter of Kubernetes and GitLab CI, I was eager to experiment with building images using Melange in this particular setup. GitLab's shared Runners work seamlessly with Bubblewrap, eliminating the need for additional configurations.

``` This is basically manually invoking what Flatpak does: https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap This is also useful for more than just security. E.G., you can test how your app would behave on a fresh install by masking your user configuration files. I personally also have a tool that uses it to basically bundle all dependencies from an entire Linux... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

To, say, override the KDE plugins while testing. This is useful for me since it's rather challenging during development to actually get KDE apps to reliably load my plugins on NixOS: I think kio slaves are probably wrapped and getting other environments injected into them. Rather than bother with any tricky hacks, Linux namespaces make it relatively easy to test regardless. Bubblewrap is used internally by Flatpak... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

After some research I had nailed down that I would have to use either bubblewrap, PWABuilder or Capacitor. Since all those worked with Progressive Web Apps, I set out to start with building a PWA. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

This problem has already been partially solved by Tidelift. He even mentions them in his blog post, they used to send him $1000 a month. Unfortunately it sounds like they're not legally allowed to fund him at the moment because Russia. $1000 a month is not a lot considering the amount of work this guy is putting in, so Tidelift's model may not be sustainable but it's still an interesting business model.

Depending on the FOSS you use, yes. Eg, https://tidelift.com/ . Is it more convenient to find commercial/proprietary vendors instead? Or to use warranty-less software and pay for your own staff to track changes and be ready to maintain the software yourself? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Alternatively, companies like tidelift are trying to fix this; you may want to check with them if they'd be interested in adding your project to the fold, though I believe they are focusing more on libraries in library-heavy ecosystems such as java, nodejs, and python. Source: over 1 year ago
