Octopus Deploy Reviews

Social recommendations and mentions

• Alternatives to Helm?

  We use Octopus for our deployments (not only k8s, but pretty much every application we have). It might be too powerful (and expensive) for your needs, but I don't think there is a better tool for any kind of application deployment out there (and if you know of one, especially a cheaper one, please let me know ;-) ). - Source: Reddit / 22 days ago

• Good Cron GUI

  Not open source, but there is also https://octopus.com/ which has a free self-hosted version. It's meant to be a deploy tool, but it has a nice ui for creating/running jobs. They can be scheduled or triggered via other methods. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• How to deploy?

  At the moment, we are using Octopus Deploy to deploy all of our applications. But with kubernetes, there is such a huge amount of tools to use, so maybe there is stuff out there that can handle our k8s deployments even better. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

• Bringing the Unix Philosophy to the 21st Century

  Typically informational messages/log message. Ideally it should go do stderr but some applications that intercept the file descriptors consider anything to stderr as error and it is not always possible to change the handling for those applications (e.g. Octopus Deploy[0] does this).
