       Show HN: Daytona - Open-Source Dev Env Manager from a 15-Year
       Journey
        
       Hey HN,  I'm Ivan Burazin, and for the past 15 years, I have been
       on a mission to streamline software development environments.
       Today, I'm excited to share the culmination of that journey:
       Daytona, an open-source Development Environment Manager designed to
       finally solve the issue of setting up dev environments, whether
       local or remote.  My journey in cloud development began in 2009
       when my cofounder and I we launched the first (or at least one of)
       commercial Cloud IDEs, Codeanywhere. We developed everything in-
       house: the IDE, the orchestrator, and more. We garnered interest
       from over 2.5 million developers, and although it makes sense now,
       then we were ahead of our time.  Fast forward to today and remote
       development is commonplace, but the complexity of setting up
       environments has grown by a magnitude.  This is where Daytona comes
       in.  - What is Daytona?  Daytona is an open source, single-binary
       Development Environment Manager that lets you set up your
       development environment anywhere - local, remote, cloud - with a
       single command: 'daytona create.' It's free, flexible, and ready to
       use.  - Why Daytona?  *Simplicity*: Set up your dev environment
       with a single command. The only thing you need to need it to point
       to a repo and a target and Daytona automagicly does the rest.
       *Flexibility*: Works on any machine, with any infrastructure.
       *Open Source*: Fully transparent and community-driven.  - Getting
       Started:  We've made it super easy to try Daytona:  1. Download the
       single binary. 2. Run it on your machine - no signups, no emails,
       just straight to business.  We're excited to see how Daytona can
       streamline your development workflow. Try it out, push its limits,
       and let us know your thoughts, questions, and feedback right here.
       GitHub: *https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona\*  I'll be around to
       discuss and answer any questions you have. Looking forward to ur
       feedback regardless.  Ivan Burazin Founder, Daytona  P.S.: For
       those who love the backstory and the technical journey, I've poured
       it all into a thread you can read here:

       | Congratulations on the release! Interesting stuff. But what is
       | the difference between this and other tools like nix? If you are
       | open to feedback, I feel like it is missing some lower level
       | explanations of what problem this solves, preferably with
       | screencasts showcasing how this can be used to solve it. I know
       | that dev env setup can be a pain, but many of us have customized
       | ways of doing this with dotfiles, nix, ansible, etc, and from
       | reading the documentation I am not convinced this will fix any
       | problem for me. But I am quite interested in learning more about
       | this.

         | 
         | Daytona automates the creation of the development environment
         | on any hardware, whether local or remote. It connects it to a
         | local instance of VS Code (or to a browser if preferred),
         | creates a VPN tunnel to the development environment, and adds a
         | reverse proxy so you can share it as well.
         | 
         | Furthermore, it is acknowledged that an architecture diagram is
         | missing, which would significantly aid in providing a clearer
         | explanation. Efforts will be made to address this as soon as
         | possible.
