"Hi Hacker News, I’ve always found Docker to be overkill for simple Python deployments. It's heavy, complex for non-tech users, and often results in 500MB+ images for a 10KB script. That’s why I built Pygantry. It’s a minimalist 'container' engine based on Python venv but made portable and relocatable. Key features: Lightweight: A full 'shipped' app is usually < 20MB. Zero-Config: No daemon, no root, no Dockerfile complexity. Portable: Build once, zip it, and run it anywhere with a Python interpreter. Founder friendly: Built-in licensing and stealth modes for those building a business. I built this to simplify my own VPS deployments. I'd love to get your feedback on the architecture and how you handle 'Docker-fatigue' in your workflow.
