Integrate with artifacthub.io deployment artifacts
artifacthub.io is an existing cncf project that indexes deployment artifacts from different registries and projects. It was basically a bunch of helm charts at first and then grew to index all sorts of stuff, including container images like ours!
In order to deploy complex stacks on -dx we'd want to reuse as much as possible, so maybe instead of "let's collect a bunch of yaml and dotfiles from people" the play should be being able to consume those upstream deployment files so that we can do it more efficiently:
Examples:
- https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/nextcloud/nextcloud
- https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/bitnami/postgresql
Effectively just lamp-stack would be a synonym for whatever helm install blah is except we'd set it up to run on the local cluster or podman directly. Then we'd effectively have a server-side app store that's already run by a cloud native community. And also it makes sense that cloud native projects will continue to add more deployment artifacts there. Plus we can do webhooks and it's OSS so we can figure out cooler stuff!
But that's also a little overkill. If we can get people more interested in quadlets they'd be perfect for local development, then all we need to do is add quadlets to artifacthub and I mostly know how we can do that.
And then we can concentrate on the glue parts and quality of life!
