What is crater?
crater is an open source web application designed to help the developer community build containers faster and with better practices.
Using a crowd-sourcing model users are able to upload, rate, and use container scripts from a centralized location.
Why is crater open source?
The team behind crater is a firm believer in the open source community, and while this application may have little use to be self-hosted, forks and modifications to the source code may help suit other needs. The crater team also likes to see the inner-workings of applications and believe that other developers may find benefit in seeing the application architecture or code used in this project to help build the next big thing. This application was able to be built due to many open source projects such as node, mysql, many npm projects, and much, much more. crater uses no proprietary code or tooling.
