LiteBin has multi-node support but a simpler deployment flow. From my local machine, I build a custom Docker Compose image with profile customizations for Hermes, compress it, and send it directly to the VPS for deployment — no Docker image registry needed. This simplifies things, but it has its own set of problems.

Our custom image was a 900MB tar file that needs to go from my machine to the VPS. The current image upload doesn't support resumability. If it stops mid-way, I have to start over from scratch. I added a retry to the LiteBin CLI today — earlier, after 3 failed uploads it would exit and I'd have to recreate the image too. Now at least it retries the upload without rebuilding.

These experiments are helping me find the gaps in LiteBin and see the real use cases as well.
