Show HN: Eac-d – lightweight push-to-deploy for self-hosted Proxmox LXC (Go)

I got tired of setting up full CI/CD pipelines for small self-hosted projects, so I built eac-d: two small Go binaries that get your build output onto a Proxmox LXC container with minimal ceremony.

How it works: - eacd (client) hashes your build output, sends only changed files as a delta (SHA-256 + tar.gz) to eacdd (daemon on the CT) - Daemon reconciles system state: packages, systemd services, users - Hooks for pre/post deploy, automatic rollback via Proxmox snapshots - eacd init can provision a fresh LXC container via the Proxmox API - ENV variable support for 12-factor style config

Opinionated and does one thing. Not trying to replace Ansible or Terraform — different layer entirely. Built for the 80% case where you just want to ship a binary to a container without the overhead.

Early stages, happy to hear what's missing for your use case.
