I love you Mr. Cargo Ship Whale. You make hosting servers so painless.I should start an IT business where I stand up Docker servers for people.
>>108515888Nice trips.This ship is painful on windows I had to reboot billions of times just to get it to work.
>>108515897I have my instances running on WSL2. It's worked pretty well but if you try to run Docker as a service it makes it so you can't get back into Docker Desktop unless you reboot with the startup service disabled.Probably should learn how to just do things from the CLI.
>>108515888Unless you own nothing but a laptop and are being happy about it rn, you should try proxmox if you want to see convinience.
>>108515888yeah docker containers are nice but docker itself is full bloat, I switched to podman on my personal machine and projects, a bit lighter and you can use docker and docker compose too.
>>108515888Docker blowsKubernetes is better
>>108515946Podman is the globohomo version of docker.The new versions have a hard dependency on netavark and aardvark which are written in Rust and depend on systemd.Not even once.
>>108515938Single Proxmox instances are manageable, clusters are painful to manage. I would recommend against using Proxmox for larger deployments.
>>108515950KEK
>>108515946OrbStack rules.
>>108515966Do you seriously believe Docker *isn't* globohomo?
>>108515950no?k8s is fine if you need multiple replicas, autoscaling, other blah blah corporate requiresfor selfhosting - docker is plenty
>>108515950They're not really competing since docker swarm died
>>108515888It honestly makes it brainless, especially with compose.Just pull the repo, docker compose up -d and you're off the races.
>>108515888>>108515938I have a single Proxmox server with ~5 Ubuntu VMs that serve multiple purposes. Unifi controller, Plex, etc.. These VMs barely take up 1% of the CPU I allocate to them, and I set a minimum of 2 GB Balooned to 8 GB. The resource demand is so low. Why should I consider docker? Would an alternative deployment be setting up a Ubuntu VM and installing docker on that, and then deploying my services that way?
>>108516540I just do an LXC container running Debian and put docker on that.And no I don't give a shit what nerds say about whether or nor its a good idea to run docker in an LXC. It works great for me.The reason I like this setup is I can abstract the software away from the system, and then I can further abstract my versioning so I get snapshots. That way, if I somehow ever fuck something up at the configuration level I can just roll back via Proxmox backup. They're pretty small for LXCs. For example, my SearXNG LXC is 700 mb per backup.
>>108515897why would you use docker on windows
>>108516198Docker is Globohomo LitePodman is Globohomo Max
>>108516641I guess docker containers save resources so you don't have to spin up multiple VMs per service like I do, and you can maintain separation of services instead of installing everything on a single VM like a retard.
>>108516670I put a Docker instance into a VM to run a single server but that was more for routing purposes (I didn't want to route the port that connected to that server to my host server's IP, I wanted a standalone IP I could forward to).
>>108516670That too, I separate most of my services by what I'm trying to accomplish. I do run Portainer in a single LXC, for instance, but everything on it is related to the *arrs, ombi, qbittorrent, and sabnzbd.Everything else gets their own LXC/vm so I can separate services, mounts, etc. That also means that from backup to backup I know exactly what should be inside.
I just use lxc with a few shell scripts to set up a new tainertoo lazy to learn whatever the hell docker does
>>108515888what kind of container orchestration would you recommend for a singular small team? k8s seems overkill
>>108517214I would just use Portainer.
>>108517214simples and what i use - dockge used to use portainer, but I like having my compose files stored nicely in foldersif you need role based access control and more features in general - komodo is greattried using, felt nice, but way overkill for my needs
