I know nothing about docker. I have a handful of VMs(Jitsi, pfsense,VPN). Want to be able to set up useful self-hosted services at home without killing my family downtime.
My current plan: yunohost https://yunohost.org/ and a RPi4 to see the possibilities. Then if I see a rock solid requirement maybe go for something more specific. (NixOS config seems interesting...)
Seem fair?
And in the end it isn't a formfactor standardised and stackable solution.
You've sold me on this one. Thank you!
I went the docker route for home and I don’t recommend it. It’s too high maintenance to keep up to date, it’s over engineered for the home. I’ve since switched to proxmox and vms/lxc.
I was hoping to keep things simple. To start with. Docker+compose on a linux image seems like only "one" system to learn and there seems to be a whole library of prebuilt docker images for most services I could want to run.
Not sure how well the "image library" translates to proxmox.
Also not sure how the Trust(images from online source) Vs Capability (roll my own secure image) balance works out.
Well, nothing says I have to keep proxmox forever so I will try it out and go from there. Thank you for your time!
I have not tried yunohost, but the interface looks nice.
docker is not required, but docker + docker compose, on an RPi4, with auto-restart of failed containers has been very solid for me.
Simply using Docker and Docker-compose on RPi linux may indeed be what I am after to start with. A commandline + YAML file is totally fine! Thanks!
Docker Compose has worked great for me so far. I'm not sure about Nix.
