Maybe eventually the whole stack can make its way into a docker container with a shell script for config.

Maybe it's just me but having dedicated employee's to manage security is a prerequisite for me; atleast I could point my finger at someone if things happen.

Of course it's not just you. That seems somewhat obvious. Also plenty of people that do like tinkering on their homelab or self host. It's definitely the more interesting choice!

I personally don't see the value in that. I'd rather spend time fixing something than getting people to fix it for me, and having someone just to point fingers at them after a failure feels cowardly. But maybe I'm just not a managerial type.

That's a time vs. outsourcing trade-off. When everything is working, it's invisible and great, but if something breaks, and if you're in the middle of the something, you either have to postpone it, or stop everything and fix the problem to be able to continue your life unaffected.

I'm into self-hosting, and host some of my services myself, but get some services too, because I have limited time and don't want to stop drop and roll when something breaks.

I completely understand the feeling, but when's the last time pointing fingers actually got you anywhere? :)

Sounds like a recipe for getting people with knowledge of security best practices and people with knowledge of the systems being developed, but not both at the same time.

It's enough different components to not be a good fit for an all-in-one image at all. That road lies madness.

docker-compose is a much better fit. That already exists. What we need is more people actually deploying and engaging (;
