Before I dabbled a bit with Docker. I wanted to dabble a bit with Podman because it seemed quite interesting. I reinstalled Pi OS Lite on my Pi 3B+ and installed Podman. Then I figured out what to run and started digging through the documentation. Apparently Docker containers work quite similar and even Docker compose can be used. Then I came across the auto update function and stumbled upon quadlets to use auto update and got confused. Then I tried reading up on Podman rootless and rootful and networking stuff and really got lost.

I want to run the following services:

  • Heimdall
  • Adguard Home
  • Jellyfin
  • Vaultwarden
  • Nextcloud

I am not sure a Pi is even powerful enough to run these things but I am even more unsure about how to set things up. Do I use quadlets? Do I run containers? How do I do the networking so I can reach the containers (maybe even outside my home)?

Can someone point me in the right direction? I can’t seem to find the needed information.

    Thanks! Looks interesting. I am not quite a fan of the performance hit a VPN brings but I feel like it’s something that I need to deal with in order to suit my usecase. I thought DDNS could help me out.

    Yeah I might switch back to Docker and use Watchtower to auto update. Thank you again!

      Oh, well yeah, you can do that too. In fact, you may not even need a DDNS. I don’t have one for my fedi server, and I only ever had to change the IP on my DNS after we got hit by an earthquake and all of the local datacenters went out.

      I choose not to do the DNS option for 90% of the things I host. Partly because my ISP has limitations on which ports can be exposed and, in general, I prefer not to expose any ports especially when I am serving up my own data.

      But that’s just my paranoia talking. :cat_rock_on:
