I bet you’re the type to follow the docker install instructions*, arent you?
Thank you, I think the Cult of Docker does more harm than good for the selfhosting community in the long run as it encourages copy/paste admins. Manually installing services in LXC gives you all the advantages of Docker plus the full control of a VM or bare metal install.
As a long time working the ops side of things as a Unix/Linux admin, I love docker with k8s. The devs. can have whatever kind of ignorant environment setup they want. As long as the final image passes security, is up to date, and I can define the deployment parameters, it’s 100% on them how well it works in production.
As I said, not a fan of Docker, but 8ks are really interesting and I want to learn more. I like especially the fact I can configure “pods” (is that the right term?) that multiply over different containers and hardware based on load and demand. The idea of a self-replicating swarm of threads is fascinating to me.
But using a docker to run mariadb and another docker to run a photo app and another docker to run a web server that connects over a docker network… and all this runs inside a VM, it’s wasted overhead to me. Especially today where everyone can run proxmox and vmware at home for free.

God I hate Docker. It’s a great system for lazy devs to NOT learn how to deploy software.
(I love LXC containers and QEMU, tho)
I’ve found my people!

Docker is awesome for real production environments but trains home users to just copy/paste/enter random shit from the internet.

Oh wow, aren’t you a cranky removed. I didn’t say you "should " do anything, I linked a tool I’ve constantly been told good things about.
You know what they say about when you assume, you turn out to be an ignorant dipshit.
