Docker ideas reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Spectr3Sec · 2023-12-19 23:54 What services do people host via docker containers? I'm trying to learn docker container/volume/network management more but need ideas of what to throw on there, the end plan is to get to know k8s ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Legitimate_Farm_3095 · 2023-12-20 00:04 https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/search?q=what++should+i+host there's also the awesome self hosted list - link on the side bar ---------------------------------------------------------------------- clintkev251 · 2023-12-20 00:51 In k8s I host my media server (Plex, sonarr, radarr, Overseerr, etc), home automation (Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, Mosquitto, Node-Red, etc) Observability (Grafana, InfluxDB, Prometheus, Promtail, Loki), photo backup (Immich), and tons of services to support those (Traefik, Authelia, Rook-Ceph, Velero, etc.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- piersonjarvis · 2023-12-20 01:23 My favorite container to get started with is LibreSpeed. It's super simple as it's just a web page but still has a tangible interactive element that let's you troubleshoot network and whatnot. Volumes aren't really a thing with it so you can get used to docker without volume binds and move onto those later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Avanchnzel · 2023-12-20 01:32 A sample of what I use Docker for: JDdownloader2 *(download management)* linkding *(bookmark management)* Vaultwarden *(password management; in combination with the BitWarden client)* Paperless-ngx *(document management)* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SleepingProcess · 2023-12-20 01:35 > What services do people host via docker containers? An application(s) that can screw up a host if it get installed directly to a host or an application that isn't supported by a host. > I'm trying to learn docker container/volume/network management Make sure you do understanding difference between dockerfile & image & container. I recently figure out that a bunch of folks here don't understand how docker layers works, but it's really actually important ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Arbuzus · 2023-12-20 01:50 I'm curious why everyone is so into docker? Been using lxc containers for years. Seem to do the job just fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Shoddy_Hunter2609 · 2023-12-20 01:57 linkding and papeless-ngx are great to play and learn containers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Shoddy_Hunter2609 · 2023-12-20 02:01 I was the same like you. Seemed weird not to just directly install on the host. Until I tried it on a few services. It's just the standarization on how to deploy without dealing with special configurations, makes everything easier. Not worrying about conflicting dependencies, etc. ​ It's just convenient, nothing magical. Just convenient. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- clintkev251 · 2023-12-20 02:01 Docker and LXC are similar ideas, but docker docker images are far more distributable compared to LXC templates, so it makes sense that they're far more commonly used ---------------------------------------------------------------------- byehi5321 · 2023-12-20 03:29 Is jdownloader better than aria2?? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Avanchnzel · 2023-12-20 03:38 Well I just listed it here as an example of what I currently use, not because it's the best for everyone to use or anything. Personally I like the UI and the plugins for it. It suits my needs well. But I'm always trying out alternatives for various tools to see if I can improve something or discover a new preference for me. So thanks for mentioning aria2, will give that a look. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- captainmustard · 2023-12-20 04:57 all of them ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kmisterk · 2023-12-20 06:54 Thanks for your submission on selfhosted, Spectr3Sec. here at /r/selfhosted, we want to make sure everyone gets their chance to try out self-hosting their apps.

ALL OF THEM! The only thing installed in the host machine is docker ---------------------------------------------------------------------- botterway · 2023-12-21 23:29 I run these in docker: - Sonarr - Radar - Lidarr - Plex - JF - Qbt - get_iplayer - Damselfly - HomeAssistant - Elasticsearch - Kibana - Influxdb - grafana - Express vpn proxy container for the qbt - Paperless NGX And probably a couple of others I've forgotten. All on a synology DS1520 nas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- squatsforlife · 2023-12-22 07:37 I really enjoy installing things manually. I tried Docker but it was too easy if that makes sense.
