A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I just start using my homelab to host some new good services, and I want to know what is the approach of a docker setup, what is the best distro for? How to deploy them correctly? Basically I'm a real noob in this subject. Thank you

Are they starting automatically at boot?

EDIT : how do you run a container with a simple name instead of using his id?

Yes - they'll start automatically. There are other options for "restart" that define the behavior.

You can give whatever you like to "servicename" and use that rather than the ID.

For example:

docker run -d --name mysite --restart unless-stopped nginx

docker stop mysite

docker start mysite
