Selfhosted
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.

Not a bad idea, but I’ll warn you that the addiction for homelabs is strong.
Oh believe me I know. Hence getting more mini pcs and wanting a NAS. 10 vms is not enough!
You are going to want a single larger server and docker
Much easier maintenance
If you’re crazy, you’ll go with Kubernetes . I personally recommend it., I love it.
But I also work in it every day, so there’s a convenience there, but the complexity is off the charts .
I don’t like the idea of a single large server. If a node fails, everything goes tits up. If I have multiple nodes and one fails, my other services have zero downtime.
Convince me otherwise - I don’t work in this industry I teach boomers how to use MS Word haha.
Ahhhh now you’re talking kubernetes.
I mean you can do it with 2 machines and docker compose, but yeah.
If you have a docker compose, you can just bring it to a new machine with the storage medium and hit “go” and it’ll go.
That’ll probably be enough for a home setup and have a 1 hr downtime in a failure.
If you want “always hot” kubernetes is basically “multi-node docker on cocaine “
Damn, that addiction is strong lol.
I’m happy to help where I can but it’s a FUCKTON of knowledge and setup to go far enough to kubernetes it.
Docker-compose is 100x easier and gets you 95% of what you need.
I’ve always had issues with docker, especially when running it on a proxmox vm. I get weird network issues where when docker runs, the whole vm is cut off from network access (but my docker containers have internet). I also have problems with updates. Maybe it’s the whole virtual-ception of it all, a vm running docker running an application.
So far I’ve been getting by with running containers for every service (or VMs when I needed a gui since command line for certain things is tough.
That sounds like your local network IP’s are conflicting with the default docker IP addresses.
What is your routers subnet?
Should be 192.168.2.0/24
Check what your docker subnets are, but that shouldn’t conflict.
