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.

Should I be learning docker compose instead of relying on dockStarter to manage my containers? I got portainer up, should I just use that to manage my stack?

I’m committed this summer to finally learning docker. I’m on day 3 and the last puzzle piece is being able to access qbittorrent locally while running the container through the vpn.

N number of EXISTING nodes. Proper container orchestration platforms handle all the provisioning of instances, scaling of services, IAM...etc.

Docker Swarm (and all Docker tools) only handle...Docker.

Swarm is another thing I would never recommend in production.

That's not container orchestration, that's infrastructure orchestration. Depending on your use case docker swarm could just the right tool for the job.

You've been using Aws and they will happily let you add more nodes to your container runner of choice

No, it's container orchestration. As-in "I orchestrate all the scaling needed to run and scale the containers".
