How many of you are into selfhosting?

Well, I started my docker journey with docker compose. In the meantime I am using portainer as the frontend. This is very easy! I like it very much.

I dont know much about proxmox. My use case is only about docker. proxmox seems to be overkill for me. I do not need VM environments. I am good with a debian server running with ZFS and docker.

I’m going the proxmox route. Firewall, media, win VM, NAS… All in one. Need to find some decently powerful low power hardware first and 3D print a SSD tray for my old pc case.

So I have the more powerful machine running with Ubuntu Server (it always has issues with Debian and 13 turned out to be no different) and pi-hole which is much faster. Now I have to install gitea or similar and see what else I want to do.

Firewall/Router virtualization is not for beginners, though. This should run on a separate hardware from the rest of the services.

I was using Portainer up until recently, I switched to Dockge and the interface is more straightforward

I tried dockge but it is not for me. I very much like the features of portainer.

  • log files per container
  • user management with roles (e.g. “view only” role)
  • iphone app (yomo) to monitor containers (preferably with a “view only” user)
  • manage resp. detect and remove unused images, volumes, networks
  • update notification per container if an update is available
