What cool things do you do with docker?

So far I have whoogle-search, pi-hole, heimdall (just destroyed, need to start again Grrrrr) and portainer.

Still to be convinced about the need for docker as a home user, but was bored :smiley:

You don’t necessarily need docker to self host, but yes, docker is a lot easier :grin:

There’s a good page to find self hosted apps.

I personally have these:

  • matrix server (conduit) (using the AUR package, NOT docker)

I have these self hosted using docker:

  • kavita to manage e books
  • immich as a photo gallery
  • pihole DNS
  • actual budgeting (REALLY great app; self hosting is needed only for sync)
  • penpot for UI mockups
  • jitsi for video calling my family
  • neko for easily shareable virtual machines
    • I use m1k1o/neko:xfce for desktop, although you can have only browser shared too.

I have conduit (a matrix server) also hosted, but its on bare metal and not discord.

Next, I’m probably gonna self host Rustdesk, since I’m often requiring desktop access for fixing issues occasionally on family’s systems.

PS. I used docker (and kubernetes, helm) at work to manage services.

But since i discovered Proxmox and Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts i don’t use docker that often :slight_smile:

Advantages over docker? I will probably stick with docker on my main laptop, but will have a play with proxmox on another machine, over the weekend.

And thanks for the replies, keep them coming…!

I fnd it easier to install things (ok, via the scripts). A bunch of storage options, automatic backups. And every Container gets its own IP address, so you don’t have to deal with ports.

If you have more than one machine running Proxmox you can create a cluster and easily switch Containers between these machines. And there is also a nice Ui.

On top of that you can run Docker inside a Container :slight_smile:

@moxdrox - how the hell do you install proxmox on EnOS?

not at all. Purchased some older Lenovo ThinkCentre, and installed it there. Sorry for the confusion :frowning:

Thank god for that! I sshd into my server and tried to find it with yay - nothing in the repos, thought I was losing the plot (again!).
