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

I wrote a script to remove snaps and install Docker as per the docker website. Works great mate.

Plus you get the benefit of frequent updates.

One of their frequent updates completely broke docker on my system. Fortunately they did push the fix by the time I realized what happened.

Is that because you installed it via snaps instead of apt?

[–] numanair@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was from docker's apt repo, so a newer version than provided through Ubuntu's channels I assume.

APT install is the same for Debian as it is for Ubuntu. Ubuntu delivers docker through APT or Snap but defaults snap.

I don't need what Ubuntu offers to run server applications, and Debian is rock solid and predictable. Might as well go to the source since it's Debian all the way down anyway, just with added cruft.
