LFS?

This is true. However many big maintained public images are multi-arch so down for ARM, and the fact that Docker runs in a VM on Windows and OSX when you install it doesn’t matter to most people. On Linux indeed it reuses the host’s kernel (which is why containers can be a lot lighter than VMs)

It’s not NAS specific, it’s platform independent - that’s the whole point. You have an application you want to run, and you package it all up into a docker image which contains not only the application but it’s dependencies and their dependencies all the way down to the OS. That way you don’t need to worry about installing things (because the container already has the application installed), all you have to do is allocate some resources to the container and it’s guaranteed* to work

*nothing is ever as simple as it first appears

One area where this is really helpful is in horizontally scaling workloads like web servers. If you get a bunch more traffic, you just spin up a bunch more containers from your server image on whatever hardware you have laying around, and route some of the traffic to the new servers. All the servers are guaranteed to be the same so it doesn’t matter which one serves the request. This is the thing kubernetes is very good at.

Edit: see caveats below

What exactly is Hyprland? I looked at the site quick but I couldn’t quite figure it out from the description.

Disclaimer: I’ve only ever used Linux servers, not really as a desktop beyond vanilla Ubuntu

Yep, k8s is for people who need regular capacity scaling and high availability. Self hosting images is a static website, perfect for an S3 bucket or similar

I don’t really see the benefit. Comments are always in the context of the post, remove that context and the comments will be hard to follow.

it can be useful for tracking bad actors and blocking them from access.

I’m also browsing on mobile (Safari though), and I have a little minus sign in a box beside the username for each comment, which can be used to collapse the thread below.
