Hi! Question in the title.

I get that its super easy to setup. But its really worthwhile to have something that:

  • runs everything as root (not many well built images with proper useranagement it seems)
  • you cannot really know which stuff is in the images: you must trust who built it
  • lots of mess in the system (mounts, fake networks, rules…)

I always host on bare metal when I can, but sometimes (immich, I look at you!) Seems almost impossible.

I get docker in a work environment, but on self hosted? Is it really worth while? I would like to hear your opinions fellow hosters.

    What’s wrong with podman?

    It’s still many many years away. Just think about there being still fortran or assembly code

      Probably nothing, I have never tried it… but docker compose feels so comfortable right now and relearn everything… uuhhg !

        I had to add :Z to the paths in the docker compose files for selinux.
