Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

For normal docker self hosters the biggest is similar structures across their images.
It config is always /config
Also they run the same user so it helps with file permission issues

Hmm, never looked at it this way. I might start using their images too.
Questions about the user:
1- Their docs says it may be risky to run the app as root. Is the root in the docker container same as root of the host? I thought it was root but only in the container, separate from the host root's namespace.
2- And in terms of volume ownership: if I'm using Docker volumes instead of bind mounts, do I care about that? I haven't had an issue so far.
