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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Interesting. Could you expound on why that option, and what some pros and cons would be?
Hosting things in docker separates then from the OS and makes upgrading safer and easier.
Eventually, you'll want to update your OS. If the software is right on the OS, you might break it. If it's in docker and the machine breaks, run the container on another machine.
If you upgrade your software and it breaks, in docker you just go back to the previous container. It's still there and hasn't changed. If the software is on your OS directly, an uninstall and reinstall might work, but might not.
The simplest and most pragmatic option.
thank you sir
