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.

I am running everything in docker compose so I've never found a use to it that justifies the waste of power
docker-compose doesn't scale well and if you run it natively it is a little less secure.
Virtualization adds 1-2% of overhead at most and gives you way more control of how the hardware is used.
If you setup is small docker-compose might be easier to manage but as soon as you get more hardware it becomes the limiting factor. I still use docker-compose but now I run it in a VM
I switched from docker compose to pure Ansible for deploying my containers. Makes managing config and starting containers across multiple hosts super easy. I considered virtualizing too but decided it didn't offer me enough advantages. If I ever have an issue with the host OS I just reinstall using a preseed file and then rerun my playbooks and it's ready to go.
