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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I see Docker mentioned every other thread and was wondering how useful it is for non development things, and if so what they are.

To bloat things, to lower the bar to newcomers, to appease the business goals of large cloud companies and eventually to provide some isolation, security and create stateless environments: https://lemmy.world/comment/8341439

“The thing with Docker is that people don't want to learn how to use Linux and are buying into an overhyped solution”

I stopped there. Thirty years of LINUX experience here. You’re a fool.

I read a bit further. You didn't miss anything important.

Just look at landscape around here and other "selfhosting" boards and you'll see what I'm saying.

I won’t, because I stopped there.

Your choice, you're the one believing that 100% of the people using Docker are as proficient and you and me and use it the right reasons. Guess what, they don't.

"how dare they use the right tool for the job without taking the time to learn how to do it sub optimally first"

Are you clairvoyant? I’m curious as to how you are aware of what I believe, beyond what I stated; that you’re a fool.

Your choice, you're the one believing that 100% of the people... Blah blah blah

Didn't be shitty. Telling somebody what they believe is shitty. Telling them they believe "100% of people do (anything)" is super shitty. And this whole shitty argument has nothing to do with docker.

Go be shitty elsewhere.
