Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
I’m currently running three hosts with a collection of around 40 containers.
one is the house host, one is the devops host, and one is the AI host.
I maintain images on the devops host and deploy them regularly. when one goes down or a container goes down, I am notified through mqtt on my phone. all hosts, services, ports, certs, etc are monitored.
no problems here. git gud I suppose?

And honestly, 40 isn’t even impressive. I run more than that on one host. Containers make life so much easier is unreal.

Once you understand them, I suppose its easier. I’ve got a mix of win10, Linux VMs, RPis, and docker.
Having grown up on Windows, it’s second nature now and I do it for work too. I stated on Linux only around 2010 or so but kept flipping between the2 . anymore, trying to cut the power bill and went RPi but also trying to cut others and so docker is still relatively new in the last few years. Understand that I also do it few and far between at times on projects so is hard to dedicate time to learn enough to be comfortable. It also didn’t help I started on Docker Desktop and apparently everyone hates that and may have been a part of my problem adopting it.

I probably also started with linux seriously around that time frame. I was also a Windows admin back then. Transitioning to Linux and containers was the best thing ever. You get out of dependency hell and having kruft all over your filesystem. I’m extremely biased though, I work for Red Hat now. Containers and Linux are my day job.

Dang, how’d you make that transition? Are you a dev or SWE?
