Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps
mrnobody@reddthat.com 14 hours agoWell, I’ll share an example. Choosing between Traccar and OwnTracks. I’ve run a lot of stuff on Raspberry Pis, I like it, but, do I keep setting up new devices just to continue more devices or do I dump some for a Linux desktop and move a lot to containers? But that’s more work lol. Aren’t there different versions of docker, too? I recall fucking a service up one time using the wrong documentation once.
I think part of my problem is I’ve pieced stuff together slowly and it feels like a fragile balance, but at work I’ve got more access to resources… And budget lol

I paid around 200€ for a used HP OEM desktop machine. It got a i7 9700 and 32 GB of RAM in it. Still idles at a pretty low power consumption. But I never have to worry about resources, haha. I come from a long history of windows, just recently switched one of my main PCs over to Linux. I like a GUI, still. I got unraid for my server, back when the lifetime licences were still the norm. Makes it really easy to manage services, especially in conjunction with storage (say Immich or Navidrome). Containers and VMs are managed via a GUI and super easy to set up. I work IT-adjacent, but I’m far from being as professional as probably most people here, so this works fine for me.
