Comment on Should I move to Docker?

  You don’t actually have to care about defining IP, cpu/ram reservations, etc. Your docker-compose file just defines the applications you want and a port mapping or two, and that’s it.

  Example:

  ---
  version: "2.1"
  services:
    adguardhome-sync:
      image: lscr.io/linuxserver/adguardhome-sync:latest
      container_name: adguardhome-sync
      environment:
        - CONFIGFILE=/config/adguardhome-sync.yaml
      volumes:
        - /my/appdata/config:/config
      ports:
        - 8080:8080
      restart:
        - unless-stopped
  

  That’s it, you run docker-compose up and the container starts, reads your config from your config folder, and exposes port 8080 to the rest of your network.

    Oh… But that means I need another server with a reverse-proxy to actually reach it by domain/ip? Luckily caddy already runs fine 😊

    Thanks man!

      Most people set up a reverse proxy, yes, but it’s not strictly necessary. You could certainly change the port mapping to 8080:443 and expose the application port directly that way, but then you’d obviously have to jump through some extra hoops for certificates, etc.

      Caddy is a great solution (and there’s even a container image for it 😉)

        Lol…nah i somehow prefer at least caddy non-containerized. Many domains and ports, i think that would not work great in a container with the certificates (which i also need to manually copy regularly to some apps). But what do i know 😁
