Right, Docker can definitely be a daunting system to learn, but it’s the standard because it’s so reliable and flexible. I’ve been using CasaOS because it’s basically Docker on easy mode, with limited package support, but I’ve decided recently that I really should really just learn how to use Docker properly.
Comment on Selfhosting Overleaf
cichy1173@szmer.info 9 months agoI would guess that you need to learn more about Docker usage in general, rather than just looking for a Docker Compose file
Yeah, I don’t really like using Docker so I always go for easier option, but my friend uses Docker a lot and also had troubles with Overleaf.
Also, I’d like to point out that Overleaf’s hosting and pricing options are quite reasonable, especially if you’re working for a university or institution: www.overleaf.com/user/subscription/plans
I don’t work for university, but I am a student that needs Latex. Overleaf free plan got really bad, even my thesis cannot be compiled now and Overleaf pricing isn’t really great.

I know some Docker, even I built my own images, but I just don’t really like Docker.

Usually docker is the easiest option as you don’t have to install a lot of dependencies, then set up other services and databases and whatnot. Especially if you use docker-compose.

The easier option is hunting for Docker Compose…

A Docker Compose is literally just a bunch of Docker commands in yaml format. It’s IMHO much harder to mess around with a file format you fundamentally don’t understand.

I know, That’s why I said I always look for Docker Compose bc it is the easier option.

There’s even a website that translates it for you: www.composerize.com
