When I read lists like this, I often wonder, what is this person doing with all these containers and such? Do they actually use all of them regularly?

I’ve got:

1 proxmox machine serving - Openmediavault - 2 shares (jellyfin, general smb shares) Homeassistant Uptimekuma for monitoring Jellyfin

And some misc VMs for trying out things.

1 pi4b - pihole 1 pi3a+ tailscale subnet router / exit node

I often look at lists of things i can host and think to myself “do I need this?”. This br8ngs me back to huge lists of services like this and my curiosity. Do folks actually interact with all these services regularly? Honest question, no shade intended.

Do folks actually interact with all these services regularly?

In my case, yep. I believe in as much separation between services as possible, so each service essentially resides on its own docker host, whether physical or Linux container.

That said, some of my services are stacks of multiple containers. For example. my DNS service is a pair of Pi-hole DNS servers, each running their own Pi-hole container, but each one also running containers for Cloudflare tunnel and telemtry export to Prometheus.

Immich has a stack of 6 containers, Piped a stack of 5. So, out of the 66 containers (that aren’t Portainer agent or Watchtower), it probably condenses down to around half that number (eg. the 25 docker hosts I have, plus a handful or two others).

  This is the way. Multiple simple dedicated systems is so much easier to maintain than a single “do everything” server.

    It’s what docker and Proxmox were born to do!

Regularly, probably not, just depends.

If you only spin things us to setup or learn something, no.

I run:

VMware ESXi, vCenter, VMware Log Insight, VMware OPS

DMVPN to remote locations like a desk switch at work and family member houses

Sophos UTM

Active Directory for my home computers

hybrid sync to MS Entra (Azure Active Directory) with Entra Connect

hybrid Exchange on Premise and Exchange online

Active Directory for management network

Security Onion VMs for IDS

Network monitoring like Elastiflow, PRTG

Docker, gitlab, OpenSalt / Saltstack

Trellix ePO for AV

Nessus vult scanners

Team Awareness Kit (TAK) server

Active Directory Certificate Services

Home media applications
