This is 2015 all over again where IoT hit mainstream consumers and every project on Kickstarter was a simple thing that doesn’t need Bluetooth with added Bluetooth.

I have setup NetBird with Authentik. Netbird is on a VPS and authentik on my home server.

NetBird allows to expose a service through a subdomain. Or you can use the netbird client as a VPN and allow peer to peer connection.

That is way above my database knowledge. I will need to read up on that.

Thanks for the input

You say it’s easier to back up tightly coupled services and databases, but why?

Because it is set and forget in my docker compose. I can backup the container and bring it down without affecting other services.

But that is my inexperience talking and this is is why I wanted to see what other people were doing, and having perspective like yours to learn.

That’s a good perspective.

Also I hate docker in general. I understand why people use it. It’s the same reason I use it.

I am the same. But many services offer docker as the main installation method and many times, the bare metal method is poorly documented.

So docker it is. And it’s a good skill to have no matter what since it is so widespread.

I never thought about the issues of setting a docker service with an external database. I don’t mind dealing with the users and tables of a database, but having to dig deep in docker compose settings is always a bad time.
