I never understood how to use Docker, what makes it so special? I would really like to use it on my Rapsberry Pi 3 Model B+ to ease the setup process of selfhosting different things.
I’m currently running these things without Docker:
- Mumble server with a Discord bridge and a music bot
- Maubot, a plugin-based Matrix bot
- FTP server
- Two Discord Music bots
All of these things are running as systemd services in the background. Should I change this? A lot of the things I’m hosting offer Docker images.
It would also be great if someone could give me a quick-start guide for Docker. Thanks in advance!
I use ghcr, i have no issues pulling images from amazon ECR or wherever.
Docker got there first with the adoption and marketing.
Automation tools like ansible and terraform have existed for ages, and are great for running things without containers.
OCI just makes it a hell of a lot easier and portable
I’ve been using ansible as well and it’s great.
