Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷
Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.
Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)
What about you?

Nothing too crazy. I use Proxmox on hardware that used to be a gaming rig (4th gen Intel) and I upped the RAM to 32GB.
- Plex
- Home Assistant
- NextCloud
- VM to host Duplicati + Samba which backs up some shared storage.
- VM that contains the extremely specific build environment for one of my mechanical keyboards
- VM that contains my ESP Home environment.
- VM for Docker based web development because as good as WSL is, it still sucks sometimes.
Some of my “VMs” are actually LXCs but I can’t remember which are which at the moment.
Playing with ZFS was fun too, and it puts all that RAM to good use!
I’ve also been meaning to create a VM for Dokku, but I haven’t had a strong enough need yet.

Everything is running in containers on an Unraid server
- 24 TB usable (16 TB parity drive)
- 1 TB nvme Cache Drive
- Intel i3-12100T
- Fractal Node case
With disks at idle/spun down, it consumes roughly 25W.
I have a very similar setup minus the iot and metric related services. I’m managing the services with Docker Compose on unRAID.
What’s the reasoning behind using docker compose on unraid, instead of the built in docker implementation?
For a couple reasons
-
Store and version configs in git. I realize unRAID provides flash drive backup (using git also), but this allows me to spin up my setup on another machine that may not be running unRAID. Helped recently when I switched away from Proxmox.
-
Allows me to group services with their dependencies. ( e.g. postgres, redis, etc ) Also can help isolate service groups from each other. Avoiding port conflicts on common db ports for example. Downside being may have more than one database, redis, etc.
Note, there is an unRAID docker compose plugin so you can still get easy access management buttons to start, stop, view logs, and edit services.
-
Personally I use it for a couple services that would be difficult to run separately (ie: deemix + lidarr). I’m also planning on moving all of my services with databases over to compose. I do lose a couple other QOL features but I still prefer this approach to start/stop all related containers instead of manually having to close each one.
Can you elaborate on your host?
What exactly?
Proxmox host running on a Dell Inspiron laptop with a 6th gen i3 and 12GB RAM, 120GB SSD

Home Assistant runs in its own VM (HAOS), the rest run in a Ubuntu Server VM.

Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷
Can you clarify some of the things you got stuck on with podman? I currently have a docker-compose based setup that I’m pretty happy with, but am rebuilding and am planning to experiment with podman play with k8s-style manifests as an alternative to compose. It’s still not clear to me whether podman is going to simplify my life or make it worse compared to docker and compose, and I’m curious about your insights and why you backed off from that architecture.
Basically I ran into issues with building images from newer and more complex compose files that podman-compose just couldn’t pull apart.
Docker is still the go-to if you want shit to ‘just work’, it has an easier user experience, it’s what the vast majority of developers building containers are using. You can run rootless if you want without too much pain.
It has come a long way but the probability that you’ll run into some random edge case or other issue with podman is higher, podman-compose has some thorns (high likelihood you’ll need to hack on compose files), if you want containers to start without your interaction you have to bake up systemd unit files for them, etc. I’ve not messed with
podman-kube-play- wasn’t even aware of it, so can’t really comment as to how well that works.There’s nothing to lose by giving it a go except your sanity and time. 😁
Thanks for the insights. I’ll see how it goes.

So far, a small amount. I just upgraded to my busted RPi to a refurb Optiplex 9020 and got brave enough to finally try out Docker 😂
