My thoughts on docker (lemmy.ml)

Hello! πŸ˜€
I want to share my thoughts on docker and maybe discuss about it!
Since some months I started my homelab and as any good "homelabing guy" I absolutely loved using docker. Simple to deploy and everything. Sadly these days my mind is changing... I recently switch to lxc containers to make easier backup and the xperience is pretty great, the only downside is that not every software is available natively outside of docker πŸ™ƒ
But I switch to have more control too as docker can be difficult to set up some stuff that the devs don't really planned to.
So here's my thoughts and slowly I'm going to leave docker for more old-school way of hosting services. Don't get me wrong docker is awesome in some use cases, the main are that is really portable and simple to deploy no hundreds dependencies, etc. And by this I think I really found how docker could be useful, not for every single homelabing setup, and it's not my case.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I let you talk about it in the comments, thx.

I ditched nix and install software only through portage. If needed, i make my own ebuilds.

This has two advantages:

  • it removes all the messy software: i am not going to install something if I can't make the ebuild becayse the development was a mess , like everything TS/node
  • i can install, rollback, reinstall, upgrad and provision (configuration) everything using portage
  • i am getting to know gentoo and portage in great details, making the use of my desktop and laptop much much easier
