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!
Install Portainer, it helps you get used to managing docker images and containers before going full command line.
I actually prefer dockge, I only have a few containers and its a lot simpler while still able to do all the basics of docker management. Portainer was overkill for me.
I have a pile of containers both for selfhosting and for dev builds, and still wouldn’t use Portainer.
I learned on portainer. I just wish it worked better. Dockge is a much better solution anyways
