- Portainer is practical, but I switched to Dockge and have been much happier with it. It doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles, but the simplicity makes the workflow much better for me. Give both a try!
- FreshRSS for RSS feeds, Lubelogger for tracking car (other other things) maintenance, Nginx Proxy Manager for a reverse proxy (or Caddy which is also popular). Whatever you fancy!
- Not sure.
Regarding domain name, use what you have. It’s super easy to change domain names, and some people do it regularly to take advantage of 1st year sales. Basically all you have to do is transfer your DNS entries to the new domain, and update your reverse proxy entries.
Definitely put everything behind a reverse proxy. I followed this advice so I don’t even have to expose ports using Docker. Everything runs through the reverse proxy, and Dockge makes it trivial add each container to the same network.
I had a similar progression except I haven’t heard of Dockhand until now. I’ll give it a look.
