The problem is when one app requires a different apache(or some other random requisite) version than the other one, docker just deals with that so I don't have to. That's what I like about it.

Dependency hell is self-inflicted, but sparkle-junkie devs are complicit: it's their fault they don't know of long-term-support enterprise OSes and don't use one as a primary port.

Because with docker you don't even have to install and setup Apache and MariaDB. You run one command and it knocks out that whole process. Not go mention the security implications of completely seperating your software.

I can also speak from experience when I say it makes development and delivery of software soooo much easier. As a self hosted software developer I can promise you that if I created an instruction set to deploy the software I build bare metal rather than just containerizing it. No offense to fellow self hosters by any means, but if I require a multi step instruction set rather than a one liner docker command I will get more issues. Humans make mistakes, and when I can automate it out with container orchestration it absolutely makes it easier for the user.

I also had to think, but I went for CloudPanel. Fantastic server manager software from Germany. Reverse proxy my docker containers with it. Lean. Stable. Reliable.

Fuck cPanel or Plesk with their bullshit licenses.

I forwarded this to my neighbour who is really into self hosting, particularly home automation stuff - has a pretty awesome Home Assistant set up. First thing they said? "But I'm 70, this only goes to 69"

I told him in that case he must dismantle his self hosted servers immediately 😁

"No"

Yes it is, and there's a age old joke about docker being used for configuration management, which doesn't require a container system.

It asks this regardless of whether you say you use orchestration or not. I would say that docker compose, used as intended, is not a container orchestration platform as it provides no automated scaling or resiliency across nodes

I guess it depends on what "orchestration" means to you... 🤔

https://en.wikipedia.org/...

In system administration, orchestration is the automated configuration, coordination, deployment, development, and management of computer systems and software.

Docker compose pretty much seems to check every one of these boxes.

Mine started that way, with Linux + BTRFS RAID + samba, then I added minidlna, then Jellyfin, then a bunch of additional services.

I think the survey should distinguish between an off-the-shelf NAS (Synology, TrueNAS, etc) and DIY, ask about filesystems/RAID (ZFS, BTRFS, EXT + software RAID, hardware RAID, no RAID).

Not sure that's where I'd draw the line. Imho you have a server that also serves as a NAS. Before getting an explicit machine, my "NAS" was just NFS shares on my Proxmox host, which was also used to run all my VMs. It was backed by ZFS, but I don't see how that's relevant for it being a NAS or not.

sugar_in_your_tea 2 points a year ago

I was confused by the wording. It said something like, "do you have a NAS device on the network?" I don't have a dedicated NAS, I have a device that provides NAS services (samba share, RAID, etc), as well as a dozen or so services (source code forge, budgeting app, etc). It's all one device in my case, except for a handful of other services hosted elsewhere.

When given a yes or no in the middle of the survey, I'm left to guess what qualifies as a NAS device. I call mine a server that provides NAS services, though it was originally a NAS-only device (that's why I bought the drives).

I've been in several online discussions where people claim I don't have a "NAS device" because it's not a dedicated device, and some even claim it needs to be something off the shelf like Synology to count. I think what trips me up is the word "device".

I did not even consider that NAS might refer to a commercial device.

Making a raspberry pi host an always on hard drive with Samba and calling it Network Attached Storage was the first thing I ever self hosted.

Language is weird how it changes.

sugar_in_your_tea 2 points a year ago

The first thing I did was throw drives into my PC set up samba and minidlna so my SO and I could stream video to the TV.

But in an online discussion, someone made the argument that it needs to be a dedicated machine with unattended updates with providing storage as its only purpose or something to that effect. That seems overly limiting to me, but that seemed like a pretty common sentiment.

Surely there's a line somewhere between someone making a share on their PC or attaching a USB drive to their router and a commercial NAS device. I don't know where that line is, so I tend to be pretty conservative and assume a NAS device is dedicated to the purpose, whether DIY or purchased, but if it runs a bunch of other services, now it's a "server" and not a NAS.

That's why I'm suggesting the language here be more precise.
