Fair enough, would love to read something like this :-)

Yeah, I’ve been into Linux for 20 years, sometimes a bit on/off, as an all-around-sysadmin in mainly Windows places. And learned just enough of Docker to use it instead of apt - which I’d prefer, but as you said, many newer services don’t exist in debian repos or as .deb packages, only docker or similar.

Follow-up question: do you have any good resources to start with for a simple overview on how we should be using containers? I’m not a developer, and from my experiences most documentation on the topic I’ve come across targets developers and devops people. As someone else mentioned, I use docker because it’s the way lots of things happen to be packaged - I’m more used to the Debian APT way of doing things.

Honestly, I never really thought of installing Docker directly on Proxmox. I guess that might be a simpler solution, to run Dockers directly, but I kind of like to keep the hypervisor more stripped down.

It’s a dedicated server (a small Dell micro-pc). Thanks for the comment, I understand the logic, I was approaching it more from an end-user perspective of what’s easier to work with. Which given my skill set are LXC containers. I have a VM on top of Proxmox specifically for Docker :-)

Yup, this is me exactly. I’ve been planning on going more indepth but haven’t found the time. Inunderstand Linux and how to use LXCs, docker less so.

Ghostfolio looks really neat, thanks! I wonder, can it import data from say Interactive Brokers?

Seconding Caddy. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now in an LXC and it’s been very easy to setup, edit and run.

I’ve been using Inbox.eu, provider from Latvia, for a few years now, specifically with my own domain. Was pretty easy to setup, and the support was also good when I messed up some DNS settings.

I’d say CPU doesn’t matter in terms of compatibility, but that AMD does have the edge at the moment on Intel in terms of performance, energy use, etc. Especially considering Intel’s problems with their 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs.

To add to this, I think in general AMD offers a bit better bang-for-buck at the moment, at least in the low and mid-tiers.
