Been working into docker. Running nginx proxy manager, paperless-ngx, WireGuard, adguard, bitwarden, Jellyfin, and a couple others right now. Some run in a container on the NAS, a couple on a pi, and the rest on the server. Much more to learn…
Let’s say you do like me and configure multiple LXCs and VMs in Proxmox to keep your services segregated, and you want to run Docker services on all of them… Portainer (plus Portainer Agent on all the different hosts) lets you manage deployment across everything from one central UI. That plus Watchtower on all your hosts to keep all your containers fresh and up to date, and Pushover to send you push notifications as updates are happening… it’s pure magic.
Just a side question, what are pros of having docker around on various hosts compared with having one dedicated docker host?
As I said, I’m kind of a mess. I added containers while adding devices so segregating wasn’t necessarily my intention. That said, I will most likely keep DNS and DHCP on a single dedicated device. That, for some reason, makes sense to me. The rest I may move together except for the vpn services. I will run the 2 on different devices in case one service gets blocked by the external network I’m trying to connect from. I already ran into this once where WireGuard got blocked but OpenVPN did not.
