  • Last time I looked (granted this was 7 or so years ago), it was pretty hard to find much, especially in English. Though German was worse, there were a few on-line retailers but because of (I’m guessing) copyright, they wouldn’t sell outside of Germany.

    I’d love to find a good alternative to Amazon…

  • 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?

  • IDK, the fuckass kind of gives it a ring, you know? Maybe fuckass Gulf of Mexico?

  • This is true for all of IT. I love IT - I've been into computer for 30+ years. I run a small homelab, it'll always be a hobby and a career. But yeah, for more and more people it's just a job.

  • 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.

  • Came here to say "No shit, what else is new" but you're absolutely right, this is for people who don't follow tech news.
