Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷
Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.
Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)
mariadb (database for services that require mysql)
postgres (database for services that require postgres)
Server 2 (ThinkCentre M93p, Intel i5-4570, 20GB RAM)
omada-controller (controller for my tp-link router/switches/aps)
home assistant (control smart devices, setup automations)
airsonic (stream my music)
airsonic-refix (an alternative GUI for airsonic)
paperless-ngx (searchable document archive, I keep manuals and some receipts and tax documents)
redis (dependency for some services)
lidarr (manages music and auto downloads monitored artists/albums)
jackett (manages torrent trackers and can combine them into one query for things like lidarr/sonarr/etc.)
openbooks (download ebooks for my paperwhite)
sabnzbd (client for usenet downloads, integrates into lidarr/sonarr/etc.)
sonarr (manages tv shows and auto downloads them)
esphome (makes flashes firmware on devices easier)
agendav (web calendar, integrates with baikal or any caldav service)
baikal (keeps my calendar and contacts)
photoprism (photo manager, prefer over immich until immich has better read only integration)
stash (nsfw)
deluge (torrent client, integrates with lidarr/sonarr/etc.)
portainer (GUI to manage docker services)
dozzle (docker log viewer)
nginx proxy manager (use it to set subdomains for the services… E.g. arisonic.home.lan)
wallabag (save webpages for later viewing, doesn’t seem to work on a lot of sites so I usually just use SingleFile and save to a folder on the NAS instead so I might down this)
syncthing (mainly use it to backup all the photos and /sdcard/ dir on my phone, but also keep some configs synced between laptops/desktops)
adguardhome (backup to the other adguard dns)
nginx
Homer dashboard (my favorite dashboard, but been looking at homepage lately)
DokuWiki (favorite wiki, prefer the classic styling)
minimalist-web-notepad (very fast and easy notes for quick and temporary notes)

Can you clarify some of the things you got stuck on with podman? I currently have a docker-compose based setup that I’m pretty happy with, but am rebuilding and am planning to experiment with podman play with k8s-style manifests as an alternative to compose. It’s still not clear to me whether podman is going to simplify my life or make it worse compared to docker and compose, and I’m curious about your insights and why you backed off from that architecture.
Basically I ran into issues with building images from newer and more complex compose files that podman-compose just couldn’t pull apart.
Docker is still the go-to if you want shit to ‘just work’, it has an easier user experience, it’s what the vast majority of developers building containers are using. You can run rootless if you want without too much pain.
It has come a long way but the probability that you’ll run into some random edge case or other issue with podman is higher, podman-compose has some thorns (high likelihood you’ll need to hack on compose files), if you want containers to start without your interaction you have to bake up systemd unit files for them, etc. I’ve not messed with podman-kube-play - wasn’t even aware of it, so can’t really comment as to how well that works.
There’s nothing to lose by giving it a go except your sanity and time. 😁

As someone who’s used Podman for a while, though possibly not as extensively as you, what was it you hit that needed Docker? So far I’ve gotten everything to work with Podman, though sometimes I’ve had to RTFM and specify some extra command line parameters.

Plex, nzb/sonarr/lidarr/radar/, homeassistant, AD, vpn, teamspeak, lemmy, a blog, wifi controller, cert authority, Pi-hole, mail relay, all data/files etc, backups of email from workspace, zabbix for monitoring, miniflux, windows update cache, quicken server
All running locally on a 2008 lenovo core 2 duo with 2gb, 1 120gb SSD, 1 1tb HDD and 1 250gb HDD…couldn’t open the services to the web since my ISP blocks every port (except 52180 udp) even if I open them in the router sothey can change the double on a fixed IP withppen ports in their “enterprise” package
openvpn as a backup (and because i went through the highly laborious process of setting it up)
wireguard
nitter (twitter alternative frontend. makes twitter usable)
audiobookshelf (podcast manager)
pihole (block ads by dns)
nginx for my website and some related website stuff
Vaultwarden (sometimes. I usually keep it off because I prefer KeepassXC anyway)
The hardware is a 10 year old Thinkpad. I think it’s pretty clear by my software list that I don’t ask it to do much, but it does so much for me. Like, I wouldn’t run Jellyfin off of this thing. In fact my NAS is 4x8TB drives but I keep it mostly shut off. It’s powered on maybe about once or twice a week for a few hours at a time. I try to batch my activity with it. Like “oh, yeah, I want file X but it’s on my NAS. Maybe later, when I have a need for file Y I will turn it on and retrieve both.”
I can achieve everything I want with even lower spec hardware, but this Thinkpad has a faulty trackpad anyway, which is also how I got it for cheap. I have never measured it, but supposedly it consumes around 6W at idle which is low enough for me.

Thanks for the insights. I’ll see how it goes.

I’ve never used podman but always wondered if it was able to use the host’s network stack to perform things like sending ICMP packets.
Does send to kindle go through amazon?
Wouldn’t you have your kindle disconnected from the net since ur pirating?

Amazon has always turned a blind eye to the ‘send to kindle’ backdoor for getting pirated content onto the kindle

Probably more.
Nice - what are you using to cache windows updates? LANcache?
Straight up wsus with a nightly script to keep it from fucking itself up.
AD and wsus? Do you need a paid license to run that?
My job pays for a visual studio dev kit that gets windows server keys. Though I may move to samba 4 And just drop wsus entirely
Thank you for your service
Uhhhhh, I would need to shell into my host and check what isn’t running…

Lazy is good… I try not to think about the time I’ve invested in this stuff

So far, a small amount. I just upgraded to my busted RPi to a refurb Optiplex 9020 and got brave enough to finally try out Docker 😂
I’ve got it on Tailscale along with my Synology NAS and the rest of my machines.
Love this community for all the ideas and guidance I get looking at other setups!

What’s deleting? I have never heard of such concept.
Haha. Said the hoader with tonnes of content he’s never going to finish watching.
