    I’m the opposite because I’ve had nothing but bad luck with docker. I should really spend more time with it but ugh

      It’s definitely worth learning. I had the damnedest time with docker until I went to a meetup and had someone ELI5 to me. And it wasn’t that I wasn’t technical. I just couldn’t wrap my head around so many layers of extraction.

      The guy was very patient with me and helped me get started with docker compose and the rest is history.

      Try running portainer. Gives you a nice management GUI. Docker didn’t unlock for me until I started using portainer.

        Portainer is huge and could be frustrating because too many settings. I prefer tools like dockge, yacht, or casaOS.

          Huge is an exaggeration. And if you’re doing a GUI, I’m under the impression that more GUI control > less GUI control. But either way - different strokes….

        Honestly portainer isn’t really necessary as you can just have some folders with docker compose.

      I’m like that. It feels like a total waste of resources, and introduces unneeded complexity for backup, updates, file access, networking and general maintenance.

      I would take a deb repo over docker any day of the week.
