A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I just start using my homelab to host some new good services, and I want to know what is the approach of a docker setup, what is the best distro for? How to deploy them correctly? Basically I'm a real noob in this subject. Thank you

Anything.

Personally I use Debian. But Docker doesn't care. I chose Debian because it is very stable and simple

And what is the good way of deploying it? After pulling the image, how do we autostart it etc...

The Docker documentation is pretty terrible, but it's a decent start. Start by looking at docker-compose.yml files for the services you want to run and the write-ups for those.

Something nobody ever told me, that I had to figure out myself, is that docker-compose.yml files can be placed anywhere you want.

Should I make the docker compose files or pull the image from hub.docker.com?

Your compose file will pull the image when you run it, from the registry it's in
