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

Yep, Debian and then add Portainer - for me this is the easiest setup to manage.

would prefer to not use portainer

I love the one click pull from git option. Don't like the corporate direction they seem to be taking.

I haven't seen aby alternative docker GUI managers that have the git pull for the compose.

I can appreciate this. You might want to look at Lazydocker as a SSH TUI management tool.

I just said what works best for me. Use the command line and compose files if you want.
