I never understood how to use Docker, what makes it so special? I would really like to use it on my Rapsberry Pi 3 Model B+ to ease the setup process of selfhosting different things.
I’m currently running these things without Docker:
Mumble server with a Discord bridge and a music bot
Maubot, a plugin-based Matrix bot
FTP server
Two Discord Music bots
All of these things are running as systemd services in the background. Should I change this? A lot of the things I’m hosting offer Docker images.
It would also be great if someone could give me a quick-start guide for Docker. Thanks in advance!
Docker can be many things - and portainer is a nice replacement for those using docker for running services. It’s got a great web interface. For automation and most development docker and compose is my pick. Also a good fit for those that only use X to spawn terminals.
