Welcome! I'm glad you've found this. If you haven't given containers a try yet, that will be the next thing that will blow your mind. But all in due time
Been working into docker. Running nginx proxy manager, paperless-ngx, WireGuard, adguard, bitwarden, Jellyfin, and a couple others right now. Some run in a container on the NAS, a couple on a pi, and the rest on the server. Much more to learn…
Let’s say you do like me and configure multiple LXCs and VMs in Proxmox to keep your services segregated, and you want to run Docker services on all of them… Portainer (plus Portainer Agent on all the different hosts) lets you manage deployment across everything from one central UI. That plus Watchtower on all your hosts to keep all your containers fresh and up to date, and Pushover to send you push notifications as updates are happening… it’s pure magic.
I need to be better about my docker deployment. Services running on 3 devices. Some docker, some docker-compose, and some were setup in portainer. It’s a bit of a mess tbh. Portainer agent sounds promising. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Go look at yacht.sh, I'm a dev there and you love the eaze of use.
Whats different compared to cosmos.io , runtipi, casaOS, and others?
Yacht is a docker manager like portainer is, not a hosting platform. It just manages your containers same as portainer.
