I’m a Windows guy since forever and I recently got into selfhosting. So far its a blast! Are posts about that welcome here?

    Now, let me be polemical here …

    (And this is to be read with a pinch of /s)

    Selfhosting on windows and understanding what you do is so much better than selfhost on CasaOS/ZimaOS/FancyWebGui/Synology and just spin up containers randomly without even understand what a container is and how it does work at all …

    Now roast me :)

      Didnt find any /s there. That’s one of the reasons why I dislike docker, it supports not understanding stuff. But then that’s just me, who wants to understand stuff. Enabling less tech savvy ppl is also great I guess.

        I feel with you, but at the same time I remember trying to setup Apache Guacamole and failing miserably. Doing it now with docker would remove everything that made me fail 10 years ago.

        Lowering the entry barrier is a good thing… Self hosting need critical mass to support and use all the nice things we like to selfhost

        More so, from the point of view of big tech independence, for those who care, again lowering the barrier is very important

        So welcome to docker and stuff, I use docker for half my stuff or more, it’s just so much more convenient.

        But never stop trying to understand and don’t be a passive docker-puller whenever possible :)
