Hi! Question in the title.

I get that its super easy to setup. But its really worthwhile to have something that:

  • runs everything as root (not many well built images with proper useranagement it seems)
  • you cannot really know which stuff is in the images: you must trust who built it
  • lots of mess in the system (mounts, fake networks, rules…)

I always host on bare metal when I can, but sometimes (immich, I look at you!) Seems almost impossible.

I get docker in a work environment, but on self hosted? Is it really worth while? I would like to hear your opinions fellow hosters.

    Though this is more of a proxmox ease of use issue than docker, personally I swapped from it to pure debian server/host to run a similar manual setup with podman - so everything runs right on the host.

    In theory I think you can achieve this with proxmox ssh’ing into the host and just treating it like a usual debian
