What to people use and recommend for this? I’ve read a bit about portainer, but I’m still learning - and don’t know what the best solutions are.
Today I have a handful of selfhosted services running on my home machine - mostly installed directly, but a couple running as docker containers. As the scale of my selfhosting has grown, I’ve realized that things would be a lot easier to manage if each service was run as its own container, so that installed services are isolated.
The solution I’m looking for would make it easy (possibly a web UI) for me to monitor, modify, update, and remove containerized services, including networking and storage.
Edit: Also I would only want a FOSS solution.
This is pretty sweet. My docker-compose config is working perfectly and I have no reason to fuck with it, but you’ve got me tempted
Podman quadlets can also auto-update and auto rollback, if needed.
@K3can @silver How do you handle running as other users? I like to run services as their own user, so currently I create a new user and (as them) run podman compose.
Quadlets work like any other systemd service.
You create the user/group you want to run as on the underlying system, then just specify that user/group in the quadlet file.
If you look at my *arr examples, you can see the user and groups they’re running as.
