Dockerize all the things...
Let's start putting all the media server things into Docker containers.
All over the internet, everyone keeps talking about Docker. Talking about how great it is, how easy it is to configure and how it’s a lifesaver when making a home server.
“Easier to make a home server.”
That’s what caught my attention. I immediately spun Ubuntu 18.04 VM on my computer and started to play with Docker. I had installed all my home server apps within and hour of Googling and reading articles on home server automation with Docker. It was kind of cool how everything just started working as soon as the commands finished running. On Windows, I would have to go through the settings of each app and configure the settings manually. Meanwhile on Docker, and since I used docker-compose, I could set all the main settings on a docker-compose.yml file and it would build the container using the provided information. Outstanding.
Since the VM config went so well, I’ve decided that I will be installing Ubuntu on my computer and run all the apps in Docker containers.
Oh this will mean my services will be down for a few hours...
Great...
