      I’m mostly docker. I want to selfhost Lemmy but there’s no one-click Docker Compsoe / Portainer installer yet (for Swag / Nginx proxy manager) so I won’t until it’s ready

      Converting my environment to be mostly containerized was a bit of a slow process that taught me a lot, but now I can try out new applications and configurations at such an accelerated rate it’s crazy. Once I got the hang of Docker (and Ansible) it became so easy to try new things, tear them down and try again. Moving services around, backing up or restoring data is way easier.

      I can’t overstate how impactful containerization has been to my self hosting workflow.

      Same for me. I’ve known about Docker for many years now but never understood why I would want to use it when I can just as easily install things directly and just never touch them. Then I ran into dependency problems where two pieces of software required different versions of the same library. Docker just made this problem completely trivial.
