  • Containerized software. The main advantage of this is that every application, or stack of applications, runs in its own ecosystem. You can restart a container whenever without having to reboot your entire system. You can store all data off a container in a volume, so if you hit a snag, you can recreate the container without actually losing any of your configs.

    You can also create networks so that apps run in different subnets than other apps.

    Very simply put, a docker container is like a mini system that runs on your main system.

    Something else I like about docker is docker compose. You can create a container or stack of containers with a single simple YAML file without actually having to install anything yourself. I manage my containers in Portainer.















  • I recently started myself. Debugging in the real world is tedious for my wife sometimes, but it just needs some fine tuning. I still have a cloud doorbell, sadly, because that’s what I had in the before times. Also I’d still like to find a good solution for multi room audio. All in all I am not at all disappointed with what is possible both on web and in the android app.

    I was thinking of routing my own external access but decided to just let it run thru Nabu Casa to support their work with a subscription.
