I set up a new home server recently using containerized services, and I wanted to share what I learned. Nothing here is revolutionary, but this is the type of resource I wish I had when I started.

I’m open to feedback on what I could have done better!

Great post, thanks for sharing 👍

I would suggest to give Ansible a try, it would make it really easy to deploy a new service with all required users and config.

That’s a great point about Ansible. Compose automates most of the setup, but automating all of it would be amazing. I’ll try it with the next service I set up, and if it goes well, I’ll document it. Thanks for the suggestion!
