Just GTFO if you don’t want help. Later.

Like everyone else is saying. POST CONFIGS.

I don’t think you changed them in the right way, or didn’t restart. Post configs.

Details please.

I’m assuming you forced a port conflict somehow.

If you’re familiar with Linux, just read the Dockerfile of any given project. It’s literally just a script for running a thing. You can take that info and install how you’d like if needed.

These should absolutely no place in the mix with containers at all. Very confused how you’ve made these work of that’s what you’re suggesting.

I don’t have anything handy, but I see your point, and I’d shame lazy devs for not properly packaging things maybe 😂

You mentioned you use Proxmox, which is already an abstraction on bare-metal, so that’s about as easy as easy an interface as I can imagine for a hosted machine without using something like Docker Desktop and using it to manage a machine remotely (not a good idea).

As a develop, I guess I was slightly confused on some suggestions on ways to use things being posted in this sub, but some of the responses I guess clarify that. There isn’t enough simplicity in explaining the “what” of containers, so people just use them the simplest way they understand, which also happens to be the “wrong way”. It’s kind of hard to grasp that when you live with these things 24/7 for years. Kind of a similar deal with networking solutions like Tailscale where I see people installing it everywhere and not understanding why that’s a bad idea 😂

So save you a lot of learning, I’ll just not go down a rabbit hole if you just want something to work well. Ping back here if you get into a spot of trouble, and I’ll definitely hop in to give a more detailed explanation on a workflow that is more effective than what it seems most people in here are using.

In fact, I may have just been inspired to do a write up on it.

What in the world are you talking about? It’s literally the entire point of containers orchestration systems, and the reason why you don’t run containers inside containers. It’s makes zero sense.

This thread has raised so many questions I’d like answered:

1. Why are people backing up containers?
2. Why are people running docker-in-docker?
3. I saw someone mention snapshotting containers…what’s the purpose of this?
4. Why are people backing up docker installs?

Seriously thought I was going crazy reading some of these, and now I’m convinced the majority of people posting suggestions in here do not understand how to use containers at all.

Flat file configs, volumes, layers, versioning…it’s like people don’t know what these are are how to use them, and that is incredibly disconcerting.

Run Docker at the host level. Every level down from there is not only a knock to performance across the spectrum, it just makes a mess of networking. Anyone in here saying “it’s easy to backup in a VM” has completely missed the point of containers, and apparently does not understand how to work with them.

You shouldn’t ever need to backup containers, and if you’re expecting data loss if one goes away, yerdewinitwrawng.

Docker doesn’t need to portable because containers are…

I don’t even understand this logic.

You said you have a router from your old ISP that is going away when that ends, or did I misunderatand that part?

An RPi can function as a router…sort of. It will not be a very good one though. Putting your network services on a device like the Flint I mentioned gives it all kinds of benefits over an RPi:

• many Ethernet ports
• ability to reassign hardware ports
• hardware acceleration for network traffic
• WiFi 6 (for that particular model, W7 for the newer)

I can go and on with that one. RPi just doesn’t have the power to give the same kind of performance, especially since you mentioned having gigabit internet.

I’d figure out what exactly you’re wanting to do instead of just asking people what you should be doing. You’re going to get a lot of noise and subjective opinions just generally asking.

There isn’t anything you SHOULD be doing at all, just figure out what would be useful to you.

Just from the things you mentioned you were using, I’d suggest getting an OpenWRT router of some sort so you setup your VPN again. I recommend GL.inet Flint2 for those that ask, but looks like the Flint3 is coming out soon.

For the other stuff you mention…it’s all very subjective, and you’re going to get a lot of noisy opinions. Fact of the matter if you just do what you feel comfortable with. Maybe come back when you have a specific issue you want technical opinions or help with to make more informed decisions.

I would assume that means it’s not configured. What do the logs say?

The real question is: why do you need this much memory?

If it’s not actually going to be used, you’re spending more money acquiring it now than you would later.

Why? It’s free if you don’t setup a custom runner and those cover your areas.

🤦

Sure, bud. Read up the chain.

At what point do imagine that DHCP is not in play here?

Y’all keep talking about randomized MAC like it’s a tool of anonymity or something. Wow.

It’s a Boolean setting on Android, and there is no reason to change this. OP doesn’t understand networking.

Because the MAC address isn’t a part of the tcp/ip exchange. You’re specifically addressing TCP/IP only.

If you’re trying to block something by MAC address, you’re doing it wrong.
