What are the best resources you have found that have taught you about Docker? I would really like to learn more about how to make containers for docker. Access them and even add them upstream. I would love a copy of Netrunner in a docker. This way it would run natively on the steam deck.

Here's an example of running Syncterm in a Docker container using TightVNC/novnc so it can be accessed from any browser. I'm running this on k8s: https://github.com/jaromaz/stws

I started to dig into the code to see how I could swap out Syncterm for another terminal program, but ran out of the time.

I will check it out but don't even know where to start. All the info I find to work on these is not newbie friendly. would be nice to find a intro to dockers so I can learn the inner workings of them from a dummy stand point.

Do a search on YouTube for "docker" or "homelab" and you'll find a lot
of information on Docker. Most people setting up homelabs will talk
about the basics of Docker/Portainer (a front-end for Docker) and how
they use it.

Portainer. Not heard of that but good info. Thank you

I'm happy to be a resource for you or point you to some. As was mentioned, "homelab" or "self-hosting" communities will all be great places to start. YouTube channels like Lawrence Systems and Network Chuck are some of my favorites.

My blog, at lachlanlife.net, is where I've posted in detail about my journey. Sadly, I haven't posted anything in a while and my homelab has just been in a maintenance mode due to other life priorities.

I understand that. I watch both of those. Life has only gotten busier as the kids are getting older. They are starting to do much better at taking care of their own stuff a bit now. Just as that was taking hold the wife was injured at work so I'm back to extra duty. Getting older isn't great.

I will poke my head in here and ask questions when I have time to do more research.

Howdy,

What are the best resources you have found that have taught you about Docker?

You can ask here your questions along the way, and I'll help you.

I've been using docker for a long time (I think 10 years or there abouts) and pretty much put everything in docker. My hosts that now run the containers are pretty much "dumb" hosts.

At home, I use swarm mode, so that containers float between 3 machine - letting me take down a machine for updates for example.

There are some key fundamentals that you need to get your head around, and once you understand that its generally pretty easy.

The next level would be kubernetes, and while I understand how kube works, my attempts to run a kube cluster havent worked - simply because I wasnt able to easily solve the storage problem (they way I liked). In time, I'd like to move all my swarm containers to kube and when I get enough time to focus on it I will... (Then I'll be just as confident about kube as I am about docker/swarm.)

Well I will remember this so I hope you mean it I do nerd out when I have time. I couldn't talk you in to taking time to visit on my teamspeak server could I? I know its a bit old school but glad I kept it all these years and seeing what discord is doing I'm very happy about it.

Never used teamspeak.

Anyway, looks like you are GMT-5 (East Coast US?) and I'm GMT+10, which means you are 9 hrs ahead of me yesterday. Probably not a good time to talk - my evening is your very early morning.

If you chat here, others will probably help out too :) Text chat is probably easier too - making it easier to copy/paste examples.

If you want something a little more "live", then you might catch me on matrix, @deon:matrix.dege.au.

I dove into kubernetes for work earlier. I found k3sup to be a nice starting point to run a multi-master, multi-worker node setup. I was using 3 Rocky linux VMs to run this on, which I could manage from my laptop (meaning I could deploy k3sup on those 3 VMs from a terminal on the laptop. I haven't used it in a while since I went back into networking work wise, but it was a nice experience to get started with kubernetes. Deploying kubernetes-dashboard is a nice second step, as it provides insight into the environment running.

How did you handle storage?

I discovered not so long ago Talos, which I liked a lot. It makes the hosts pretty much ephemeral, but I struggled to have a cluster wide storage for it.

I tried a couple of options, with mixed results - but nothing that was running. So I thought I'd head back to something I know - glusterfs. (Although I've not run gluster in kube...)

My coffee consumption went way up when I started watching NetworkChuck
while working.

My blog, at lachlanlife.net, is where I've posted in detail about my journey. Sadly, I haven't posted anything in a while and my homelab has just been in a maintenance mode due to other life priorities.

My homelab sits idle most of the time. I'm running Proxmox, too, host
my BBS, a docker host (in an LXC container) and piHole.

My homelab sits idle most of the time. I'm running Proxmox, too, host
my BBS, a docker host (in an LXC container) and piHole.

Let's see, I'm running a 6 node k3s cluster as VMs (3 nodes each on two clustered proxmox servers) using Longhorn storage. It's running Authelia, bbsterm (syncroterm+novnc), Crowdsec, Dashy, Drone, Gitea, the blog, ldap, Matrix, Nextcloud, ntfy, Vaultwarden, and a weechat irc client for use with a remote weechat client.

I'm also running an AMP game server VM for Palword, Project Zomboid, and Satisfactory, an pair of haxproxy VMs for load balancing, Home Assistant, a Windows 10 VM, and a restic-rest server for backups.

I started the project in 2020 during the pandemic and it's definitely grown beyond a homelab and into a "production" system because I rely daily on the applications running on it. One of my design goals was to make it entirely recreatable using Terraform and Ansible playbooks stored on Github if I needed to. I got to test this serveral times when I ran into some Longhorn bugs that kept hosing the k3s cluster.

Work is *really* into Terraform with our AWS instances. I should spend
some time playing with it. I did see some people on YouTube hosting a
cluster of Proxmox servers *in* Proxmox, that's pretty wild - but an
efficient use of a homelab. :)

If/when I get some consulting income this year, I'm tempted to replace
my laptop/minitower homelab with 3 USFF boxes and make a cluster out of
them.

Now that's a wild idea. I guess it works if you only have one physical server, but doesn't really help in the event of a hardware failure. I guess that's why it's a "homelab".
