Docker is so bad. I don’t think a lot of you young bloods understand that. The system is so incredibly fragmented. Tools like Portainer are great, but they’re a super pain in the ass to use with tools/software that include a dockerfile vs a compose file. There’s no interoperability between the two which makes it insurmountably time-consuming and stupid to deal with certain projects because they’re made for a specific build environment which is just antithetical to good computing.
Like right now, I have Portainer up. I want to test out Coolify. I check out templates? Damn, not there. Now I gotta add my own template manually. Ok, cool. Half way done. Oops. It expects a docker-compose.yml. The exatorrent repository only has a Dockerfile. Damn, now I have to make a custom template. Oh well, not a big deal. Plop in the Dockerfile from the repository, and click “deploy.” OOPS! ERROR: “failed to deploy a stack: service “soketi” has neither an image nor a build context specified: invalid compose project.” Well fuck… Ok, whatever. Not the biggest of deals. Let me search for an image of “soketi” using dockerhub. Well fuck. There are 3 images which haven’t been updated in several years. Awesome. Which one do I need? The echo-server? The network-watcher? PWS?
Like, do you see the issue here? There’s nothing about docker that’s straightforward at all. It fails in so many aspects it’s insane that its so popular.
Or you learn proxmox and running everything as a VM
Just learn docker
