are you a bot?
ive been able to find reaction images lately thanks to this so i feel you


You are on the exact same kind of shitposting I am recently I guess. I have hundreds of these things & I don’t want them in my normal tagging systemNah not really it’s to show that this one will be making scheduled posts & I will abandon the inbox for long periods of time. Just means it’s off in the command line area rather than my phone most of the time. The db0 guy asked the same thing but he ignored me when I told him to pin lifeline4gaza.com so fuck him
Looks nice, can this work without docker?
i didnt try, i think it would be harder to install, why dont u want to use docker?
Because I don’t like docker. It’s one more abstraction layer that I don’t understand, going to spend time learning how to use it, need to maintain it, it’s gonna take up space on my SSD etc.
Same for flatpak, snap etc.
One developer thinks flatpak is the latest shiny hype thing ans releases his software as a flatpak. The other does snap. Third one prefers docker. Fourth one maybe something else.
I don’t want to maintain this zoo of package managers on my desktop and think about “wait, was this app a docker or a flatpak, how do I update it?”. I want to sudo apt install everything because that’s the default package manager for my distro and I expect all the software to be in a repo that works with it.
Not to sound entitled or anything, it’s just natural to not want to use docker imho.
well, i dont think it’s the same. docker offers an easier way to install and store this kinds of apps. for example i installed the arr stack which takes a bit of time configuring it, ive done it before but not with docker and i lost my data on reinstall, i know you can keep it but its not the same. docker stores all the dependencies there. you just docker compose up on a new system and you got the same app.
regarding flatpak, also another issue. flatpak is distro agnostic, it’s not about being the shiny hype thing, but offering a solution to the linux ecosystem where devs needed to provide different package manager options. could there be another thing? yeah, but that could happen with apt too theoretically.
So, how do I use iptables to open ports for docker apps? Usually I install a thing that requires for example port 8080, and I open the port 8080. Does docker respect iptables?
this is my compose file for monbooru, ive added some comments to show you what each thing does, if you want to change the port simply change the the first 8080. all of these value:value mean that the first value is your machine, and the second one inside the container. that’s it, create a folder named monbooru, create a file named docker-compose.yml, add the thing i gave you below and save it. with your terminal cd into the directory where the compose file lives and do docker compose up -d and it will download the image and it’ll be runnin. believe me, i used to prefer to not use docker because i thought, ohh i have to learn to use docker, but honestly i wish i knew it was this simple long before so i wouldnt have done so many installs of some apps where i’ll lose my data

Docker automatically opens ports your containers need through iptables. Because of this, it bypasses rules set by
ufw, which is great.Podman does not do this afaik, and since it only runs rootless it’s a lot less risky as well.
@vort3 @gary_host_laptop Be strong. Docker is for the assholes of the todays to prevent them from learning Linux.
It is a phenomenon in the German IT world. Meine Kollegen einfach boycotten Linux. Nicht, weil es komplex wäre. Es gibt ein einfach, stille Blokk.
They are not stupid to it, they are simply assholes. As I feel, they might consider it somehow “non-conform” or so. And their hysterical drive for conformism is comparable to what you can read in the remembers of North Korean refugees.
Docker is exactly for them.
Please be civil and polite. This type of aggressive comment insulting people because of the tools that they use isn’t welcome here.
@kevincox It was rude and hostile, but not agressive. Huge difference!
I just want to encourage you to reconsider. Docker (or podman) is worth taking the time to figure out. It’s not particularly difficult to learn the basics of, and is extremely powerful.
Your life as a self-hoster will be massively simplified by spending a weekend learning to use docker or podman. Not using containerization is like opting in to hard mode with dependency and configuration hell.
Yes but the app in OP clearly states it’s not meant to be open to the internet, it’s just a booru with web UI to be used on localhost. So it kinda has nothing to do with self hosting in a regular sense, why docker?
You might be right about this software, but regardless of this specific use-case, I was responding to your overall sentiment towards containerization in general. It’s worth looking more into, that’s all!
