I just start using my homelab to host some new good services, and I want to know what is the approach of a docker setup, what is the best distro for? How to deploy them correctly? Basically I’m a real noob in this subject. Thank you

    Are they starting automatically at boot?

    EDIT : how do you run a container with a simple name instead of using his id?

      Yes - they’ll start automatically. There are other options for “restart” that define the behavior.

      You can give whatever you like to “servicename” and use that rather than the ID.

      For example:

      docker run -d --name mysite --restart unless-stopped nginx

docker stop mysite

docker start mysite
