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

    I wrote a script to remove snaps and install Docker as per the docker website. Works great mate.

    Plus you get the benefit of frequent updates.

      I don’t need what Ubuntu offers to run server applications, and Debian is rock solid and predictable. Might as well go to the source since it’s Debian all the way down anyway, just with added cruft.

      One of their frequent updates completely broke docker on my system. Fortunately they did push the fix by the time I realized what happened.

        Is that because you installed it via snaps instead of apt?

          It was from docker’s apt repo, so a newer version than provided through Ubuntu’s channels I assume.

            APT install is the same for Debian as it is for Ubuntu. Ubuntu delivers docker through APT or Snap but defaults snap.
