  • I should also say I use portainer for some graphical hand holding. And I run watchtower for updates (although portainer can monitor GitHub’s and run updates based on monitored merged).

    For simplicity I create all my volumes in the portainer gui, then specify the mount points in the docker compose (portainer calls this a stack for some reason).

    The volumes are looped into the base OS (Truenas scale) zfs snapshots. Any restoration is dead simple. It keeps 1x yearly, 3x monthly, 4x weekly, and 1x daily snapshot.

    All media etc… is mounted via NFS shares (for applications like immich or plex).

    Restoration to a new machine should be as simple as pasting the compose, restoring and restoring the Portainer volumes.















  • I don’t feel like the Linux communities were really a friendly space in the early 2000s. And the Ubuntu forums felt like they became powerful in 2010. I played around with Linux briefly in 2005 and felt like there wasn’t much support for solving certain issues.

    And when in doubt, ask chatgpt. It may give you a wrong answer but it can point you in the right direction.
