Should I be learning docker compose instead of relying on dockStarter to manage my containers? I got portainer up, should I just use that to manage my stack?

I’m committed this summer to finally learning docker. I’m on day 3 and the last puzzle piece is being able to access qbittorrent locally while running the container through the vpn.

Never heard of dockStarter so I'm gonna say yes

Compose is good for getting started, and might be sufficient for a long time. Eventually I moved to k8s but I also use that for work so it was an easy move for me.

I just started working with k8s (OpenShift). I don't see myself switching my private setup to k8s. How long did it take you to be comfortable with it that you made that decision?

I started learning k8s about 5 years ago, and in about 8 months I was ready to setup k3s at home and manage everything with ArgoCD.

Approximately 3 years ago I set up a second cluster on digital ocean and moved some workloads to that, including ArgoCD which manages both the remote DO cluster and the home k3s cluster

@synae @Mountain_Mike_420 your using K8s at home isn't that overkill.
