Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

is that why it doesn't quite make sense to me?
Can you make a container from the compose file?
Yes, but the benefit of an official image would be that I wouldn't have to recreate it when a new version was released, it would update itself when I reload the container.
Do you need to recreate the container? Can you update the applications in the container?
I mean, I know I don't have to recreate it when I use a normal container, but I'm not clear when using compose
Hopefully someone with knowledge can weigh in.
You can do whatever you want inside the container. If you wanted to update inside it, you can, but it's probably not worth the effort. The downtime depending on the app can be just a few seconds when you rebuild the container.
That makes sense
