So far I've avoiding learning about Docker by just buying a new old end-of-life Chromebook when I wanted to run anything. Works pretty well, except for the giant pile of Chromebooks behind my TV.
I actually have Portainer set up and running, and I even spun up a few simple containers in it. Unfortunately I did so by following a guide to complete a specific task. I completed the task successfully, but now I have a Portainer install that I don't understand in the slightest, and don't know how to update it or any of the containers in it, or really do anything that wasn't covered in the guide I followed (which I now cannot find). I found a YouTube video that tries to explain Portainer, but I don't know the terminology of Docker enough to understand what they are saying, and I haven't found a Docker video simple enough to bring me up to speed.
Sounds like my kinda fun. ;)
Yeah, I just don't want to set it up, realize it's trashing my home connection, and then have to boot off those ten users. Maybe I'll set one up with just me, then if everything is alright, add one more and see. Thanks for the tips! :)
Just trying to get a sense if it's worth bothering with my 10Mbit up.
Is there any use to spinning up an instance, only allowing say 10 people max, then just keep it updated and let it run, to take the load of those ten people off the bigger instances? Is that too small time to be useful? I have pretty weak upload.
I think I just need a general overview. Something about the concept isn't clicking for me, and it makes it hard for me to learn how to use it when I fundamentally don't get it. Is there a really good "Introduction to Docker and the tools people use with it" that I haven't found?
We need a sort of Pushshift for Lemmy. That way Lemmy instances can purge posts for their own survival, while a full archive exists and can be accessed if needed. Best of both worlds. Perhaps the Lemmy project should be working with the Pushshift people to integrate that functionality.
Docker is hurting my progress. I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. Is there a Docker for Dummies?
Aww, thanks! :)
I'm gonna send mine registered mail. The way they have been behaving, I wouldn't put it past them to just send requests straight to the trash, then claim they never received them with a shit eating grin on their face.
