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.

I personally manage my services using ansible, I only set up the actual infrastructure, the virtual machines that run the services, with terraform/opentofu. Docker is one of those in the middle tech between infrastructure and software distribution and it makes more sense to me to treat a service as a role in ansible do I can deploy it (docker, podman package install or whatever), sort it's networking and handle it's configuration all in one place. I'm not saying the way you do it is wrong, but this is just a step down the automation rabbit hole.
It doesn't appear your setup provisions the actual hosts for docker so I guess you are provisioning manually for that layer? That is another area you might want to leverage opentofu for?
Also congrats on actually documenting it in a consumable way for others to learn from.
I also use Ansible. Using Podman’s “quadlet” adapter, the containers run as systemd services.
