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.

How is this meaningfully different than using Deb packages? Or building from source without inspecting the build commands? Or even just building from source without auditing the source?
In the end docker files are just instructions for running software to set up other software. Just like every other single shell script or config file in existence since the mid seventies.
Your first sentence proves that it's different. The developer needs to know it's going to be a Deb package. What about rpm? What about if it's going to run on mac? Windows? That means they'll have to change how they develop to think about all of these different platforms. Oh you run windows - well windows doesn't have openssl, so we need to do this vs that.
I'd recommend reading up on docker and containerization. It is not a script for setting up software. If that's what you're thought is then you really don't understand containerization and I recommend taking some learnings on it. Like it or not it's here, and if you're doing any dev/ops work professionally you will be left behind for not understanding it.
