It's what docker and Proxmox were born to do!

What I’m more interesting in is what is it that you selfhost to have so many docker containers?
Well, lots of services are stacks of containers - Immich has 6 containers and Piped has 5, for example - so it's easy for the container count to get up there.
Other "services" are groups of containers/hosts to provide a complete capability - Home Assistant; esphome; Node-RED, for example. Then there's just the stuff that, due to my desire for loose coupling, are spread across multiple docker hosts/containers - 5 x Sonarr/Radarr instances, for example.
Do folks actually interact with all these services regularly?
In my case, yep. I believe in as much separation between services as possible, so each service essentially resides on its own docker host, whether physical or Linux container.
That said, some of my services are stacks of multiple containers. For example. my DNS service is a pair of Pi-hole DNS servers, each running their own Pi-hole container, but each one also running containers for Cloudflare tunnel and telemtry export to Prometheus.
Immich has a stack of 6 containers, Piped a stack of 5. So, out of the 66 containers (that aren't Portainer agent or Watchtower), it probably condenses down to around half that number (eg. the 25 docker hosts I have, plus a handful or two others).
Vive la France!
Immich's repo explicitly states not to rely on it as a primary backup of your photos and videos. Seems to me the more foolish thing would be to ignore that advice.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is it hard to breathe in that rarified air, up on your high horse?
I'll keep taking my calculated risks. You keep judging strangers on the internet. 👍
Yeah, righto sport. Neither of us have that level of detail.
What we know is that this clown who can't pass a simple piss test and, for whatever reason, won't get paid because of it. And it seems there's at least 3 kids depending on him to have stayed clean.
WHatever.
"Family of 5 depends on results"
No, fuckhead - they clearly depend on you, and obviously shouldn't.
Or, if you do have it auto-update (like I do) prepare for things to break every now and then. I auto-update just about all containers except those that would break either my home automation or my ability to login to my network and fix things. Everything else auto-updates, including Immich.
My Immich broke this weekend when they switched the stack over to pgvecto, to use vector searching in Postgres. Easily fixed, but took me a solid minute to figure out what had changed.
Which is kinda weird they didn't communicate this one so well. In the lead-up to v.1.88.0, Alex made an announcement on Github to let people know the breaking change was the removal of the web container from the stack, rolling the webserver into the main server container itself. That was a good move, as all I did was flip my Watchtower container on that host to monitor only.
Dunno why they didn't do something similar for the Postgres change. Was just as breaking.
Yeah, I've got a mate with a husky. He's always had huskies. Admittedly we have cooler climate here in Melbourne than other parts of Australia, but I could never figure it out. Don't get me wrong - he takes excellent care of them. They're his only family, really, but the effort he has to go to is much higher than I've seen for just about any other breed.
Dunno where this seller is but, here in Australia, pure-bred Husky pups go for $1500-$2000. $600 may still be a bargain, depending on the dog's lineage.
Ah - I've been meaning to look into Nomad. I have plenty of admiration for Hashicorp's products. How are you finding it?
