Many want to start getting into running Docker containers in their home lab environments. However, some struggle to understand what use cases, services, and solutions are good to run as containers. We take a look at the Best Docker Containers for Home Server environments, looking at my top 5 Docker containers I run in the home lab. Hopefully, this list will help inspire you guys to share what containers you are running and maybe try out some of the containerized services I am using.

Dashy might just've been what I've been looking for! Thanks!

@NonyaDamnbusiness Год назад

I run Flame, Stringer, MeTube, Calibre-Web, AdGuard Home, PortainerCE, Teddit, Nitter, Whoogle, UpTime-Kuma, Plex, and Kiwix. I run straight VMs for my Unifi controller, Zerotier controller, and Home Assistant (HaOS). All of it sits on a locked-down Asustor AS6604 NAS I slapped 32GB of RAM into with 10TB split into 2 separate 5TB RAID-1 arrays as well as a RAID-1 nVME drive that houses just the NAS OS itself. I'm in an apartment so didn't have the room for anything bigger. It works well enough for me and thanks to ZeroTier I can securely access it from anywhere I have internet over an encrypted tunnel.

@VirtualizationHowto Год назад

iball, awesome list! I need to go through your list and see if there are others I need. Thank you for sharing!

@Shadaole Год назад

Hi Iball, can you do intel quick sync video transcoding on that system? I was thinking to build new nas using the same Celeron processor

@PedroAlves0 Год назад

OOC, why a full VM for the UniFi controller?

@mendozairis Год назад

My personal pick of essential containers to spin up are Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Airsonic, Guacamole, and Xen Orchestra. My balance of productivity and media consumtion anytime, anywhere.

@joshuapettus6973 Год назад

Honestly Nextcloud has a really good music app with subsonic support, so you prob don't need Airsonic.

@wilsmith7173 Год назад

Thank you! I didn't know that XO was available on docker, that's another vm decomm'd

@Trains-With-Shane Год назад

My top 5 are Portainer, Heimdall, Droppy, Ubooquity, and Chronograf. I was running some other stuff like Home Assistant, MariaDB, Grafana, and some data scrapers but I didn't really think the juice was worth the squeeze for Home Assistant given my small smart home device integrations, And the other stuff was just to scrape and graph stats for Proxmox, etc. Which I could do with Chronograf and InfluxDB a little more cleanly for my liking. Portainer I just use as a quick visual of logs, status, etc. I set up everything using Docker-Compose yml files.

@MathiasHomann Год назад

My personal "top X container images for home use", in no particular order of preference: pihole, portainer, gogs, grafana and watchtower. Personally I also run freeipa and AWX but that would be a wee bit outside normal home user's scope of use.

@gman2369 Год назад

How do you create the cloud-init template to deploy Kubernetes nodes, while using vsphere. Also, do you have a write up on how to install rancher on a vsphere cluster.

@drhoratio Год назад

My stack: Trilium (note taking app), Gitea (repo manager), Heimdall (dashboard), Vaultwarden (password manager), Plex, Transmission+OpenVPN, PiHole with DNSCrypt proxy, Watchtower, Dozzle (docker logs explorer) and Hoppscotch (API testing tool).

@Trains-With-Shane Год назад

I have been using Droppy for my quick note taking but it's no longer being developed. I may switch to Trilium. I just took a look at their github thanks to your suggestion and it looks pretty good! Maybe a little overkill for my needs but that rarely stands in my way, lol. As Adam Savage says it "If it's worth doing it's worth overdoing!". Edit: Just stood up a Trilium docker container on my test environment and it seems to be very cool. Can even copy/paste texts with pictures, etc. and it seems like it saves live so you don't have to worry about hitting a save button. Definitely worth further testing when I get time! Would like to see if i could have it save to an external mount rather than an internal directory. When I first set it up it complained because I attempted that, lol. Probably just an environment variable i'm need to tweak

@Bateman0983 Год назад

Homarr is also a good alternative to Heimdall.

@GadgeteerZA Год назад

Mine for home use are: Portainer, Heimdall (lighter resources than Dashy), DuckDNS, MaridDB, Nginx Proxy Manager, Watchtower, Pi-Aleret, Glances, FreshRSS, and Home Assistant...

Totally off topic, is that a pioneer minisplit that you have? Do you find the thermostat to be wildly off?

@VirtualizationHowto Год назад

Reynaldo, yes Pioneer on the wall for sure! So far, I have noticed a little bit of a discrepancy. However, it does a nice job knocking the heat out of the room with all the equipment in there and that is what I was after. So far, I haven't had any trouble with the unit so impressed with it for now.

Virtualization... inside virtualization.... inside virtualization.... WE NEED GO DEEPER!!! 😀🤣😂😁 I saw like 6th vm inside one and another. If you have production servers with this sucking deep VR. You will get insane drop of computing power. It's great for LABS and testing purposes... but not for production.

@orangehatmusic225 Год назад

I build my own orchestration management solution because all public available ones have severe pitfalls and shortcomings. If you are new to building up your cluster AVOID using any GUI at all cost so that you actually learn how things work. Using solutions like the ones mentioned in this video will quite literally teach you next to nothing.

@VirtualizationHowto Год назад

Orange hat, thank you for your comment! Honestly, it is a learning experience getting the management solutions themselves working. I find every little experience with Docker and Kubernetes teaches me something new.

@orangehatmusic225 Год назад

@@VirtualizationHowto Yeah you can learn a lot using them but you're learning from the top down instead of the bottom up (which is bad)... and the sad part about all the premade solutions is that you are basically forced into an ecosystem. Then limited by the scope of that ecosystem and subject to their changes such as when kubernetes dropped docker support.

@SB-qm5wg Год назад

Call me a privacy nut but I wonder how much phoning home these containers are doing? I know some have google analytics built into them like Portainer does(did?) And years of being a sys admin I'm fluid in the CLI. I keep snapshots of my shell configs because I'm always tweaking. I have a stand-alone config just for aliases. I have an alias for my aliases list 😆

@VirtualizationHowto Год назад

SB that is cool.....you should share your configs with the community. I know many like myself would enjoy taking a look! Thanks for sharing

@drhoratio Год назад

Yeah, me too. I try to only self host open source applications.

Why do you prefer Gitea of Gitlab?

@stainlesssteellemming3885 Год назад

@@chrisa.1740 For a home lab? Lighter weight (i.e. needs fewer resources). Though, other than for learning purposes, if (a) you have something that needs a VCS and (b) have gone with git, your best solution is a private repo or 5 on a public server from one or more of the leaders (github,atlassian,gitlab). If it's important enough to version control, it's important enough to store off-site.

@linuxguy1199 Год назад

As someone just getting into docker because I wanted to use Gotify, I hate it, seems like the only tools available are for managing other containers, docker and everything is encapsulated in multiple layers of unnecessary docker/container/kubernetes jargon. Gonna go back to using handwritten systemd services and some old school chroot based containerization scripts because this docker garbage is driving me nuts and as someone who likes efficient, streamlined, and logically organized systems I just can't get behind using docker. I mean for gods sake the logo is a whale, what better way to symbolize bloat?!

@nathanfries797 Год назад

If you are looking for images to run in your homelab, you are doing it backwards. You run what you require to achieve your goals. Otherwise its like hiring managers to manage your non existent product, instead of building product.

@betterwithrum Год назад

A lot of folks are looking to learn, specifically looking to learn DevOps and k8s. These homelabs are a necessity, their a hobby, thus they're not doing it backward, the fact they're doing it at all is positive. If these folks were all out trying to start a business or whatever then you'd be dead right.

@VirtualizationHowto Год назад

nathan, thanks for the comment! Definitely words of wisdom. However, one thing I have found is everyone learns differently. I have often been better at reverse engineering as opposed to figuring out the building blocks first. It provides more motivation if you can stand up working solutions first for home labbers, then understand how they work. However, to your point, you have to take the effort to understand the underlying concepts.

@linuxguy1199 Год назад

Personally I learn this way, trying to do something and everything I have is built to achieve a goal, etc. Never wanted to learn "DevOps", and frankly the saying annoys me, for me it was basically a necessity from writing code for hobby projects since I was 11, DevOps to me just seems like a way for people to make themselves sound like a software engineer without writing any code.
