It’s a nightmare to install unless you’re the docker type.
So why not use Docker? “easier to install” is one of the use cases.
Installing is only easier once you understand compose.
DB maintenenace is more complicated
DB and File backups are more complicated
DB and File restores are more complicated.
Logs are more complicated. Config changes are more complicated.
There are a lot of apps that are ideal for Docker. Critical data storage for the home-gamer in containers isn’t easy.
Can’t you just make sure the containers are stateless, mounting any directories where data will be stored?
For DB maintenance, you can exec into the container and use the native DB client. Or just expose theDB over your network, at least to the machine you maintain the DB from.
Backup and restore the mounted directory.
Logs from Docker can be handled like any other, no?
Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I literally learned the “Docker way” first an never looked back. Whenever I see software that can’t natively run in a container, I start looking for alternatives because I don’t want to deal with the complications of not using docker.
Because dockers record with regards to security is questionable, and some people like to get automatic updates from their distro. For me personally, I think the design of Docker is absolute garbage. Containers are fine, but Docker is not the correct mechanism for it. (It’s also nothing new, see BSD jails and Solaris zones.)
Immich on Nixos works perfectly, and I also get automatic updates.
Works with Podman
