  • I think it boils down to asking what the purpose of a company is. In my opinion, a company should be a vehicle to sustain and enhance the lives of all employed by it. Your paycheck should be your minimum compensation, with windfall profits mostly split amongst the employees so that the maximum number of contributors benefit from it.

    I’m ok with the idea of there being a sliding scale within reason because I understand that the company leadership holds a lot of the legal liability, but the CEO getting a yacht and the desk clerk getting a candy bar just doesn’t really cut it.

















  • Honestly, I’d sincerely recommend learning run or compose from the cli to get your containers started. Understanding the available variables and how to use them will teach you everything you will need to know if you choose a tool like DockStarter or Portainer later. They are convenient, but the way they hide the underlying run and compose options can sometimes end up limiting your understanding in the long run.


  • I thought I didn’t understand docker until I realized I was trying to use crappy broken containers. I can vouch for the official gluetun and qbittorrent ones functioning normally.

    Both can be created easily with docker run if you don’t feel comfortable working with docker compose yet. Both of their pages have run and compose options in the description.

    I don’t think you’ll regret the time taken to learn it if you go this route. Docker permanently changed how I managed my services for the better.
