Should I stick with Docker Swarm for self-hosting?
  • To use Docker secrets so that the secrets are encrypted on the host. Using Docker Swarm was the path of least resistance to set up my system monitoring stack.

    Docker Compose can use secrets without Swarm, but my understanding is that the those are in plaintext on the host.

  • Hi! I'm starting out with self-hosting. I was setting up Grafana for system monitoring of my mini-PC. However, I ran into issue of keeping credentials secure in my Docker Compose file. I ended up using Docker Swarm since it was the path of least resistance. I've managed to set up Grafana/Prometheus/Node stack and it's working well.

    However, before continuing with Docker Swarm, I want to check if this is a good idea or will I potentially dig myself into a corner? Some of the options I've found while searching:

    • Continue with Docker Swarm and look into automation of stack/swarm in future

      • Ansible playbook has plugins for Docker Swarm.
    • Self-hosted vault: I want to avoid hosting my own secret/password manager at the moment.

    • Kubernetes (k8s / k3s) - I don't wanna 😭

      • More seriously, I'm actually learning this for work but don't see the point of implementing it at home. The extra overhead doesn't seem worth it for a single node cluster.
    • Live dangerously - Store crdentials in plaintext. Also use admin as password for everything

    Edit: Most of the services I'm planning on hosting will likely be a single replica service.

  • Reminded me of this bit from Barge Ballad

    Oh you've got to remember

    Way up atop the mast

    Knowing all the river routes

    That you never learn from the charts

    Well I do remember

  • Fixed height setting in Interface > Posts doesn't work. Post 1 & 2 are fine, but post 3 is way too long.

    I would expect each post (card) to have the exact same height regardless of image height.

  • Andreja seems to get the invis Chamaleon effect when sneaking. Not sure if that's because of my spacesuit.

    Haven't tested it since i'm not doing sneak build.

    What's the point of cargo ships?
  • That's what I've been doing.

    But dropping the argon inside your ship might also count as cargo. Decor items like weight-plates, dumbbell etc uses up cargo space. Will try it once my Aluminum storage is full again.

  • Wait, do you know if this still happens?

    I have a ticket in our backlog to investigate similar issue with Teams Webhook reporting success but not posting anything.

    None of us wanted to look at it so been in our backlog for a whilr
