Thanks! Our son is a bit less than a month old. The wife, our son, and https://omnikee.github.io/ are three different projects 😂

I’m taking care of a newborn and doing some FOSS work, so that project has been deprioritized for now 😅

I am administering several other docker servers and a k8s cluster from the command line, so I’m well aware what I’m missing 😀 - in this case, I was hoping for a higher wife approval factor, which is at least partially there.

Thanks for the portainer on unraid tip. I set up portainer itself yesterday but will have to get around to migrating the 30 or so already deployed containers to it.

Yeah, I’m currently running unraid on it because I wanted a hands-off maintenance experience.

While it’s nice to get started, I’m really missing even intermediate Docker features such as support for compose files (so that there is some grouping of main services with the database instance that supports it, etc). Still, it’s been working reliably for the year that I’ve had it.

Edit: I have tried the Docker Compose Manger plugin but didn’t find the experience an improvement because of the way the YAML editing works

Is keeping the servers where they currently are (or with a friend) an option? Then you could just VPN into it from abroad.

If that isn’t an option, I’m currently running a homebuilt NAS off an Intel N100 Mini-ITX mainboard and I’m impressed with how many services it can run simultaneously, including Quick Sync Video for hardware transcoding.
