I avoid apt because it does silly stuff. Always use apt-get. I suppose having to know that quirk is a con of the distro.

I just don’t use snaps and it works great for me. For docker I add their apt repository and install it like that.

What is so bad about Ubuntu server?

Sounds fun! I completed like half the book previously. This might be the motivation I need.

I’ve got 4 services, mongo, mongo express, my web service and traffik. When I want to deploy I git pull master then docker compose up -d --build

Great writeup! I’ve been doing a project with a 2gb 1vcpu vps as my host and one compose file. It is so much simpler than past project that I used aws for.

I have a reverse proxy(traefik) on my LAN to handle sub domain service routing. I want https but don’t want to have to install certs on all the clients using the services. I want the s but don’t want my services to be unavailable if my Internet goes down.
