I’m an advocate of running all of your self-hosted services in a Docker container and even I can admit that this is completely accurate.

You can think of Docker as something that lets you run all of your self-hosted services inside of their own virtual machine. To each service, it looks like that service is running on its own separate computer. (A Docker container is not actually a virtual machine, it’s something much faster than that, but I like to think about it the same way. It has similar advantages.)

This has a few advantages. For example, if there is a security vulnerability in one of your services, it’s less likely to affect your whole server if that vulnerable service is inside of a Docker container. Even if the vulnerability lets an attacker see files on your system, the only “system” they can see is the one inside of the Docker container. They can’t look at anything else on the rest of your actual computer, they can only see the Docker “virtual machine” that you created for that one service.

I love the way this looks! Is that some kind of UI library, or did you design it that way?

I have my music collection in Funkwhale now, which relies on metadata for organizing the library. But I want to check this out anyway – maybe I’ll create a few folders for specific listening cases.

Yeah, literally all of mine these days are trying to go to /wp_admin.php and /phpmyadmin.

Side note: this made me think, “I wonder how the phpMyAdmin project is doing these days,” and wow, all of their corporate sponsors are online vape shops and places to buy fake social media followers. (https://www.phpmyadmin.net/) What the heck is going on there? I know that funding open source projects is almost impossible, so I understand taking whatever money you can get. But it looks pretty bad when phpMyAdmin is a huge target for bots trying to steal your database, and then the entire project seems to be sponsored by companies that need emails and passwords to create fake social media activity.

Thank you! I’ve been ignoring that error, assuming that it was just about indentation.

Also I appreciate your use of the word “thusly” immediately after the word “tho.”
