I prefer the MYOWN-16080 standard of yy/dm/md/y/y. Also the year units are randomly swapped for encryption

Should I stick with Docker Swarm for self-hosting? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

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 ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    • 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.

I haven't tried it myself but Ubuntu desktop 24 has remote desktop built in. You could try it out on a VM?

then others will

Unfortunately, I don't think the others want to compete fair either. It's a big race to shove garbage to consumers.

[Bug] Fixed height setting doesn't work (Card Layout 1) (lemmy.world)
 

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.
