Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Docker is so bad. I don't think a lot of you young bloods understand that. The system is so incredibly fragmented. Tools like Portainer are great, but they're a super pain in the ass to use with tools/software that include a dockerfile vs a compose file. There's no interoperability between the two which makes it insurmountably time-consuming and stupid to deal with certain projects because they're made for a specific build environment which is just antithetical to good computing.

Like right now, I have Portainer up. I want to test out Coolify. I check out templates? Damn, not there. Now I gotta add my own template manually. Ok, cool. Half way done. Oops. It expects a docker-compose.yml. The exatorrent repository only has a Dockerfile. Damn, now I have to make a custom template. Oh well, not a big deal. Plop in the Dockerfile from the repository, and click "deploy." OOPS! ERROR: "failed to deploy a stack: service "soketi" has neither an image nor a build context specified: invalid compose project." Well fuck... Ok, whatever. Not the biggest of deals. Let me search for an image of "soketi" using dockerhub. Well fuck. There are 3 images which haven't been updated in several years. Awesome. Which one do I need? The echo-server? The network-watcher? PWS?

Like, do you see the issue here? There's nothing about docker that's straightforward at all. It fails in so many aspects it's insane that its so popular.
