I’m trying to get back into self hosting. I had previously used Unraid and it worked well to run VMs where needed and Docker containers whenever possible. This biggest benefit is that there is an easy way to give each container it’s own IP so you don’t have to worry about port conflicts. Nobody else does this for Docker as far as I can tell and after trying multiple “guides”, none of them work unless you’re using some ancient and very specific hardware and software situation. I give up. I’m going back to Unraid that just works. No more Docker compose errors because it’s Ubuntu host is using some port requiring me to disable key features.

    If you’re prepared for headaches at the start then switching over to a ingress controller is the way to go.

    95% of my services run on a single IP address over Https with a valid certificate. I can add as many services as I want without worrying about IP conflicts or invalid certificates.
