Is dockStarter a waste of time? (lemmy.ml)

Should I be learning docker compose instead of relying on dockStarter to manage my containers? I got portainer up, should I just use that to manage my stack?

I’m committed this summer to finally learning docker. I’m on day 3 and the last puzzle piece is being able to access qbittorrent locally while running the container through the vpn.

N number of EXISTING nodes. Proper container orchestration platforms handle all the provisioning of instances, scaling of services, IAM...etc.

Docker Swarm (and all Docker tools) only handle...Docker.

Swarm is another thing I would never recommend in production.

    That's not container orchestration, that's infrastructure orchestration. Depending on your use case docker swarm could just the right tool for the job.

    You've been using Aws and they will happily let you add more nodes to your container runner of choice
