An SMB share from a Windows server VM. I've also been playing around with paperless but honestly I trust the SMB share way more and it's so much easier for me to not fuck up and lose all my data like I've done in the past playing with Docker containers.

Thank you. What do you use for container backups and restoring?

Are there any concerns/risks to using Watchtower? (alien.top)
 

Someone recommended it for keeping my containers up to date automatically. I checked out the repo and it seems too good to be true. It just updates your containers when a new image is available and everything just works out of the box? I'm a bit scared of just leaving it alone in case it might break something. The fact that it doesn't come with a gui also scares me a bit.

Does anyone here use it and can recommend it? Any horror stories?

My MariaDB Docker container changes networks anytime my server resets (alien.top)
 

I've had to reset my Ubuntu server a couple of times in the last year and there's one thing I noticed that happens to my MariaDB container:

The IP address goes up by one each time. For example, it was 172.17.0.10 and now its 172.17.0.11. The ports remain the same but this breaks any app that's using the DB since the app is still looking to connect to .10 and not .11.

I'm not quite sure if this happens to other containers (I think it might) but other containers connect using the host + port. MariaDB connects using the IP address shown in portainer. The one that matches the network bridge.

I'm not well-versed in networking and I've been asking about recommendations for Udemy/Coursera courses on the topic (Feel free to suggest one).

If possible, I'd like to revert the container's Ip address back to 172.17.0.10 and prevent it from changing again, OR find a way to connect apps to the container using the localhost instead of the container IP address.

​

My workaround has been to go to the affected apps and point them to the new IP address when it changes but I'm hoping to find a way to eliminate the need for this. Thoughts?

Can't use my own SSL certificate for Portainer? (alien.top)
 

I set up the Nginx proxy manager container to avoid the "not secure" warnings on my internal Docker containers. They all seem to work with my duck.dns SSL certificates and I can access them using custom domain names (e.g. Plex.duck.dns.org) but when I try it with Portainer, I get this error on Chrome. Firefox and other browsers don't show the error but tell me that my connection is still not secure. Does anyone here know why and how I could fix it?
