Docker and Portainer – Home Labbing part 5

I am making progress on my Docker box. I was struggling with the Command Line Interface trying to get containers created and running. I wanted to have a Graphical User Interface and I found an app provides that and makes it much easier with Portainer.

I want to add more apps and I may want to have it be accessible to the outside that is safe. I have been looking into some ideas like Tailscale or a reverse proxy through a service like CloudFlare. I will keep you posted of my progress.

Home Labbing

I work in IT and was looking on doing home labbing. Home labbing is a way to build your own server with VMs or Docker containers to run OS or Apps. I have started years ago making my own NAS box with OpenMediaVault. I use it to store my media files like my ripped CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays as well as my documents, music, pictures and software. I want to expand to other services like a PiHole or home automation.
