Runtipi: Homeserver management made easy

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/1429257

It has an ‘App store’ that’s been growing a lot lately. Writing new docker-compose.yaml files is easy (see: https://www.runtipi.io/docs/contributing/adding-a-new-app ), and exposing them behind NAT, e.g. from home it’s easy too (see: https://www.runtipi.io/docs/guides/expose-apps-with-cloudflare-tunnels )… But my favorite perk is the folder structure (see: https://www.runtipi.io/docs/reference/folder-structure ), and the fact that ‘media’ is shared between apps.

    I am not a fan of the way they do their setup procedure. I have no way of validating their install script other than to download it and go line by line to make certain it’s not malware. I think I’ll skip it. Hard pass but thanks.

      Fair enough, I have learned to live with curl first, then execute. Or going through the trustworthiness of the repository author (e.g. number of stars, contributors, etc.) More or less the same safeguard I take for packages I install from Arch User Repositories. I’m curious, tho, How do you feel about “docker pull”? Containerization has limits…

        I am truly no fan of containerization. I only will containerize an app once I understand what it is doing fully. Otherwise, I think containerization is merely an abstraction layer for someone who wants to get up and running quickly which is I think is not advisable. That’s my 0.02 anyways.
