As someone that loves docker compose and doesn't mind services with the benefits of software better than sqlite, I guess I'm the minority here. I wish more apps were based on postgres. I also have never had a problem with my publicly exposed applications. Not once in 8 years.

As long as you can use one instance of Postgresql. There's another comment thread here[1] about each thing wanting its own Postgresql container.

Nah I thought their setup was pretty ridiculous and seemed hard to maintain. I run all my stuff via docker compose and am very happy with it. I don't understand the comments praising single go binaries, which I've actually seen reach out to the docker engine api and start containers for their dependencies

8 years to now may not be indicative of what's to come.

People with script-kiddie level skills now have access to nation-state level attack expertise via LLM.

I'm a big fan of Tailscale

But can you still call it "self-hosting" when a corporation is now controlling access to your own network?

I mean I'm just lazy. I could use Headscale or implement my own wireguard control plane.

The apps and data are still all on my hardware, Tailscale just brokers the wireguard connections and can't see the traffic.

I get what you mean though. It's a link in the chain for sure. Never had an issue with it so far though.
