I just start using my homelab to host some new good services, and I want to know what is the approach of a docker setup, what is the best distro for? How to deploy them correctly? Basically I’m a real noob in this subject. Thank you

    When I tried it last (a couple years ago), the docker snap was an untroubleshootable mess. I don’t like the idea of running Docker that way, in whatever version of a container that Canonical has come up with for snaps. It’s just looking for problems. Run an application with Snap if you want, but a whole container system? No thanks.

      I just don’t use snaps and it works great for me. For docker I add their apt repository and install it like that.

      I wrote a script to remove snaps and install Docker as per the docker website. Works great mate.

      Plus you get the benefit of frequent updates.

        I don’t need what Ubuntu offers to run server applications, and Debian is rock solid and predictable. Might as well go to the source since it’s Debian all the way down anyway, just with added cruft.

        One of their frequent updates completely broke docker on my system. Fortunately they did push the fix by the time I realized what happened.
