As Walter mentioned, docker is not that resource heave at all, it runs almost natively. (not on a mac)

It also keeps your system clean, you can backup/transfer it easily to another machine, and there are no system dependencies.

Setup of a application (if it is Domoticz, pihole, plex or whatever) is done in minutes!

And almost any application has a docker variant and documentation how to setup.

Give it a few hours to train yourself with it, start with compose files first, next use DockGE, try starting simple
Learn how to convert docker command line to docker compose files (you can do this with DockGE as well)
Maybe start with installing DockGE

To install docker compose issue

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

curl -fsSL test.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sh get-docker.sh
sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo reboot

And if you use docker compose updating all containers can be done in one single command line as indicated on the docker wiki page.

But plenty of userprograms probably[?] will never touch it.

is a hint possible what kind of functions will certainly need the shift to OpenSSL3.0, and which not?
Or a hint to some description dealing with that aspect?

Only it will be more resource heavy on the system with another container.
Then I would like my systems to have central update like running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
With Docker I need to google the commands how to update the docker as well.

I created a bash script to update all my github plugins before I started to use docker.

echo "Updating package lists"
sudo apt update
echo "upgrading all packages"
sudo apt dist-upgrade --autoremove -y
echo pulling new docker images
cd ~/docker
docker compose pull
echo stopping and removing containers
docker compose down
echo recreating and starting containers
docker compose up -d
echo cleaning up unused space
docker system prune -f

docker compose pull && docker compose up --force-recreate --build -d && docker image prune -f

docker compose pull && docker compose up --force-recreate --build -d && docker image prune -f

For each update, the non-compatibility of the new version with the host operating system has always been defined.
not in this case, Many people noticed this problem only because the update didn't work.

I have Buster on my raspberry and I have never updated it simply there was no reason, moreover it is not said that it is always possible to do it, maybe there is new hardware to buy, or there could be problems on other services present.

Now, reducing everything to a solution like "use docker", is not really the right way to manage this incompatibility, because even docker is not exempt from problems, since the present documentation is very basic.

Having said that, I will try to update raspbian (operation not simple because you have to update to subsequent steps, in my case Buster, then Bullseye and finally bookworm)

However, if this basically won't work, forcing me to reinstall everything (not just DOmoticz) on a clean raspbian installation, then if I have to redo everything again, I'll be forced to consider other home automation solutions, I should still start from scratch...
