  • I’m going to assume everyone here saying use docker is fully conversant with docker already. As someone who already happily has multiple services hosted on multiple (extremely light) VMs I would say just leave docker alone. I have spend most of today trying to get some containers in docker working (reliably, which is what a lot of people miss). Yes getting docker up and running and containers working is simple, but if it all goes sideways tomorrow what are you going to do? What’s your backup plan? IME it’s much harder to get a docker stack back up and running using your own data than simply restoring a backup to a VM host. There are a couple of things I want to use that are docker only and there is something to trip you up at every turn. It’s another level of complexity you don’t need. If you have a working environment now then why would you need to add docker?

    The only thing I would say would be to maybe use a different distro for hosting everything on, but overall “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.



  • They won’t just plug in to your network and share access with anyone as some other commenter is suggesting. They want to protect their customers from you as much as you want to be protected from them.

    You really need to ask them, we don’t know what they are fitting or how they are doing it. Surprised they are sharing your internet, I started a WISP and when we did this we’d have our own connection, we wouldn’t just share the homeowners internet.






  • Yeah the IP:s are there for the world to see, but you won’t easily know they belong to me unless I point to them from my domain.

    As has been pointed out though, it makes no difference and no-one cares. No-one is manually cross referencing IP’s and domains, and besides, what difference will it make anyway?

    I’ve heard this argument before with someone saying they use DDNS on all customer sites instead of static IPs as it’s “more secure” because there’s a website out there with exposed desktops listed on it.
