I’ve been struggling figuring it out for the first time in a home server. Without understanding how a config file works it seems like magic.
I’ve had a rough time getting permissions to work right for each container and am still not entirely sure how upgrades work. Though I do have to admit that once I had it set up once moving it to a new server when I changed operating systems was much easier than the initial set up. It’s my first time running any kind of containerization service, and my first time running a Linux server (though I’ve used Linux off and on for over a decade) so maybe it’s just how new the idea is to me.
Upgrades can be done by either bumping the package version number in the config or using “latest” which will pull the latest version, the running the up command again.
You can automate this with a package called Watchtower which will check daily for updates for the ones you config with the latter.
