How to deal with docker containers?

I have inherited some cloud hosted vms, with several services hosted in docker containers on these. Think we server and then DB, both hosted in separate containers. Several (overpriced) vms are involved. Would really like some pointers as to how I can get into these / edit them. Would really like to consolidate. I use proxmox at...

If you have proxmox at home, play with docker in a VM, there are a great deal of docker images you can throw up and play with to help you understand. Once you get that down, play with building docker images to wrap your head around that, then best to copy the image that’s being used in your work infra if you need to make changes, then throw it up on another test VM to ensure you don’t break anything before pulling it into the live environment.

As for how the docker infra is setup, your explanation is pretty vague as far as what the images are doing, so nobody will really be able to tell you without that information - but my bet would be resources and/or segmentation

Makes sense, but wouldn’t you have an issue with sharing to a group/shared mailbox?

Not a fan of “anyone with a link” personally, that’s the only way I can think of that working smoothly

Very nice setup! My work environment was only VMware ESXi’s, it’s a solid solution but gets expensive!

On-prem infrastructure is way less fun than having a full cloud stack, how are you enjoying that, and are there any big snags you all have run into?

Currently in the process of doing the same at work, we mainly utilize file servers(already migrated to SharePoint), DC’s (in process of going full AAD, Endpoint Manager[intune], AutoPilot), and Print Servers (currently testing full cloud solution to replace). This would allow us to be “server less” and no on-prem infrastructure aside from switching/routing/firewalls, and we can segment our network completely since users won’t need to talk to anything on-prem anymore.

Very nice!! Running anything fun on it?

Glad this is here! /r/sysadmin is super useful and hopefully we can create a similar community here.

@DarraignTheSane if you need more mods, I’d be happy to help!
