Forget Kubernetes, This Is How I Run my Docker Containers [YouTube Release]

Additional Resources:

Ever wonder what Docker containers I actually run? In this video, I’ll walk you through my setup from running Docker on a single Debian 13 VM with simple bind mounts, to the containers I use which are listed in the forum link down below. This approach keeps my home lab clean, easy to manage, and simple to back up.

How come you didn’t cover the netbird config? That and Jellyfin were the two containers I found the most interesting when I saw that you run everything through a VM.

Your setup adds a little extra complexity with those two containers. Passing disks/images/pools and NICs/bridges through the VM then container. I imagine you do that b/c you don’t feel comfortable just running debian on the host? Curious why. Running this stuff on the host is a lot cleaner & simpler with the right skill set - which I presume you definitely have.
