Should I stick with Docker Swarm for self-hosting? - Lemmy.World

Hi! I’m starting out with self-hosting. I was setting up Grafana for system monitoring of my mini-PC. However, I ran into issue of keeping credentials secure in my Docker Compose file. I ended up using Docker Swarm since it was the path of least resistance. I’ve managed to set up Grafana/Prometheus/Node stack and it’s working well. However, before continuing with Docker Swarm, I want to check if this is a good idea or will I potentially dig myself into a corner? Some of the options I’ve found while searching: - Continue with Docker Swarm and look into automation of stack/swarm in future - Ansible playbook has plugins for Docker Swarm. - Self-hosted vault: I want to avoid hosting my own secret/password manager at the moment. - Kubernetes (k8s / k3s) - I don’t wanna 😭 - More seriously, I’m actually learning this for work but don’t see the point of implementing it at home. The extra overhead doesn’t seem worth it for a single node cluster. - Live dangerously - Store crdentials in plaintext. Also use admin as password for everything Edit: Most of the services I’m planning on hosting will likely be a single replica service.
