Docker & Databases. Stack or Individual? - selfhosted - kbin.social
kbin.social
So I'm in the process of (re-) setting up my homelab and unsure about how to handle databases. Many images require a database, which the docker-compose usually provides inside the stack....

Mooching off this other post

Primary question: What do people do for their reverse proxies (and associated ACME clients)? Do you have a single unified one? Or do you use separate proxies for each stack? Or some mess in between?

My use case question: For example, I have a (mess that is a) Nextcloud instance with a separate stack with nginx and ACME, a SearXng that wants to run caddy (but has shoved into the nginx).

But now I have a Lemmy docker that has a custom(?) nginx instance, should I just port it to my existing nginx or run them side by side?

    I am just running the normal nginx image with /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/ssl/private as volume. certbot does the rest. If you need help with the exact config just search for relevant keywords, there are tons of good tutorials
