Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

That seems like a bad idea
As other stated it’s not a bad way of managing volumes. In my scenario I store all volumes in a
/config
folder.For example on my SearXNG instance I have a volume like such:
This makes the files for SearXNG two folders away. I also store these in the
/home/YourUser
directory so docker avoids using sudoers access whenever possible.So why would you not write out the full path? I frequently rerun compose commands from various places, if I'm troubleshooting an issue.
The other day my raspberry pi decided it didn’t want to boot up, I guess it didn’t like being hosted on an SD card anymore, so I backed up my
compose
folder and reinstalled Rasp Pi OS under a different username than my last install.If I specified the full path on every container it would be annoying to have to redo them if I decided I want to move to another directory/drive or change my username.
I'd just do it with a simple search and replace. Have done. I feel like relative paths leave too much room for human error.
