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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Why allow "everyone" to have read write permission to shared folders in order to run container manager? Wouldn't this be insecure?

I mean unless specified otherwise most Synology container management dockers will run as root. With that said, if you want to secure things then there are guides.

An alternative path would be to setup a specific docker user and use docker compose to use that user when installing images

From there you could go further and use the guides above to create one user per docker image and give them different permissions depending on need.
