I would have used Docker and Docker Compose a whole lot more. There's servers I've realized I've been hosting for over a year and forgotten about. At least with Docker I can check on those much more easily
My homelab started as an experiment when I discovered docker and proxmox. I spun up things randomly without paying much attention to resource allocation and any form of order. I ended up using a lot of these services in my daily workflow and they became central to my daily workflow. Now, I am running low on resources on some of my servers due to over allocation and have docker containers randomly in different VMs. I wish I thought this journey through and realized that I will be doing this homelabbing for the long run.
