@GregorTacTac If you use containers you can map something like 8080 on the host to 80 in the container. Generally it’s recommended to have a reverse proxy listening on 80 and 443 with all your individual applications on localhost only high ports.

@Tippon That is a big part of the point behind containers, you don’t have any long term state inside them. Migration is just a case of copying the configuration over along with the contents of any persistent volumes.

It’s worth looking into Podman instead of Docker, the daemon-less architecture makes it more lightweight and secure as it’s easier to have rootless containers. Management can also be easer as being a Red Hat project it integrates well into Systemd.

With your existing server on Xubuntu you may as well stick with Ubuntu Server or Debian for the familiarity.

@nutbutter @noride The container section is, but the rest of it is operating on the host system more like Webmin does.
