I’ve migrated from Reddit. Loving Lemmy so far, but having tried with each of the various frontends available, I still find it hard to relate to. Is there anybody out there who could create a stylemonkey whatchamahuji like ‘Reddit Enhancement Suite’? I would if I could, but I am not good at such things.
I wouldn’t put docker in front of a nontechnical person. It was a stretch to convince my dad to watch movies on my Jellyfin server because he would be “connecting to another system” which he found concerning. I can’t imagine beginning to explain docker or how to use it to someone who just wants to download and use an app.
Not to say OP can’t figure it out or isn’t technical enough, but I would just hesitate to suggest docker as a beginner-friendly “no dev knowledge” solution.
Honestly, good security instincts by your dad though. If you’re not technical enough to understand the risks, you probably shouldn’t be connecting to random servers
That’s fair enough. I’ve gotten a number of non-devs hooked on docker containers for running self-hosted apps that didn’t have a desktop counterpart, but admittedly they were otherwise technically oriented. OP might want to look into it if they’re so inclined, but it’s easiest to just use Voyager from the website :)
It took me like a month before I was comfortable working with them on my server, but once I finally started figuring it out, I doubt I’ll ever run another server without it haha. All hail docker!
