Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps (reddthat.com)

Anyone else just sick of trying to follow guides that cover 95% of the process, or maybe slightly miss a step and then spend hours troubleshooting setups just to get it to work?

I think I just have too much going in my "lab" the point that when something breaks (and my wife and/or kids complain) it's more of a hassle to try and remember how to fix or troubleshoot stuff. I lightly document myself cuz I feel like I can remember well enough. But then it's a style to find the time to fix, or stuff is tested and 80%completed but never fully used because life is busy and I don't have loads of free time to pour into this stuff anymore. I hate giving all that data to big tech, but I also hate trying to manage 15 different containers or VMs, or other services. Some stuff is fine/easy or requires little effort, but others just don't seem worth it.

I miss GUIs with stuff where I could fumble through settings to fix it as is easier for me to look through all that vs read a bunch of commands.

Idk, do you get lab burnout? Maybe cuz I do IT for work too it just feels like it's never ending...

only 1gbE

What needs more than 1gbe? Are you streaming 8k?

Sounds like you are your own worst enemy. Take a step back and think about how many of these projects are worth completing and which are just for fun and draw a line.

And automate. There are tools to help with this.

I think they wanted to mean it was a bottleneck while moving to the new hardware

Yeah, transferring 80TB took what felt like an eternity. My Plex has a 2.5GbE and my switch is 10GbE but my SFP+ NIC in the storage wasn't playing well..
