RabbitMQ vs NATS for a self-hosted app: routing, delivery guarantees, Docker Compose setups, Python code, and which broker to run for background jobs.

Meilisearch and Typesense both promise instant search without Elasticsearch's weight. I ran both in Docker and picked a winner per self-hosted use case.

Docker MCP Toolkit sandboxes AI agent tools in containers. Here's exactly what that isolation stops, where it silently breaks, and how to configure it safely.

Komodo's community MCP server beats mounting the Docker socket or handing an AI agent SSH: scoped auth, per-tool RBAC, and confirmation before deletes.

Tinyauth vs Pocket ID vs Authelia compared for home labs: setup cost, forward-auth support, real OIDC, passkeys, 2FA, and when to move up to Authentik.

Pterodactyl, Pelican, and Crafty Controller compared on container isolation, install steps, and RAM footprint, with verified versions and a real pick.

One host, 20 Unix users, 20 rootless Docker daemons. The isolation model that beats a single shared daemon, plus the trade-offs nobody tells you about.

Run OSRM in Docker with a regional OSM extract, compile a routing profile, and get your own /route endpoint live. Profile compilation gotchas included.

Stop paying the geocoding tax. Self-host Nominatim on Docker with an OpenStreetMap regional extract and own your address lookups end to end.

An AI coding agent rebuilding the same tag all day fills a disk fast. The mechanism, the truth about volume pruning, and a systemd timer that fixes it.

Stoat runs 16 containers and Fluxer runs 25. I read both Compose files line by line, and found the bigger stack is the easier one to actually self-host.

Docker volumes, version pinning, health checks, and tuning. A production-ready Postgres Compose template with init scripts and backup strategy.
