    Unraid is pretty beginner-friendly, so it’s what I’d recommend too.

    I use it too. I have over 20 years experience running Debian servers and can write a docker-compose.yml file and Nginx config from scratch, but sometimes it’s nice to have a decent web UI that mostly “just works”.


  • I still don’t understand the three month discounts lol. Seems like a bunch of insurance plans have it. With my insurance, you can either get one month, or three months’ worth for the exact same price as one month, so I’m not sure why anyone would ever get refills monthly.

    I’m very thankful that my employers covers almost all the cost of my (and my wife’s) insurance. My wife is self-employed so it’d be pretty expensive if she needed to get her own health insurance.



  • Ah that sucks. I didn’t know that. My wife uses Zepbound and thankfully our insurance covers it so it’s only $10/month. We’re Aussies living in the USA, and GLP-1 meds aren’t covered by Australia’s public health care system yet, so right now it’s actually cheaper in the USA than in Australia.

    In Australia, medications covered by the public health care system (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) are a maximum of $25 for most people, and $7.70 for low-income families. It currently covers 930 different medications, and 7/10 people in Australia use at least one covered medication. However, uncovered medications cost the full retail price, which is still almost always cheaper than the USA.



  • Copying my comment from the homelab community:

    I haven’t tried it yet, but here’s some initial thoughts:

    Does it support multiple separate docker-compose.yml files? It would be useful if it could pull the list of containers directly from Docker rather than having to paste the docker-compose.

    Does it pull changelogs so that the user can tell if a change is a breaking change that’ll require extra work?

    It would be useful to support Webauthn/FIDO2 2FA instead of just TOTP. TOTP is being slowly phased out due to its weaknesses (it’s phishable). Similarly, it’d be useful to support single sign on using OIDC (OpenID Connect) as a lot of self-hosters use Authentik, Authelia, or Keycloak to have one login for all their self hosted services.
