Not every container is based on the LinuxServer.io stack. I can't take any arbitrary container and use the docker mod and have it work. I have over 25 containers running on my home server and not a single one of them is based on a LinuxServer.io image. This "universal" mod would work with 0 of them.

Would you list them? I’m always looking for cool new containers for my homelab

    Awesome! Thank you!

    Do you find GitLab and its Runners to be heavy at all in your home lab? I'm curious if anyone's been using Gitea/Forgejo with Actions or Woodpecker (Drone).
    - upon_drumhead 3y ago
      I have the runner set to poll every 60 seconds, so it's not using any real resources unless it's running a build. Gitlab itself is the heaviest consumer of resources, however, having the integrated CI system is worth it for me. I use gitlab at work, so it's familiar.

    > Cloud storage for phones: http://nextcloud.com http://nextcloud.com Thanks, that sums it up for me. I used OC/NC for years but in the last three I mostly abandoned it because the desktop app (for Windows, at least) is atrocious and Android one... isn't good either. But as on-demand document download with occasional upload it's fine.

    do you find any blocklisting issues running a relay only? i heard in the long, long ago that people who even just ran relays would find themselves on IP blocklists because of ignorant blocklist builders not knowing the difference between exit and non-exit nodes or grabbing the wrong lists
    - upon_drumhead 3y ago
      I have not and I’ve run the relay for about 5 years now. I do get lots of captchas on cloudflare, but generally they’re just the click to prove you are a human style and it’s not too bad for the household.

As others have said, you can run a sidecar container and proxy your current containers through the sidecar, and into the Tailscale network. They are universal in that the docker containers can run on any docker host, not that they are guaranteed to mesh/drop in and run inside whatever random containers you already run. Not sure why I am being downvoted for asking a genuine question out of curiosity…

LinuxServer.io containers rock for homelab. Not sure why you wouldn't use them.
