Should I be learning docker compose instead of relying on dockStarter to manage my containers? I got portainer up, should I just use that to manage my stack?
I’m committed this summer to finally learning docker. I’m on day 3 and the last puzzle piece is being able to access qbittorrent locally while running the container through the vpn.

What you need then is swarm compose, that can run any service in global mode (in all nodes all the time) or scale mode.

not sure I understand you, in docker swarm your containers are started on n number of works from a single compose file on a manager. you can add any number of work nodes to scale your service as needed

That’s not container orchestration, that’s infrastructure orchestration. Depending on your use case docker swarm could just the right tool for the job.
You’ve been using Aws and they will happily let you add more nodes to your container runner of choice

Sure, but what you are describing is the problem that k8s solves.
I’ve run plenty of production things from docker compose. Auto scaling hasn’t been a requirement, and HA was built into the application (so 2 separate VMs running the compose stack). Docker was perfect for it, and k8s would’ve been a sledgehammer.
