@chad The only real downsides I've experienced with Docker (and this could be a skill issue) is that sometimes an app will misbehave and dump logs into your Docker image and it can be a pain to figure out what's going on. And depending on how stripped down the Linux distro that the image ships with is, you might not have all the tools you'd like/expect to have in the shell for the image.
Overall though, the trade off it worth it. IMHO

@tylxr Ya, I’ve been using docker for years, too. It’s greatly simplified my setup, so I’m very fond of it. I just haven’t migrated my Masto instance yet. I work as a Rails dev, so I’m really familiar with managing it, but I’d still rather avoid managing dependencies if I can avoid it. I set up a new host this morning and configured it in Komodo, so I think I’m ready to migrate. After looking at the compose file that they offer, it should be a pretty straightforward process. 🤞
