We're not talking about vast fleets of  containers here but in this article I'll cover how I use docker-compose to manage over 30 docker containers in a simple, scalable and faster way than if you were using a UI.

• Don't blindly trust Docker for the selfhosted stuff — It is my strong belief that you shouldn't go crazy with all-things-docker when deploying selfhosted services at home. Online forums, especially r/selfhosted, seem to foster an opinion that providing a Dockerfile or better yet a docker-compose.yml or even prebuilt public images on Docker Hub is an acceptable way to distribute software targeting the selfhosting crowd.
