Applications

Most likely, we are selfhosting not for the server's sake, but to run some useful applications we plan on using. This setup intends to run applications as Docker containers, if possible, which is why we installed and set up docker in the previous Host section.

The next steps typically involve Adding applications, by creating the relevant files and directory structure, with the docker-compose.yaml files as the central points.

Additionally, we often need to Set up ENV to configure and manage the environment for our home server applications.

Lastly, yhe section Manage containers offers some notes on working with the Docker containers.
