Hello everyone,
I have some questions about applications and containers in Container Station. In terms of usage, both can connect to services using IP + port number, and there seems to be no difference. However, containers created using Docker Compose cannot be exported, which seems a bit inconvenient. Still, I believe it was created for a reason and I’d like to understand under what condition I need to build an application instead of creating a container.
Applications can contain a lot of different container apps (e.g. webserver,database,etc.) and are configured during setup via a YAML.
Best case for those is that you backup the fixed storage addresses (webserver files, etc) that you indicate during setup, and in case of a broken NAS or container, you can just spin up a new version by running the YAML again.
like it’s
version: “3.8”
services:
web:
image: nginx
ports:
- “8080:80”
db:
image: postgres
environment:
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword
