Should I move to Docker? (lemmy.ca)

I'm a retired Unix admin. It was my job from the early '90s until the mid '10s. I've kept somewhat current ever since by running various machines at home. So far I've managed to avoid using Docker at home even though I have a decent understanding of how it works - I stopped being a sysadmin in the mid '10s, I still worked for a technology company and did plenty of "interesting" reading and training.

It seems that more and more stuff that I want to run at home is being delivered as Docker-first and I have to really go out of my way to find a non-Docker install.

I'm thinking it's no longer a fad and I should invest some time getting comfortable with it?

I use Mailcow and like it a lot.

I use a mail service (MXRoute) as an outbound SMTP relay though, since I don't want to have to deal with deliverability, especially to picky services like Microsoft Hotmail/Outlook. It's a trade off. Other relays like SMTP2Go and Amazon SES work well too.

So I'm self-hosting the mailboxes, but when I send mail through my server, it sends them via MXRoute.
