minus-squarezingo@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoYes, Docker apps are more appropriate for servers and most apps are “made” to run 24/7 to serv the home or workplace. They are very much worth the “work to setup” as they can be transfered/replicated to any system. Flatpak and the alike are for running apps on a desktop/laptop.
