I host numerous Docker services on my Raspberry Pi 4, this setup simplifies inter-container communication and enables flexible management. With custom Bash scripts and configurations, I can enable and disable containers on restart and control service states according to my needs. Please feel free to visit my website at mirekng.com to learn more about me and my projects.
