==Application Servers==
There are several and even a reason why it is that way. They are listed here. These are all virtual machines, VMs, that are hosted on the main Proxmox server [[pve]].

== Content Management ==
Having the applications is great, but quickly becomes more than a person can keep in their head. Where is the app located? What port is it served from all needs to be abstracted in order to be easily adopted. Basically, people come to the application in order to use then and not spent much time trying to find them. My adoption and use of the tools has changed over time. Docker and Docker Compose are great, but can be a challenge to work with because of their complexity. The management systems work by insulating the administrator from a lot of the details. The tradeoff is, of course, that flexibility may be limited.

===Yams===
I started with Yams and am not really unhappy with it. It is a pretty straight from the box docker management application. Docker compose scripts can be added to a local yaml file and started from docker. Generally, after it is running, the deployrr app is used to set up a proxy so that it can be run from https://name.maceys.net where name is the application. Most of the applications here are available through deployrr. The main media applications are still here for the time being.

The usage information for Yams is here: [https://yams.media/install/using-the-cli/ Using the Yams CLI]
===Deployrr===
Deployrr is the next generation application management tools. It combines Docker and the Traefik proxy server and wraps them into a command line application to manage the whole stack. The author has put a great deal of effort making this work. I support him with an annual subscription. At this point, unless there is a really good reason to apply some other approach, I use Deployrr

Detailed information on Deployrr is here [https://github.com/SimpleHomelab/Deployrr Deployrr].
