I’ve never really like the convoluted docker tooling. And I’ve been hit a few times with a docker image uodates just breaking everything (looking at you nginx reverse proxy manager…). Now I’ve converted everything to nixos services/containers. And i couldn’t be happier with the ease of configuration and control. Backup is just.a matter of pushing my flake to github and I’m done.
You can also solder a new one on (if the old one is too ripped up). They are pretty cheap. Even with a new soldering iron it’s still much cheaper than possibly a new motherboard. But i don’t know whether these are at all that important, so i don’t know if it’s worth it.
