While I was busy studying for my AWS certifications, my other half decided to finally tackle a project they’d been meaning to do for a while: an application to store all the recipes they’d collected from various sources over the years.

They built the front-end with the Tauri framework and, since the application would only ever be used at home, stored the data in a MongoDB database hosted on the Mac Mini running as our home server.

With the portability advantages of Docker, setting up a new machine is simply a case of installing the software, running the corresponding docker-compose.yml file, and having the container downloaded and running within minutes.

As much as I admire Microsoft and their security and stability (😉), in my experience nothing beats a Linux-based OS for uptime and reliability. While I could use a Windows-based NUC, I’ve heard they can be noisier and run hot due to thermal management requirements. Given everything sits inside a 4RU Serveredge server cabinet, I didn’t want to worry too much about thermals.
