So I’ve got an old PC with a SSD for root drive, and then a HDD with 1tb for external.

I’ve been told linux is the way to go for self-hosting docker containers, whether it be portainer to manage, sonarr, etc.

I’m running into nothing but round arounds with linux and I just can’t seem to figure this out. Can I just use windows instead to host my docker images? How can I point to my external drive to host all the docker stuff so my SSD doesn’t get crowded?

I’m lost here.

    I dont get the other comments at all.

    Windows will start a Linux vm to enable docker. I work on both systems and I never had any issue at all from an os perspective. I also mainly develop inside of containers, so I would count me as a quite frequent user.

      Could the downvoters might explain where I‘m wrong? I‘m eager to learn and to fix my own misunderstanding
