Rocky Linux

Docker is powerful… but let’s be honest, it can get messy fast. In this video, I test Cosmos Server on Ubuntu 24.04 to see if it can actually replace the typical Docker + reverse proxy + SSL stack in a home lab. We’ll install it, deploy apps, enable HTTPS, and talk honestly about the pros, cons, and hidden tradeoffs. If you’re self-hosting and tired of complexity, this might change how you build your server. https://cosmos-cloud.io Rocky Linux Supported by CIQ: https://ciq.com/products/rocky-linux/ CompTIA Linux+ Certifcation Course https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjuNew2L8Y5eDuBAzDFnAZ5Yz_1KXFgr1&si=ohY10h4JupD60CPR Remember to Like, Share, and Subscribe if you enjoyed the video!
