## History
During my studies I tried out making my own server with Hardware that I already had: Old Laptop and Computer.

First I tried out [Caprover](caprover.com) which provided solid hosting but had a massive negative. It uses the Docker CLI and thus more complex setups as well as the usage of Docke-Compose was difficult to impossible.

After 6 Months of runtime, I then decided to switch to [Dokploy](dokploy.com). Some probably now a bit more about it. It works mainly with Docker-Compose and was thus much better to use. Until I did not like their Modus-Operandi anymore.

So here we are now. Currently the server is running [Proxmox](proxmox.com) it might not be the greatest but is the perfect ground to grow knowledge about Enterprise Server solutions in the SaaS domain. As a matter of a fact this website is hosted on it!
