If so I apologize. I would just like some opinions and input, and I have been struggling to find anything relevant elsewhere. Please feel free to correct me if my question does not make sense or I have issue with the terminology etc. I am quite new to all of this.</p> <p>I want to to deploy my first attempt at a Flask web application. I have Raspberry Pi at home running Pi-Hole and PiVPN on Raspbian Lite, on which I would also like to run my web server. I wonder if there is any advantage of running the web server on a Docker container on the RPi?</p> <p>Can / should Docker run along-side Pi-Hole and PiVPN on the RPi, and if so what kind of docker image / web server is it recommended that I use? Or should I skip using Docker and just deploy the Flask application and its requirements directly on Raspbian with Pi-Hole and PiVPN.?</p> help
