My first experience with TomSparkBox and suggestions for new functions

Posted by The_L

Yesterday I was using gemini to try make arr stack from scratch in docker. After 6 hours I did not manage to do it... Sparkbox made it sooo much easy... Even after some slight problems with vpn (my own fault I did not know private keys are for single machine) I asked the tom ai for help and it was actually helpful ... really great experience. I am looking forward to see how it holds up long term. Thank you Tom! Also if you would want to add some features in the future I have few suggestions. First would be to add arr stack for books too. Seems like logical next step. Also I would love something for hosting game servers. I own amp but did not figure out how to make it work in docker (there is unofficial way) and virtual machine seems to be less flexible and with larger resource drain. So maybe pterodactyl would be cool think to add as opensource way to host some games for friends? Thanks again for your work Tom. L

Really glad it clicked for you, especially after 6 hours of fighting Docker by hand! And good instinct catching the VPN key thing yourself — that trips a lot of people up early on. Both suggestions are logged for Tom to weigh: a books/reading stack and game-server hosting (Pterodactyl) come up now and then, so this is useful signal either way. No promises on timing, but noted. Welcome aboard!
