Jeez this took an age to get working but it's done!

A DS18B20 1-wire temperature probe connected to a RPi 3A+, monitoring the temperature of the water in the hot water tank (as best it can; it's just touching the outside of the tank).

Data collection and display is being done by Munin (thanks @darac for the suggestion!) node on the Pi, master on my home server.

@fatedfox Happy birthday!!! 💜​

TL;DR because I rambled a lot.

Some projects/guides use docker as if it were FlatPak or AppImage and that kinda grinds my gears. https://computerfairi.es/@renbymon/112852577845366039

Honestly if you like docker then that's great but here me out:

Docker on enterprise servers? ✅ Yep
Docker instead of VMs? ✅ Sure why not?
Docker because you want to? ✅ Of course!
Docker on a single board computer for one job? ❌ Nonononono please just tell me the steps involved so I can learn how the system works!

This Reddit post kinda sums up how I feel about docker:

Everytime I look up advice/details of how to do something on Linux and the project/guide doesn't explain what to do, but instead has a docker image, my resolve to never use docker increases a little bit more.

I get why docker exists and I'm not saying that it's not useful but wow I really do not want the question "How do I do x" to be answered with "Use this docker image"
