Hi everyone! I'm trying to set up an internal web application using Redmine with Docker Compose. We're looking at around 1000 users, although they won't all be using it at the same time. Currently, my setup includes a docker-compose.yaml specifically for the Redmine container, a MariaDB server installed directly on the host machine (not in a container), and a bind mount of 30 GB for attachments. I'm also considering running NGINX, but I'm unsure if I should install it as a service on the host or include it as a container in my Docker Compose file. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It really depends on your preference—do you want a dockerized setup for NGINX, or are you leaning towards having it run directly on the host? Generally, the best practice is to keep everything containerized if you can; it makes management a lot easier in the long run. Just remember that if you run NGINX as a container, you'll need to handle some networking considerations for it to connect properly with the Redmine container.
That's what I was thinking too! Keeping everything in containers seems like it would streamline things.
