Install Considerations

There's pluses and minuses to each install type. Be aware that:

• There is no migration script, once you've installed with one type there is no "conversion". You'll be installing a new server and migrating agents manually if you decide to go another way.

Traditional Install

• It's a VM/machine. One storage device to backup if you want to do VM based backups
• You have a backup and restore script

Docker Install

• Docker is more complicated in concept: has volumes and images
• If you're running multiple apps it uses less resources in the long run because you only have one OS base files underlying many Containers/Apps
• Backup/restore is by via Docker methods only
• Docker has container replication/mirroring options for redundancy/multiple servers
