Lately I moved to a new VPS to get better bang for the buck, old machine is called Carrie, new maching is RBG. I have many different installations, and they each needed different handling.

sync over files

Using a naiive rsync between the two Debian machines I discovered the hard was that synching over /opt/docker-data (even while both docker and containerd were down) was not working because different versions use different storage metadata formats and such.

You can either export stopped containers, or commit them to images. You can export and import images,

Docker

Clear dangling images to save space

docker rmi $(docker images --filter "dangling=true" -q --no-trunc)

More brutal (get rid of anythng not running! CAREFUL!)

docker system prune

I don't like ad-blockers

Why? Don't remember.

Seriously! I haven't used one in years so I forgot. I remember one used to crash my browser, another slowed it down and leaked memory, a third one turned out to get sponsors in exchange for spying after the users, I just stopped trusting them all together and then came out the EFF's privacy badger and solved both ads and privacy. Yes, it has no slick UI for adding ad sources from a page, but I get to select which URLs are blocked, or just blocked for cookies, etc.

TL;DR: This doc is aimed at power users (or power user wannabes like me) that want a few more life improving toys to improve their GNU/Unix/MacOS work environment work for them more conveniantly or at least with more bells, whistles and pazzaz (All of the above for me, thanks).

It starts with a section for developer, but see the section about dot-files below for more general environment recommendations.
