I’m gonna disagree. I followed the instruction set here on lemmy and the original on reddit using ubuntu server. It wouldn’t work. The directions are not for someone unfamiliar with linux files. There were gaps in the information that were written for people who understand the unsaid parts on how things are put together in linux, not for an “idiot like myself”.
I gave up after two days and multiple reinstalls after docker kept refusing to load. There was nothing automatic about it.
Portainer helped me finally get a wrangle on it with a webui to manage everything from with a proper UI. You can still deploy with terminal commands and dockerfiles and such, or through Portainer with app templates or stacks. But you’re not limited to the terminal when it comes to managing everything.
My post you are replying to is literally asking for pointers to install it. Not sure why you are asking for permission and not just posting here what you did so as to help everyone that comes here looking for similar help
Mostly because I figured you needed more help than a link to some guide, which I assumed you must have already attempted before asking here.
I see where your reply is coming from, but what I did might not be at all relevant to your case, depending on your setup. That’s why there are specific guides for different use-cases.
Is there somewhere I can read for an idiot like myself to completely setup via docker?

I did try that using Docker on Windows but it was an unmitigated hellscape. Just use the installers if you’re using Windows for it.
If you’re on Linux, dockstarter automates a lot of the docker set up.

Despite the response, docker isn’t that simple… I gave up on it after a couple days.
You should try this

I have it all via Docker.
Let me know if you need some pointers mate.
