From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

docker I guess, I still don't know how it works, create them, etc
You don't have to know how it works in order to use it. I don't know either but I could host services using docker. trust me it's way easier than it seems.
Same here. Even easier if you use an app to manage it for you like dockge, portainer, Cosmos, etc.
You don't have to... if the project you want to use has a good setup process. Otherwise you'll be scouring Docker docs, GitHub issues, and StackOverflow for years.
Docker, how they work?
Docker? I barely know her!
I've been using linux on and off for 20 years and docker reignited my interest for running linux. There's plenty of good guides and free courses, if you need help finding one - let me know and I'll send you a YT playlist.
Docker compose is amazing. I don't even know how many things I'm running right now. Hell I'm running things I didn't even use! (I could easily disable or delete them; I'm just lazy)
its counter intuitive to learn but a godsend after you learn it
And then when to do learn it, it pisses you off when something doesn't have a freely available image.
How to docker-compose in thirty seconds.
Simply make a file called
Then paste in the text from your application's docker-compose instructions.
Often the timezone needs to be set, along with the volume
Example:
This means the application's data directory will be mounted at /mnt/hdd/data
Then
You're done, that's all there is.
docker-compose is fantastic because in a single compose.yaml file you can list multiple services.
For example, my compose.yaml file contains my sonarr/radarr/bazarr/lidarr/prowlarr/qbittorrent/deemix/jellyfish/jellyseerr
And I can update them all by running a shell script made of three lines.
