Hi! I'm still learning a lot. I have a raspberry pie (on raspian) with pi-hole, pivpn and outbound as a dns resolver. The next step will be for me to set up nextcloud. But I'm reading a lot on docker and containers these days and want to deploy docker now. Should I start again from the begining setting up docker and after pi-hole, pivpn and everything or could I keep everything the way it is now and then installing docker? The latter would be the best for me, but I don't know what to look for when installing docker after pivpn, pie hole etc. Thanks you a lot for the help

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your response and help!! You gave me the confidence to just try it and learn by doing it

You don't need to restart per say, like you could migrate everything but it absolutely isn't necessary; and for a system that's productive id even avise you not to until you're more comfortable with docker.

There shouldn't be any issues with on metal services living together with docker, in fact I have some services running that way myself.
