Docker can be really confusing, but IMO being able to add and remove software without having changes made throughout your system is well worth the effort.
AI can be of great help when learning docker, as it is genuinely super confusing. You don't "find" docker, it's a terminal program that you interact with... From the terminal.
I'm gonna get A LOT of hate for this, but check out Warp terminal. It has a really nice GUI for configuration and really nice autocomplete for commands.
Try a more managed and out-of-the-box solution first, then work your way down to the commandline. I'd recommend one of the NAS solutions like openmediavault (if they still do docker) or https://cockpit-project.org/
or Docker for Desktop or podman.io
(maybe lxc containers with proxmox or unraid)
I would check out tutorials or YouTube videos. Try: https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/sabnzbd-in-container-manager-on-a-synology-nas/
Sudo docker will do the trick. Docker does some networking shit so it needs admin privileges
Don't give up, don't listen to goober 🤓 itt telling you to read manpages that shit is worthless.
OP: chatGPT is your personal Linux guru. Pretend it's your friend who knows everything about linux and tell it what you want to achieve.
Paste in any error messages and it will tell you how to fix them. Just make sure it knows what distro you're using first.
That's how I learned to use docker :)
Man, good luck. Is there no other way you can accomplish that without Docker. I've been using Linux for years and I still don't know how to set up a docker container lol
If you're not planning to actually learn Docker, use an LLM AI to help you out. I just tried the following prompt in Gemini "generate docker-compose.yml that runs audiobookshelf and Sonarr with Sabnzbd" and it generated something that looks reasonable. Then you can follow it up with prompts like "how do I auto start it on linux?" and it will generate the systemd unit, and also tell you what commands to run.
Linux
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.
