What if you’re both a fanatical sync user and an arch user?

Because that’s me 🙋

That’s Top-10-social-apps-on-the-Play-store shitware app to you

How do I give more money than I already have to this pig of a dev who made the Lemmy experience so great to me and countless others such that it is now in the top 10 social apps on the Play store?

I mean… I personally do consider it the second coming of Christ 🤷

That is AWESOME! Congrats!

Yes that’s right, portainer stacks equate to compose… I might be wrong, but I remember reading somewhere a while back that they (and other container orchestration tools) were not permitted to reference “Docker” or its products (including compose) due to legal and licensing restrictions by Docker.

Not to the level of Reddit, but Docker has its fair share of questionable business decisions.

Portainer is definitely useful (I use it on a daily basis), but probably a bad place to start…

I started with the following progression:

1. Docker CLI
2. Docker-Compose
3. Writing my own scripts to build and manage docker-compose configs (purely optional and skippable)
4. Portainer
5. Purely optional, but in a professional setting, kubernetes and various container orchestration tools.

Good luck in your journey!

I took a look at Dashy, I think I see the confusion. If you are looking at this article, then yes they mention Code Server, but that’s purely in the context of using Dashy in a non-docker context. But to be honest, any text editor works.

But I think that’s a red herring. That in itself has nothing to do with docker.

What you’ll need to do, once you understand the fundamentals of running docker, pull images, start a container based on an imagine, is to expose a docker volume that points to /public/conf.yaml. A docker volume ensures that the file or directory it’s mapped to in the container is available and persists outside of the container. This allows you to persist files and directories without losing them once the container stops or restarts.

Once the volume is exposed, then you can use your favorite text editor to update the dashy config file. Code Server is fine, powerful, but overkill.

But first, try getting familiar with pulling, starting stopping docker images using the cli. Gotta start there first before tinkering with docker parameters like volumes.
