The main goal of DockSTARTer is to make it quick and easy to get up and running with Docker.

You may choose to rely on DockSTARTer for various changes to your Docker system or use DockSTARTer as a stepping stone and learn to do more advanced configurations.

Getting Started

System Requirements

• You must be running a supported platform or an operating system based on a supported platform. Platforms named below will link to documentation listing compatible versions.
• You must be logged in as a non-root user with sudo permissions.

One Time Setup (required)

• APT Systems (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)

  sudo apt-get install curl git
  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://get.dockstarter.com)"
  sudo reboot

  Raspbian requires a few extra commands

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  sudo apt-get install curl git
  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com)"
  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://get.dockstarter.com)"
  sudo reboot

  OpenMediaVault (OMV) requires special instructions found here

• DNF Systems (Fedora)

  sudo dnf install curl git
  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://get.dockstarter.com)"
  sudo reboot

• YUM Systems (CentOS)

  sudo yum install curl git
  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://get.dockstarter.com)"
  sudo reboot

• Pacman Systems (Arch, Manjaro, EndeavourOS, etc.)

  Note that systems with the pacman package manager will not install docker via the https://get.docker.com script that is used for other distros. The instructions below provide information on installing all the required packages manually before installing DockSTARTer.

  sudo pacman -Sy curl docker git
  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://get.dockstarter.com)"
  sudo reboot

Alternate install (any system)

The standard install above downloads the initial script using a method with some known risks. For those concerned with the security of the above method, here is an alternative:

## NOTE: Run the appropriate command for your distro
sudo apt-get install curl git
sudo dnf install curl git
sudo yum install curl git
sudo pacman -Sy curl docker git

Then

git clone https://github.com/GhostWriters/DockSTARTer "/home/${USER}/.docker"
sudo bash /home/"${USER}"/.docker/main.sh -vi
sudo reboot

Running DockSTARTer
