Run the following command to install Git on your Alpine Linux server:
apk add --no-cache git
This installs Git and its dependencies on your system.
Run the following command to clone the DockSTARTer repository:
git clone https://github.com/GhostWriters/DockSTARTer.git
This command creates a new directory called DockSTARTer in the current working directory.
Change to the DockSTARTer directory by running the command:

Run the following command to copy the example configuration file:
cp env.sample .env
This creates a new .env file in the DockSTARTer directory.
Open the .env file in your favorite text editor and edit the environment variables based on your needs. The file contains comments that guide you on how to set up the environment variables.
When you're done editing, save and close the file.
