DockSTARTer is a collection of docker-compose files that help you to quickly set up a Docker-based home server. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install DockSTARTer on MXLinux Latest.
DockSTARTer requires Git to be installed on your system. To install Git, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt install git -y
Next, you need to clone the DockSTARTer repository to your local system. To do that, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/GhostWriters/DockSTARTer.git
This will clone the DockSTARTer repository to your current working directory.
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the DockSTARTer
directory and run the main.sh
script with sudo privileges:
cd DockSTARTer
sudo ./main.sh
This will start the installation process. The script will ask you a series of questions about your setup, such as which apps you want to install and what domain name you will use. Answer the questions as per your requirement.
After the installation is complete, start the docker containers by running the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This will start all the applications you have installed via DockSTARTer.
Now that the Docker containers are running, you can access the applications through your web browser. To do so, go to http://<your-ip-address>
in your browser. Replace <your-ip-address>
with the IP address of your server.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DockSTARTer on MXLinux Latest. Enjoy your Docker-based home server!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
