DockSTARTer is a script that makes setting up and managing Docker containers easy. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install DockSTARTer on Manjaro.
Before beginning the installation process, you will need the following:
DockSTARTer requires Docker to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install Docker on Manjaro:
sudo pacman -S docker
After installing Docker, start the Docker service and enable it to start upon system boot:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Verify that Docker is installed and working properly by running the following command:
sudo docker run hello-world
You should see a message indicating that Docker is working correctly.
DockSTARTer is available on GitHub, and we will be downloading it using Git. Install Git on your system by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
Now that Docker and Git are installed, it's time to install DockSTARTer. Use Git to clone the DockSTARTer repository:
git clone https://github.com/GhostWriters/DockSTARTer.git
Change directory into the DockSTARTer directory:
cd DockSTARTer
Run the DockSTARTer setup script with the following command:
./main.sh
The setup script will prompt you for some information, including your timezone and which Docker services you would like to install.
After the installation is complete, your Docker services will be running and you can access their web interfaces to configure them further.
In this tutorial, we walked through the process of installing DockSTARTer on Manjaro. With DockSTARTer installed, you can easily manage and configure Docker containers on your system.
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!
