DockSTARTer is a tool that simplifies the process of installing and managing Docker-based applications on your system. With this tool, you can quickly set up and configure a range of popular applications, including torrent clients, media servers, and more.
If you're using a macOS system and want to try out DockSTARTer, here's a step-by-step guide to get you started.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to clone the DockSTARTer repository to your local system. To do this, open your terminal, and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/GhostWriters/DockSTARTer.git
This will create a new directory called DockSTARTer on your local system that contains all the necessary files and scripts.
Next, you need to configure DockSTARTer to set up the applications you want to install. To do this, navigate to the DockSTARTer directory you just cloned, and open the .env file in a text editor.
In this file, you can specify the applications you want to install and configure their settings. For example, if you want to set up a torrent client, you can uncomment the TRANSMISSION_ENABLED line and set its value to true.
You can also configure other settings, such as the network settings, timezone, and more.
Once you've made the necessary changes, save the file and exit your text editor.
With DockSTARTer configured, you're now ready to start the tool. To do this, navigate to the DockSTARTer directory in your terminal and execute the following command:
./main.sh
This will start the DockSTARTer application and begin installing and configuring the applications you specified in the .env file. You'll be prompted to enter your sudo password to continue.
Once the installation is complete, you can access your applications by navigating to http://localhost in your web browser.
DockSTARTer is a powerful tool that can help you easily manage and set up Docker-based applications on your macOS system. By following these steps, you should now have DockSTARTer up and running and be able to start installing and configuring your favorite applications.
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!
