Introduction¶
What DockSTARTer Is¶
- DockSTARTer is a script that installs Docker and other dependencies for you.
- DockSTARTer comes with configurations to run various apps.
- DockSTARTer can be operated through a friendly GUI of terminal menus.
- DockSTARTer can be operated through commands for more advanced users who do not prefer the GUI.
- DockSTARTer is here to give you the freedom to choose what you want to run.
- DockSTARTer allows you to run apps that are not included using Overrides / Introduction.
What DockSTARTer Is Not¶
- DockSTARTer is not a pre-made set of apps that run an exact way (you get to choose what to run and how to run it).
- DockSTARTer does not configure apps for you (think of it more like installing apps as a service, settings inside the app are still up to you, although our documentation will have recommendations).
- DockSTARTer does not configure storage for you (you may use local storage, or cloud storage, multiple disks, raid, etc).
System Requirements¶
Supported Operating Systems¶
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.
Any operating system based on one of the above (ex: Raspbian) should also work as long as you can install the officially supported script. DockSTARTer will attempt to perform this install for you if possible.
Supported Hardware¶
Any x86_64
or aarch64
system should be able to run one of the supported operating systems listed above. ARM CPUs may have a limited selection of supported containers.
Windows Support¶
Currently we recommend installing one of the supported platforms above in a VM. In the future we may be able to support the Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2.
