My friend just shared the existence of this software with me, and it looks perfect for me. His setup uses docker though, and mine doesn’t. The non-docker instructions seem simple enough, but I can’t figure out how to install the requirements. The “pip install” complains and says I should use apt, but I can’t find most of those requirements in my sources. For example “python3-verboselogs” isn’t found. Can someone help? I’d love to get this running!

    Take it from someone who is a Linux noob and Googles for terminal commands every time, and whose most used keys are ctrl c, ctrl v…

    1. Go to official docker documentation, copy paste the commands to install docker.
    2. go to Portainer documentation, copy paste the commands to install Portainer Community Edition
    3. Find a service you want to install, copy the ‘docker compose’ text. (A good first service to install is Watchtower which takes care of updating other containers)
    4. go to Portainer, find the ‘stacks’ tab, paste, click ‘deploy’

    Don’t do this on your main server. Use some old hardware or a cheap VPS to practise on.

    The main skill I need is googling and asking AI. It’s that easy.
