How to use Docker and migrate your existing Apps to your Linux Server?

[@Stormendrang]

Dear Christian,
During my (quite long) employment history as an IT pro, I have not seen many teachers with your excellent teaching skills.
Thank you for this great explanation and nice video!

[@GorkemYildirim]

Complete guide for beginners and yes, Portainer is the way to go.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks mate! ❤

so somehow this method strange. what if I for example on the system where e.g. a webserver runs various settings made on the webserver, no idea e.g. that the start index file is called differently. these settings are made mostly in the /etc/ directory. then I make the migration with this method, then the data are the same, but the changes in the /etc directory are no longer present. and the system will no longer work correctly on the new side.
how do i proceed then ?

[@Dmkjr]

Easiest question of the day. What terminal are you using? I love the look of that.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks mate! I'm using Windows Terminal, I plan to do a full video on my whole setup soon so I hope that will be interesting, too

[@trinib1]

love these videos.. you started in a year, and already almost 10k subscribers🎊.. you should make more videos on open source projects and how to use them

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much! 🥰 Thats a great suggestion.

[@Dmkjr]

I agree. Not only does this highlight open source programs, but also allows for further development [feedback] to those developers (encouraging). I personally run 10 or more applications that are open source and I've been committed to providing good feedback -- whether it's bad or good.

[@user-xt4wr5do5z]

You're good, man! Keep up the good work

[@sladgeh4mmer992]

Thanks for the video ... high speed information flow and very helpful! I like your style presenting the content. With the portainer app i want to set up a gitlab environment. This could be another topic for portainer and how to access the service from other devices

[@christianlempa]

Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you like the new refreshed style 😄, good suggestion as well!

[@UltimateJiuJitsu]

Thank you Christian! Excellent demo!

[@christianlempa]

Thank you bro

[@mal-avcisi9783]

this guy knows his shiat ! great !

[@yashmishra9603]

we can also run Linux container in windows os.

[@christianlempa]

Nope you can't

[@mohammedalhabib4446]

Excellent and quick helpful guide.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks! :)

[@adagmemes]

Thank you for the video!!!

[@try-that]

Excellent run through. Very well done.
Ideas for you, I'd like to see a wireguard container that can be used by other containers such as deluge.
Wireguard containers seem to be problematic in getting them to run correctly on their own and with other containers

[@christianlempa]

Thank you 😊, I'm currently thinking about making new wireguard content soon, so I might take a look at this.

Thank you, bro! :)

[@maksymdudyk1718]

Great video, Chris! Thank you! I wish you had a tut on VPS + docker management for a begginer like me?

[@christianlempa]

Running docker on a VPS isn’t really different from any other Linux machine. If you need help check out our discord :)

[@bryonmiller4326]

I don't really understand docker. I am just learning how all of this works within ESXi right now. I set everything up on a home lab not a host so I have unrealistic resources given to each VM. I don't really want to host my ecommerce site from home though but I have it all setup on the home servers. Am I understanding docker correctly in this sense? If I wanted to move my website to a paid host, if I set everything up in docker, I could basically take my website and put it into a docker image that would then be like a video game cartridge I could just plug in at any host I use? I'd have to setup a linux vm and setup docker just like I do at home, then once that's done, it's as simple as running the container and redirecting dns and setting up ssl and it'll just work?

[@giannifed]

thank you Christian

[@barkingbandicoot]

Ugh. I cannot grok this! When he is talking about migrating apps he is talking about doing so on the same server, no?
What if I want to migrate data off a shared host server into a new VPS server set up and running Docker with Caprover?
Can I just move the data over into the same file directory as before or does Docker have a containerised filesystem for every app? If so, how to get get data into them?

[@christianlempa]

You need to store all config data in persistent volumes. Then you can easily migrate the data over to another machine.

[@cleightthejw2202]

I have a question
If one is running a Ubuntu server in Virtualbox (or some other) where the host is a Windows OS, can docker containers be run in that environment on the Ubuntu server?
Which one is technically the 'host' to the docker container- Linux server or Windows?

[@danielvega646]

Does this even apply for git and IDLEs like intelij or vscode?

[@andreaquentino1068]

super!

[@Skip-bk4gg]

Love Docker, even I run Game-Servers now through it :)

[@christianlempa]

Really cool! Which games?

[@JayPatel-wn7hs]

Ya cool... please tell us. Which game.?

[@Skip-bk4gg]

@@christianlempa You can find on Docker Hub a unofficial Version from the Satisfactory Game-server. I've running two Server, one in my local Network and one on VPS for Playing with Friends. It has worked out of the Box, really cool. And I've created a Valheim-Game server on Top of the Ubuntu Server Image. It running also in my local Network only for me but working fine so far. In the Summary you can create Game-Server for all Games which support Server on Bare Metal Linux-Server. I've used in all Cases the Ubuntu Image as Basic. Only one Thing: some Games require a separate Steam Account for Hosting. In this Case you've to buy the Game twice (Farming Simulator, for Example...) otherwise you can host and play with one Steam Account. Also I had tested a self-created Ark Image but it has stopped working after Ark receives an Update. I'm already searching for the problem but i have not found anything yet.

[@kribo9604]

How do you store your pysical folders on your server.
/opt/app_1
/opt/app_2
or do use the /var ??

[@JayPatel-wn7hs]

Portainer is Great...
Make a video for Maria DB Backup and restore.

[@christianlempa]

I made a video on Backup/Restore Linux Servers, might be interesting for you! th-cam.com/video/JoA6Bezgk1c/w-d-xo.html

[@JayPatel-wn7hs]

[@tecnopadre]

Hello. Thank you for this great video. Can you tell which OS is better for dockering? Ubuntu server or desktop? I'd say server as is lighter, but would like to know community opinion. Thank you

[@christianlempa]

I think that really depends on what you're look for, a server or a desktop :D

[@Hairybarryy]

Ubuntu server seems to be popular. Thats what im running right now. also I have been using Ubuntu on and off since 2004 so im bias

[@rahikoley9236]

Amazing

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much! :)

[@Enggmanagement]

I am just wondering if after doing a fresh Ubuntu install on VPS should I install a control panel before anything else. I want to run three wordpress websites, RDP server on Ubuntu with a desktop and Wireguard from one single VPS. Can you guide me to any tutorial I can follow?

[@christianlempa]

I'm not using anything like cpanel or plesk. But that's what you should look for.

[@SidharthKaushiksid]

Thanks for the tutorial, and explanation, but it is too fast, can run down a ittle slow.

[@albertograssi6048]

i'm on late, hope to get an answer anyway 🤞
I was reading about using multiple drives in order to setup my storage server, to do this i read a lot about installing docker using hyper-v instead of WSL because you can access to deeper configuration like the number of the cpu threads to use, the swap and ram to allocate, directory and stuff like that.
What do you say about it?

[@christianlempa]

Hm I’m not sure what you mean by installing docker via wsl on your storage server. Is your storage server a windows server?

[@albertograssi6048]

@@christianlempa Long story short: I’ve approached this deep rabbit hole of homelab very recently, everything started from the need to backup locally my personal pictures from iPhones in the “google photos” style. I already have multiple drives and I though to mount all in the Nextcloud’s docker container but it’s not simple as expected, then I found more of your videos (all great btw) but each one put more complexity to the project 🤦🏻‍♂️
I’ve lots of work to do

So, with thousand of container being found with malware in them, yes you do have to worry. I saw this coming a lot time ago, because no think about security until it too late. Container are coming dangerous, only want it going to get secure is to pull back do private cloud.

[@Nalanaij]

Waiting for the kubernetes video ;)

[@christianlempa]

Coming in 7 weeks :)

[@Nalanaij]

@@christianlempa enough time for me to check out the basics

[@bertnijhof5413]

Normally I run Virtualbox Virtual Machines, but if I want a Linux container I download the corresponding snap :)
So I use Ubuntu 16.04 ESM in an encrypted VM for my financial stuff. To get the latest versions of Firefox and LibreOffice, I installed their snaps. Both the encrypted VM and the snaps are very easy to use!
I see no advantages in using Docker.

[@greendsnow]

your green curtain is giving me anxiety.

[@ckykenken]

How can I get the terminal look like yours?

[@SebastianH88]

Maybe this video explains everything well, but damn how annoying it is to use a Synology, nothing is easy and straight forward, I need to google exactly everything and I'm the "Tech-Jesus" amongst everyone I know. I got here after 2 days of trying to change a disk in my NAS... I don't want to learn several new languages and also how to take a piss on a dime while spinning on my head, only to move some damn apps to a different volume so I can change the disk 🤬 This is not for me, I have no patience for annoyingly long tutorials for basic stuff, "just do this, just do that...", no, it's not "just"-anything for me...
What should I do instead? I'm willing to sell my DS920+, or pay to have someone else manage DSM for me. I just want to store my files on my network securely, basically photos, movies and music. I feel like the old dumb guy when it comes to all this, not willing to learn so so so many things for "easy network storage".
