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.

[Dmkjr]

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

[trinib]

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

[xtwrdoz]

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

[sladgehmmer]

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

[yashmishra]

we can also run Linux container in windows os.

[maksymdudyk]

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

[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

Thank God that I found your channel. Just sub.

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?

[mal-avcisi]

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 ?

[kribo]

How do you store your pysical folders on your server.
/opt/app_1
/opt/app_2

or do use the /var ??

[SidharthKaushiksid]

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

[danielvega]

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

[cleightthejw]

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?

[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

[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?
