Docker is a platform that allows you to create lightweight, standalone containers that encapsulate applications along with their dependencies and configuration files. These containers provide a consistent and isolated environment for running applications across different computing environments.
In this video, we'll cover the basics of Docker, including the meaning of Docker scripts and commands (variables) and how to create your first project using Docker stacks. We'll showcase popular containers like Plex, Tailscale, Backblaze, CrashPlan, Home Automation, WordPress, Handbrake, MakeMKV, UniFi Controller, OpenHAB, and Grafana.
To get started, we'll show you how to install Docker using the Docker/Container Manager app on your Synology NAS. We'll also introduce you to Portainer, a handy tool for managing your Docker containers.
You'll learn different ways to set up containers, whether through the Container Manager, Portainer, or the SSH command line interface. We'll guide you through the process of pulling, configuring, and running containers manually or via SSH command line. We'll also cover general SSH Docker commands for more advanced users.
Additionally, we'll delve into Docker stacks and demonstrate how to set up a project using YAML files. You'll discover how to define services, networks, volumes, and dependencies in your project configuration.
By the end of this video, you'll have a solid understanding of Docker and containers, and you'll be equipped with the knowledge to start utilizing them effectively on your Synology NAS. Join us on this Docker journey and unlock the power of containerization for your applications.
