Thanks, I will look into it. I've never successfully gotten my head around docker though. I currently use Swizzin community edition.
I thought I didn’t understand docker until I realized I was trying to use crappy broken containers. I can vouch for the official gluetun and qbittorrent ones functioning normally.
Both can be created easily with docker run if you don’t feel comfortable working with docker compose yet. Both of their pages have run and compose options in the description.
I don’t think you’ll regret the time taken to learn it if you go this route. Docker permanently changed how I managed my services for the better.
That's cool. I definitely plan to try again sometime, as it sounds like it has some real advantages. In the past I tried using some projects like DockStarter.
Honestly, I’d sincerely recommend learning run or compose from the cli to get your containers started. Understanding the available variables and how to use them will teach you everything you will need to know if you choose a tool like DockStarter or Portainer later. They are convenient, but the way they hide the underlying run and compose options can sometimes end up limiting your understanding in the long run.
