Hey all after a few months of giving up on trying to get my server to run I tried again and made it even worse. On a tutorial I was watching it suggested changing the port number. It appears this was a mistake as I can no longer access my sever even after uninstalling the program and reinstalling it. I’ve been fighting it for about a hour if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this mess please let me know

I’m running my server on a laptop running Linux Mint cinnamon

I'm by no means an expert in Linux, but my best advice for someone finding docker complicated is to run Portainer.
It's made my Docker-life so much easier, especially if you run stacks with compose files. It's all graphical via the browser interface.

Need to make a change to to one of your containers?
Change the compose file (which stays exactly like you pasted it originally) in Portainer and re-deploy.
Need to update the container?
Click update and it re-deploys with the newest image.
Want to stop a container?
Just click stop.

The first thing I've done on all my small servers is to get the Docker Daemon running with CLI in the terminal, install Portainer and do everything else there.

So if you're dumb, then I'm dumb too, and it's not very nice to call people you don't know dumb, now is it...!?

Honestly, feel free to ask if you find the motivation to give it another crack and need some help. It's made me go from hating Docker to absolutely loving it.

Thanks for the suggestion, I may go for this, that sounds much more simple than manually setting each one up, while still being just manual enough to remain customizable. And thanks for the offer of help.

I did buy a hexos license over black Friday. Mostly just to help a thing I think should exist, but I was also gonna give it a try when it got out of beta.

No worries, mate. The offer stands if you want it.

Have a great new year!
