I installed a few different distros, landed on Cinnamon Mint. I’m not a tech dummy, but I feel I’m in over my head.

I installed Docker in the terminal (two things I’m not familiar with) but I can’t find it anywhere. Googled some stuff, tried to run stuff, and… I dunno.

I’m TRYING to learn docker so I can set up audiobookshelf and Sonarr with Sabnzbd.

Once it’s installed in the terminal, how the hell do I find docker so I can start playing with it?

Is there a Linux for people who are deeply entrenched in how Windows works? I’m not above googling command lines that I can copy and paste but I’ve spent HOURS trying to figure this out and have gotten no where…

Thanks! Sorry if this is the wrong place for this

    Man, good luck. Is there no other way you can accomplish that without Docker. I’ve been using Linux for years and I still don’t know how to set up a docker container lol

      1. Docker is not needed, I’ve had lots of self hosted things for years before using docker.
      2. Docker is not that hard, you just need to learn it like anything else, once upon a time going to a webpage was an unknown thing to all of us, yet now it’s a daily thing.

        You’re right. The comments here have been really weird and kinda missed the whole point of OP’s post.
