      @KristjanESPERANTO Well, I wanted to see how it works? 😉 Wanted to build one that was preloaded with my own modules for my own use but then rethought the design a bit and see if I could build a generic one based on trixie. So yeah, just pure curiosity and to see if I could…🤣

        That’s a pretty good reason 👍

          It all sounds so interesting, I wish I understood how to implement your container, It sounds like it would be simpler to work with…

          Slow learner. But trying anyways.

            @plainbroke There are instructions on the Docker website. Follow the link in my post above.

              @plainbroke container is a mini OS/Application bundle. (same as an SD card with all the stuff installed)

              you run it in the docker runtime.
              there are commands to run one docker image to container (docker run)
              and commands to run a list of them as a big application set (docker compose)

              for MM, there is good news and bad news…

              good, easy to get up and running the post install level,
              docker run or docker compose(Karstens image) … up it comes…

              bad, adding modules gets harder… you need to use docker commands to get INSIDE the container to do git clone, npm install… etc

              best to add some tool to do module install, MMPM, my MMM-Config, MMM-RemoteControl. then you get a web page to work from instead of having to get inside the container.

                @sdetweil You provide your own list of modules and config alongside your compose and it all gets imported into the container. No need to go fiddle in the container itself.

                      Thank you all for the information. I think I will stick with the way I already understand. setting up the docker and all seems like more work that is not in my wheelhouse. Interesting approach to the same end result.
