Yes, yes…absolute noob here. I can pull and run stuff from the hub, but I’ve downloaded a build from github that could use some help with, as the instructions assume more knowledge than I possess.
I poked around W11 Docker Desktop, and think I maybe figured out that I needed to import the zip file on the Builds tab. When I do that, I get the following error:
Failed to import build record: {"error":"archive/tar: invalid tar header","message":"Internal Server Error"}
I’m certain I just don’t know what I’m doing. Again, though, the instructions on the github page are assumptive of more knowledge than I have.
Any kind soul(s) willing to push me in the right direction? I tried searching for tutorials on building containers, but, eh…
Where did you see you would need to import anything on the build tab? The README shows how you can start the project. I don’t see anything that needs to be imported. Did I miss something?
Maybe you could describe what exactly you did, because it is not entirely clear to me. Did you just downloaded a zip file on the releases page on GitHub to import it in Docker Desktop? The release is just the same sourcode you see on GitHub.
If you need a little help about what a container is:
Recommended links to learn the basics and concepts:
Yes, you are correct; there is nothing in the instructions that says to import the build. But, after creating the docker-compose.yaml, there is nothing about how to get this build into Docker so I can start the container. (Again, total noob here).
I appreciate the links. I will spend time actually learning what I’m doing, beyond just pulling/running from the hub.
The readme shows exactly what commands you need to execute. in a terminal. Maybe the only thing I don’t see mentioning is how exactly you open the ap in your web browser. Since the example uses port 5000, you just need to load localhost:5000 in a web browser.
