# Docker
Docker, to install deployable services in seconds and manage them with just a few commands or clicks.
::alert{type="info"}
🎯 __Goals:__
- Install [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
- Install [Dockge](https://github.com/louislam/dockge) to manage stacks
- Install [Watchtower](https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower) to update containers

## Install Docker
---
Add the Docker repositories and GPG key:
```shell
# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
```
Install the packages:
```shell
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
```
That's it!
**More options:** [Install Docker for Debian 12](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/)

- From here on, we assume the stacks are installed in the `/docker` folder, created using the command:
:::
```shell
sudo mkdir /docker

## Install [Dockge](https://github.com/louislam/dockge) to manage and deploy containers
---
[Dockge](https://github.com/louislam/dockge) is a web tool to create, configure, launch, and manage Docker containers. It's a simple, intuitive interface thats lighter and easier for beginners than using the CLI or Portainer.

### Configuration
File structure we will create:
```console
root
└── docker
└── dockge
└── compose.yml
```
Create the stack folder:
```shell
cd /docker
sudo mkdir dockge
```
Then create the `compose.yml` file in this folder using `vim`:
```shell
cd /docker/dockge
sudo vi compose.yml
```
Press `i` to enter insert mode and paste the following:
```yaml
---
services:
dockge:
image: louislam/dockge:1
restart: unless-stopped
container_name: dockge
ports:
- 3555:5001 # LAN-accessible port will be 3555
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- /docker/dockge/data:/app/data
- /docker:/docker
environment:
- DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR=/docker
```
Press `Esc` and type `:x` to save and exit.
To launch the container:
```shell
cd /docker/dockge
sudo docker compose up -d
```
Then go to `http://yourserverip:3555` in your browser to access the login page.
More info on [Dockge and how to use it](https://github.com/louislam/dockge)
And there you go — Docker and a tool to easily manage your containers are ready!
## [Watchtower](https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower?tab=readme-ov-file), to auto-update containers
---
Watchtower is a container that checks for updates and pulls new images automatically, just by adding a label in your containers `compose.yml` files.
### Configuration
- Open Dockge in your browser
- Click `compose`
- Name the stack `watchtower`
- Paste the config below into the default config area in Dockge
```yaml
---
services:
watchtower:
container_name: watchtower
image: containrrr/watchtower:latest
restart: unless-stopped
env_file:
- .env
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Paris
- WATCHTOWER_SCHEDULE=${SCHEDULE}
- WATCHTOWER_LABEL_ENABLE=true
- WATCHTOWER_CLEANUP=true
- WATCHTOWER_REMOVE_VOLUMES=true
# Discord notifications - uncomment if used
#- WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS=slack
#- WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_SLACK_IDENTIFIER=Watchtower
#- WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_SLACK_HOOK_URL=${WH_URL}
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
```
Then fill in the `.env` section in Dockge with the following:
```properties
SCHEDULE=
WH_URL=
```
| Property | Value | Examples |
|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
| `SCHEDULE` | Cron format | `0 0 6 * * *` (every day at 6 AM) |
| `WH_URL` | Your Discord webhook URL - append `/slack` at the end | `https://yourdiscordserver/webhook/slack` |
To have Watchtower monitor your other containers, add this to their `compose.yml`:
```yaml
labels:
- com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true
```
Then restart the modified stacks. And that's it — you now have a solid base to start deploying the services you want!
