My friend just shared the existence of this software with me, and it looks perfect for me. His setup uses docker though, and mine doesn't. The non-docker instructions seem simple enough, but I can't figure out how to install the requirements. The "pip install" complains and says I should use apt, but I can't find most of those requirements in my sources. For example "python3-verboselogs" isn't found. Can someone help? I'd love to get this running!

Take it from someone who is a Linux noob and Googles for terminal commands every time, and whose most used keys are ctrl c, ctrl v...

Go to official docker documentation, copy paste the commands to install docker.
go to Portainer documentation, copy paste the commands to install Portainer Community Edition
Find a service you want to install, copy the 'docker compose' text. (A good first service to install is Watchtower which takes care of updating other containers)
go to Portainer's browser UI, find the 'stacks' tab, paste, click 'deploy'

Don't do this on your main server. Use some old hardware or a cheap VPS to practise on.

The main skill I need is googling and asking AI. It's that easy.

I've been using Linux daily since 2007 (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn). I've learned a lot, and there's some things I've never learned. Docker is one of those things that has been a problem. I also don't do a bit of programming.
