how to setup docker in virtualmin? we are stuck in the process
It would have really helped if you’ve provided OS infromation.
but anyway, follow installation instructions from the official docker website (assuming you’re using CentOS compatible distro) Install Docker Engine on CentOS | Docker Docs
or you can use their AIO installation script to install docker
curl -L get.docker.com | sh
There plenty of discussion of docker on the forum if you just use the search.
There is an open source option that should be adjusted in the future for Virtualmin. I saw in some interaction that Joe would be thinking about this container.
Podman
Kubernetes Ready
You don’t. Docker doesn’t go “in Virtualmin”, you install it on your OS using the package manager as you would if Virtualmin weren’t there. And, then you proxy to your apps, as you would in any deployment. Virtualmin has a Proxy Paths UI, if you want to manage those proxy rules in Virtualmin (this is recently added to GPL, as well).
We are releasing a new module to support container and app server management (including Podman or Docker for containers) in Virtualmin Pro pretty soon…maybe a month away? But, Docker or Podman would still be installed in the usual way, using your OS package manager. I guess maybe you could think of it as being “in Virtualmin” at that point, but still just a management GUI, the underlying Docker/Podman would be identical to what you’d have if you’d done it on the CLI and you’ll be able to manage them from the CLI.
All the usual documentation for almost anything works in the usual way. Virtualmin isn’t some weird new operating system, it’s just a GUI that manages web hosting infrastructure; our installer sets up a nice set of tools for doing that. But, if you come into it thinking everything has to be specific to Virtualmin, you’re making your life way more complicated than it needs to be.
