OpenMediaVault 7: Step-by-Step Docker Deployment with Docker Compose Plugin - Episode 2

Hey there! Welcome to another installment in our OpenMediaVault 7 video series! In this episode, we're diving into the nitty-gritty of Docker deployment using the Docker Compose plugin. If you caught our previous video, we set up OpenMediaVault, configured the dashboard, and even updated the system. Thanks for the amazing response to that, by the way—it's what keeps this series going strong!

Today, our focus is on getting everything ready for Docker. First up, we ensure our drives are recognized in the dashboard and set up a file system, opting for EXT4. Then, we head over to OMV Extras, which is pivotal for installing Docker and Docker Compose seamlessly into OpenMediaVault 7. After a quick SSH session into our server and a couple of clicks, we have OMV Extras set up and the Docker plugins installed.

Security-wise, we also create a dedicated Docker user in OpenMediaVault, a good practice to keep administrative tasks separate. Once Docker is up and running, we verify its installation via terminal commands and ensure all permissions are set correctly for future container deployments.

To cap it off, we celebrate our progress by deploying a Docker container using OMV's integrated Compose setup. It's a satisfying end to a productive session!
