Ultimate Docker Server in just 52 min: Using Docker Compose

Build a robust and featureful home media server with Docker. This step-by-step guide is part of the Docker Server series by Anand.

In this video, we are going to get started with building a Docker Server for Homelab, from Scratch with support for 100s of self-hosted applications.

For this demo, I am using Ubuntu 22.04 Server Edition. But the procedure is essentially the same for Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian based distros.

#docker #dockercompose #dockertutorial #homelab #minilab #homeserver #ubuntu
