How to deploy IT Tools (Docker Container)
Here is a quick overview with the basic steps how to deploy IT Tools on a Ubuntu server running Docker.
IT Tools is a handy collection of tools which you can host yourself as a docker container.
This Docker container will be deployed using docker compose.
The creation of a volume is not needed since there is no data to keep persistant.
Before you start make sure you have access to a device with a Docker engine running and an account with sufficient privileges.
