It's not their job to teach you how to use docker.

What's confusing here? Break down the steps and parts of the command

[–] doodledup@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wtf do they mean by shared secret for example?

In this example it is a config value that the software expects to be present, I'm guessing based on the screenshot it is to be added to the homeserver.yaml

Yeah, I can't fuck with Docker either. Check out Yunohost if you want something that is actually easy to get up and running.

Docker

There's your first mistake.

Oh, hi, I'm just stopping by from the 'compile from source and create a systemd unit file' tribe.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

I used to try and compile from source first. Was good experience. Don't see why I should bother now, though 🤣

So you added the secret to the file and restarted the docker container, right?

Something that I think will help you with self-hosting in the future is to always read through the entire process for setting up whatever you want to set up first, beginning to end, so that you are familiar with what you need to do before attempting it the first time. It's helped me numerous times myself.
