Comment on Sanity check: am I crazy for wanting to wipe everything and do/learn from scratch?

  Nice to know that someone did the same move, and happy that it went well :) did you have anything specific to remove from the CasaOS compose files? (I know they fill it with a lot of stuff useful for their categorization)

    Not really. I also didn’t have much data in them, so I opted to start from scratch. I’d recomend searching for “service docker” to find how to run that thing in dockers compose. Then I make a folder for each thing. In my home directory, I make a new folder. Say fileBrowser. Then inside that I make docker-compose.yml and put the compose from the internet (if you find a docker run, you can convert it to compose via sites like composerizer). Then for config volumes I like to specify ./ so it goes to the current folder. I.e. ./filebrowserconfig/settings.json:/settings.json so that inside the fileBrowser folder we’re already in, it has a folder called filebrowserconfig and a file called settings.json. (note that docker tries to make folders, not files. So if the json file doesn’t already exist, it’ll make a folder named settings.json lol)
