Installing & Configuring Orbital Sync in Docker running in an Ubuntu container (Proxmox)

[alexruffell]

I would like to set up Orbital Sync in an Ubuntu container in Proxmox using the Docker method assuming it is easier to maintain.

I created the container, installed docker.io, and pulled the orbital-sync image. I can't figure out where to put the configuration or even how to run orbital-sync. I tried installing Portainer but it did not make anything easier... I am new at this.

Is there some resource on the web I can follow to install and configure Orbital Sync? I searched and found nothing. Not even generic instructions on what to do with the configuration file.

Please help :)

Once I realized the configuration file was called compose file I found this video:

For others in my same boat:

• I installed docker-compose using apt install docker-compose
• I created a folder where I was going to store the compose file using mkdir DockerComposeFile
• I created a compose file using nano docker-compose.yml
• I pasted the example configuration and edited to suit my needs
• I then told the system about the file using docker-compose config
• Last I started it with docker-compose run or docker-compose run -d if you want to run it in detached mode to leave your terminal available for other operations

Now I have to figure out how to make it survive a reboot of the container.
