A Guide to Homelab: Your FIRST container - Docker & Portainer

Episode 4: A step-by-step guide showing you how to install Docker, deploy portainer, and install an Nginx container. I also introduce Docker Compose and outline how to use it, and why it's important that you learn to deploy containers by code.
