Day 2!
I am still on my way to learn docker before actually starting to code the app. I’ve got a brief picture on how app’s settings should look like though: a JSON file that will have sections where you can add multiple mails, names for categories and keywords that will determine whether email will be dropped in that specific category.I have already started watching tutorials on how to use docker so for now I’ll return to learning it. All that I want from docker is to learn how it works in basics and learn how I can operate it so that I can deploy my app on another laptop.

Oh, and I just found out that Stardance devlogs are also in markdown. Will be useful for styling.

I have followed steps in the tutorial, from what I’ve stopped yesterday and realized what mistakes I’ve done. (This is the tutorial by the way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0HMimUb4f0&t)So far, so good, I’ve had all the steps from https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/#install-using-the-repository completed and even installed Docker Desktop. But now I ran into an issue: apparently I have no KVM on my linux! And therefore I can’t use docker desktop, or maybe even docker itself at all. So now I need to fix it before going any further.

Appears that I had SMV disabled in my UEFI settings which didn’t allow virtual machines to run and docker did need one to run. Took me a bit to find that setting but now Docker Desktop launches properly. I can continue my studying!

There was an issue that I couldn’t log in to my docker account inside of desktop version. There were no errors at first so I rebooted, hoping it would change something, and, in fact, I’ve got an error message saying that I was missing something. Being redirected to https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/sign-in/#credentials-management-for-linux-users I found out that I needed some gpg key. Currently I got no knowledge about what it is so it’ll be another research material for me. As of now I’ve made my gpg key and logged in successfully.

For now I’ll probably be the conclusion for today unless I decide to learn actual commands of docker and it’s management today. In conclusion today I learned how to install and setup docker!
