Install Docker

Required for the Dashboard's landing page. Not needed on a stock FIBER install.

  1. Install Docker and Docker Compose:

    sudo apt install -y docker.io docker-compose
    tip

    Debian's package is named docker-compose (not docker-compose-plugin, which is Docker's own repository naming and is not available from the default Raspberry Pi OS repositories). Both the docker compose and docker-compose command forms work after installing it.

  2. Add your user to the docker group so you don't need sudo for Docker commands:

    sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
    tip

    Group membership only takes effect on your next login. Log out and back in (or run newgrp docker in the current shell), then verify with docker ps before continuing — if it still asks for sudo, the group change hasn't taken effect yet.
