+# Notes
+## Installation
+Update current list of packages:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+```
+
+Install utilities (if needed):
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
+```
+
+Create directory for repository keys:
+```bash
+sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
+```
+
+Download Docker's GPG key:
+```bash
+sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
+```
+
+Update permissions of the keys:
+```bash
+sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
+```
+
+Define the Docker repository for our system:
+```bash
+echo \
+  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
+  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
+  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
+```
+
+Update list of packages again:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+```
+
+Install the following Docker components:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
+```
+
+Components:
+* `docker-ce`: Docker Community Edition aka the Docker Engine (dockerd).
+* `docker-ce-cli`: The CLI for Docker CE.
+* `containerd.io`: The low-level container runtime.
+* `docker-buildx-plugin`: Modern image builder tool.
+* `docker-compose-plugin`: To read docker-compose.yml and run multi-container apps.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Networks
+
+### Container Management
+#### CLI
+While using the CLI through SSH is technically the lightest & simplest option for managing containers/compose files.
+It is certainly not the most intuitive and can feel clunky when managing containers.
+
+#### Portainer / Arcane
+On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, there's applications like Portainer or Arcane that include a whole host of features such as logs and metrics for containers to manage.
+The reason I don't like them however is that they abstract away the compose files by using internal databases and have slightly higher resource usage. 
+While they can be an option later down the line and, while those logging & metrics features are nice, they can be replaced by other containers such as Dozzle for logs and Glances/Netdata for metrics or even Prometheus and Grafana.
+
+#### Dockge
+This brings us to Dockge which seems to be the good compromise with a clean GUI without abstracting anything away.
+Dockge still lets us edit compose files directly and have those changes directly reflected in the GUI and vice-versa.
+This 1:1 mirror allows us to easily ditch Dockge for something else if the need for it arises.
+Considering I'm still a beginner I think this transparency with compose files is ideal to learn how to configure them with the added bonus of a GUI and more enjoyable experience.
