Hi! I'm still learning a lot. I have a raspberry pie (on raspian) with pi-hole, pivpn and outbound as a dns resolver. The next step will be for me to set up nextcloud. But I'm reading a lot on docker and containers these days and want to deploy docker now. Should I start again from the begining setting up docker and after pi-hole, pivpn and everything or could I keep everything the way it is now and then installing docker? The latter would be the best for me, but I don't know what to look for when installing docker after pivpn, pie hole etc. Thanks you a lot for the help

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your response and help!! You gave me the confidence to just try it and learn by doing it

If you are willing to learn, and do this manually you can surely go the route of installing docker and learning about the how to spin up docker instance using either Docker CLI command format or docker compose formatting.

But if you just like to get started and want to get your feet wet before learning to swim, you can spin up the CasaOS it takes care of Docker installation and helps you spin up docker containers/instances like you install an app from App/play store.

Here advance is, once you learn about docker instances and how to format docker CLI commands or docker compose. CasaOs has advanced features that can support it, so it wouldn't just work as App Store when you like you can use more advanced features and use CLI and Compose along side CasaOS and it would still detect those changes and keep the Dashboard updated according, plus it has built in tools to help you edit instance like compose does and has CLI terminal built in as well once you level up.
