Prerequisites

Before we get started, you will need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

A Clear Linux Latest installation
Git installed on your system
Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
Basic knowledge of navigating the command line

Step 1 - Clone the Dashdot Repository

First, you will need to clone the Dashdot repository from GitHub:

$ git clone https://github.com/MauriceNino/dashdot.git

This command will create a local copy of the Dashdot repository on your system.

Step 2 - Navigate to the Dashdot Directory

Next, you will need to navigate to the directory where you cloned the Dashdot repository:

$ cd dashdot

Step 3 - Build the Dashdot Docker Image

To build the Dashdot Docker image, run the following command:

This command will build the Dashdot Docker image and tag it as "dashdot".

Step 4 - Build the Dashdot Docker Compose File

Next, you will need to create a Docker Compose file for Dashdot. Create a new file called "docker-compose.yml" in the dashdot directory using your favorite text editor:

$ nano docker-compose.yml

Add the following content to the file:

version: '3'

services:
  dashdot:
    image: dashdot
    container_name: dashdot
    ports:
      - 8080:5000
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data

This file will create a Docker container for Dashdot and map port 8080 on your system to port 5000 in the container. It will also create a volume to persist data.
