docker is painfully easy to learn…hell you really don’t need to even “learn” anything. think of a docker compose.yml as very basic instructions on what you want the thing to install and what you want it to do. save it. and then run docker compose up -d on your server and you’re done. that’s it.
for example the docker-compose.yml for Romm is like 10 lines and you just tell it what version to download and run, what API to use to get the meta info for your games, user name and pw for romm and that’s it really. Most cases whatever you want to use in a docker will have a yml file for you anyways to copy and paste. you can have it up and running in less than 10 minutes.
The beauty of Romm also is if you have A LOT of roms you can upload them all in one go, then let it scrap the meta data and walk away, turn off your browser, check it in the morning or whatever. It’s a pretty good setup. all the emulators and what have you run off your server and are installed automatically via Romm depending on what roms you upload to it.
