#### Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have:
- Docker installed on your Rocky Linux 8 server
- Basic familiarity with Docker commands and containers
- Access to the command line interface on your server
#### Step 1: Install Docker on Rocky Linux 8
If Docker is not already installed, follow these steps to install it:
```bash
sudo dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
```
#### Step 2: Deploy Planka Using Docker
Create a Docker Compose file for Planka. Create a new directory for your Planka setup:
```bash
mkdir planka && cd planka
```
Create a `docker-compose.yml` file with the following content:
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
planka:
image: plankapp/planka:latest
ports:
- "80:3000"
environment:
- DATABASE_URL=sqlite3:///data/planka.sqlite3
volumes:
- ./data:/data
restart: always
```
Save the file and deploy Planka with Docker Compose:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
#### Step 3: Access Planka Web Interface
Once deployed, access the Planka web interface using your server's IP address or domain name in a web browser:
```
http://your-server-ip-or-domain
```
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up an admin account and configure Planka.
#### Step 4: Optional: Configure Persistent Database
For production setups, consider configuring a persistent database like PostgreSQL or MySQL instead of SQLite.
#### Step 5: Optional: Configure HTTPS (Recommended)
Secure your Planka installation by configuring HTTPS using Let's Encrypt SSL certificates or your own SSL certificates.
#### Conclusion
You have successfully deployed Planka using Docker on Rocky Linux 8. Start using Planka to manage your projects efficiently with its intuitive interface and collaborative features.
