Wondering if there is a way to setup docker compose on LE ?

THX,

I don't see why not - depends on what type of HW you are running and what you intend to do with it.

THX -

I was thinking of using the LE box as a docker "playground", teaching myself about the features..I was able to get the docker-compose installed on a plain vanilla ubuntu VM. Knowing that LE is a hybrid of sorts, are there specific instructions about how to install on LE ?

If you can't install it on your platform, I believe there is a docker compose docker you can use

This *might* work

1) Create NEW folder to contain the executable
mkdir /storage/bin
2) Add this to $PATH

nano /storage/.profile

PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

3) Install docker from the LE addons (May not be needed)

4) Download Docker compose (All one line)

curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.23.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /storage/bin/docker-compose

5) Make it executable

chmod +x /storage/bin/docker-compose

6) Check to see it works

cd /storage/bin

./docker-compose --version

7) If it all works reboot.

If all else fails as @aptalca mentioned pull a docker container like this

This doesn't appear to still work, is that URL dead?

Code

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v1.25.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /storage/bin/docker-compose

Finally I got it working.

Just follow Iridium's post in #5. But for step 4, you need to find the latest release on https://github.com/linuxserver/do…ompose/releases

For my RPi 3B+, I use https://github.com/linuxserver/do…r-compose-armhf. Then place this link back to the code in step 4 as

curl -L "https://github.com/linuxserver/do…r-compose-armhf" -o /storage/bin/docker-compose

and it works like a charm.

I specifically registered just now, to say that I followed Iridium's advice from Nov 18 '18, combined with Libre888's updated info to utilize the latest release directly from https://github.com/linuxserver/do…ompose/releases, and it works perfectly. I now have a 5 year set up exactly as I wanted. Thanks!

as Linux-server's docker-compose is deprecated it is a bit different now

Create NEW folder within LibreELEC him folder contain the executable
mkdir /storage/bin (my choice: mkdir /storage/system/bin)
Add this to $PATH
nano /storage/.profile
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH (my choice: PATH=$HOME/system/bin:$PATH )
Download Docker compose (All one line)
1. Pi 4: curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose…e-linux-aarch64 -o /storage/bin/docker-compose
  (my choice: curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose…e-linux-aarch64 -o /storage/system/bin/docker-compose)
2. Pi 3: same as above?
Make it executable
chmod +x /storage/bin/docker-compose
Check to see if it works
cd /storage/bin (my choice: cd //storage/system/bin)
LibreELEC:~/system/bin # ./docker-compose --version
Docker Compose version v2.16.
If it all works reboot and check again (if the path is set correctly)
LibreELEC:~ # docker-compose --version
Docker Compose version v2.16.

where I found help as well:

Found this thread by chance and got genuinely curious,

Which use cases do you see for Docker here?

I mean LE is aimed at running kodi. It's its sole purpose.

The only thing I can think of is a torrent client, but then you have kodi competing for CPU and maybe not getting enough.

I run a home automation system in parallel.

This shall allow me to control the different player (stereo system, TV etc.)
