Install Docker Compose on Volumio

Volumio Development

Hi,

I managed to install Docker and build and run containers but I would also like to install Docker Compose on my Volumio image. There are no issues when installing libffi-dev, libssl-dev, python3-dev, python3 and python3-pip packages. But installing docker-compose with pip3 throws an error:

sudo pip3 install docker-compose

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Has anyone managed to install Docker Compose on Volumio somehow? Would it be a better approach to start from Raspbian and run Volumio in a Docker container? I have found a popular image jbonjean/volumio but it is for x86, not ARMv7.

Greetings!
I still have a problem with installing Dicker on

Hi, here is my procedure to successfully install docker, docker compose and portainer on Volumio 3

#####Install docker 
curl -fsSL get.docker.com | CHANNEL=stable sh
sudo apt install docker-ce
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

##### configure docker user & group 
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

##### Configure Docker to start on boot
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
sudo systemctl enable containerd.service

##### Install portainer
docker volume create portainer_data

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer \
--restart=always \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v portainer_data:/data \
portainer/portainer-ce:2.9.3

Within portainer accessible at http://volumioip:9443, you can use “stacks” to manipulate docker-compose 3 scripts the very easy way

Hello.
Forgive my boldness, but I would like to ask you if you can explain to a newbie (me) the complete procedure to install Volumio and Pihole together on an RPI 4, with Docker or with the procedure that you think is best.
My Linux knowledge is limited, and I’ve been trying to get it to work for quite some time, but I can’t.
I know that what I’m asking of you involves a lot of work, but I don’t know how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind that running Volumio in a docker is not supported.

7

OK, and docker in Volumio, and Pihole inside docker?

8

Still not supported by Volumio

Bad news :neutral_face:

Anyway Volumio + RPI4+Allo Bos DAC, it is a great way to listen to almost perfect music.
Thanks a lot
