What If You Don't Have Docker Installation & Setup?

Before Docker Installation & Setup, this is what server management looked like. Spoiler: it wasn't fun.

1

SSH into server

Connect to check server status.

terminal
ssh root@your-server-ip
2

Check system info

Gather server details.

terminal
# OS info
cat /etc/os-release
uname -a

# CPU info
lscpu | head -20

# Memory
free -h

# Disk
df -h

# Now remember all these commands for every server
3

Update packages

Keep system up to date.

terminal
apt update
apt upgrade -y
# Wait 10 minutes
# Hope nothing breaks
# Reboot if kernel updated
reboot

Updates can break things. No rollback button.
