Hello,

I'm pretty new to using Docker and Nginx and I have been running into
an issue running Nginx from a docker compose file. When running the up
command it looks like the container is started but if I check the
container logs the only records I see for 'npm' output the following
message: "exec /init operation not permitted". I always spin the
containers up using sudo but the issue persists. I am using Ubuntu
22.04 and docker was installed using Snap. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Do not install Docker with snap. Uninstall it completely and then
install it following the official documentation by adding the Docker
repo and installing it from there.

This here is neither /r/Docker or /r/NginxProxyManager

Thanks for the advice. Figured it was applicable since I am using them
for a self hosted solution.

I am on archlinux for my docker host, and its insane how cluster fuck
ubuntu feels when dealing with docker... like why is it not in
offiical repo and why is snap fucked as it is? Why do I have to read
[this all bullshit](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/) to
make informed decision?

Anyway, I am sticking with archlinux and lts kernel, for noobs its
endevourOS...  and also I am prefer [caddy for reverse
proxy](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-
docker/tree/master/caddy_v2) over npm

Thanks, not completely sold on Ubuntu. Might have to check out some
other options.

Well, full disclosure, I use archlinux because its my main desktop OS
and feel most comfortable with it. Most serious linux admin frown on
arch as linux server OS.. as its not business tier oriented distro
with its bleeding edge quick adoption of stuff. On the other hand its
extremely popular, archlinux subreddit is the largest distro subreddit
of them all...  and if you have proper backups/snapshots you dont need
to fear updates.

But as I said, its not really for noobs unless they are ready to learn
and go neck deep...  but then its probably the best for learning linux
as its kinda lego linux, you put together what you want.
