Docker installation with Portainer was created by Jacobs
Webtrees seem to be the solution I need but installation is too complicate for a noob like me.

I have a Truenas server at home, I have installed it myself and also Nextcloud and HomeAssistant. I am noob but not totally.

I have read a lot about webtrees install and there is not much. Very few videos on Youtube and basic docs.

Portainer is a GUI made to help and automate Docker image installations. I thought it would be the way to go. I have found two webtrees images: dtjs48jkt/wbtrees and nathanvaughn/webtrees both on Hub Docker.

I have tried to install them after installing MariaDB in another container but I could not make it work.

I am about to give up but before I send a last "bottle in the sea". On the paper Docker is great and should be perfect for Webtrees, hopefully somebody can help me.

Anyway, thank you for all your effort to bring this great software.

From my own experiments with apps needing a database under Docker, I never succeeded getting it working without docker-compose. This eases the communication, since both the app and the database share the same internal (protected) network.

The NathanVaugn version gets mentionned a lot by people running webtrees in a Docker container. Last time I looked it has a docker-compose example.

From www.virtualizationhowto.com/2023/03/true...apps-and-truecharts/ it appears you need to execute `sudo apt-get install docker-compose` in your TrueNAS.

Just some pointers, sorry I can't help any further. Good luck!

stamboom.BertKoor.nl runs on webtrees v2.2.1
