How to create an Ubuntu or Debian based server app?

Running the latest ZimaOS 1.5.0. My goal is to create a “blank” Ubuntu or Debian server so I can setup iDrive on it. I click on the “+” symbol then “install a customized app”. I’ve typed “ubuntu:latest” into the Docker Image, then filled in the ‘title’ and ‘container name’.
After it installs it won’t start. How can I get this working?

It doesn’t work like that, you need a Docker container image. If you want to run a standalone virtualized OS like Debian/Linux then you should use the ZVM feature to create a dedicated virtual machine.

The “install a customized app” is used for a container that isn’t in the Appstore that you can install on your own using either a customized compose file or a run command CLI.

Thanks, I was just hoping not to use a full VM system. Just wanted 1 app and access to the drive.

Then use a proper docker compose file for the distro you want:

  1. https://hub.docker.com/_/debian
  2. https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu
