Had everything running perfectly on Windows on SmartDVB, this has fought me every step of the way
Just want to get my satellite dish setup, nothing is straight forward maybe I am out of my depth
Install docker, install portainer/portainer-ce - docker run portainer/portainer-ce
I understand gnu/linux is a learning curve but I literally take one step forward and two steps back
Last night I got drunk and turned off the PC - soul destroying
To be honest - I read a little of your last thread you made, although I donāt remember it exactly.
But if youāre trying to do something kind of on the niche side of things - for instance setting up a satellite dish to your computer. Youāre always going to have trouble. These companies a lot of the time donāt even support Mac, nevermind Linux. And a lot of stuff, even if it does, ends up as a .deb or if youāre lucky - a snap.
I donāt really understand what youāre trying to do exactly. Why do you even need your satellite dish connected to your computer? Is it just for internet? It doesnāt just hook up to your television?
If a computer is completely mission critical - Iād get a ridiculously cheap Windows computer just to run that. Even just like a stickPC or something and then just keep using my computer as normal.
Thereās definitely a learning curve to using Linux. Sometimes you just need to find alternative programs, or even things all together if you want to do something. If you just want things to be āeasyā - Google, and Microsoft have you covered.
What are you actually trying to accomplish with this setup? Sometimes what we perceive as what needs to get done, isnāt really necessary at all.
While I almost never ever recommend snaps - for your case scenario - you may be suited better for it? I donāt know ā¦
What Iām witnessing here today is truly a dark day I never thought Iād see coming 
As another forum member already wrote to me these daysā¦
not NEEDED - isnāt the same as not WANTED 
All of these docker applications are rubbish.
Iāve never heard of SmartDVB (but it sounds šššššššššš ššššššššššš)ā¦ I also have no idea why in the current year anyone would want to have a satelite dish. Watching TV is so 1995.
Not everyone has a fascinating pond with all that life to watch - so they have substitute TV shows instead. Also pond coverage of the hockey season is pretty limited! (Something about it being frozen over). Still, I would like to know what the basic setup idea behind this isā¦
Oh, you misunderstood me. I watch a TV show or two from time to time, why not? I just donāt watch them on TV.
Surely, one has alternative means to watch hockey at oneās disposalā¦ I shall say nothing more about this, but Iām sure you understand what Iām hinting at.
As mentioned previously in this thread, it is no reasonably costed excercise to locate a 50+ inch monitor with a high refresh rateā¦ needed for good hockey watching! So - TV it isā¦
Surely, a TV has some sort of an input that makes it function as a monitor? Surely, it can do things other than just show you ads and lies in the news, like displaying an image from a PC?
Surely it can (and often does - built-in Chromecast for one) - but you canāt find a combination of monitor and specs/size that has a price down where I can justify itā¦
I have no idea what that is. The name does sound familiar, but Iāve never used anything like that. It also sounds a bit ššššššššššš, to be honestā¦
I use MPV on GNU+Linux. It can play hockey, too. Not that Iām particularly interested in hockey, but why not?
I am sure is it proprietary, but thereās not much scary packed into something so cheap as a streaming stick! I would miss my equivalent of a live-stream 4k res, hi-refresh rate games though. Some people have soccer fixations, or cricket (which i would watch if I had it!) or baseball (though that one doesnāt need the hi specs).
Isnāt variety wonderful! 
OP is long goneā¦
You quite lost me there. I have all the variety I could imagine without some pay-to-view āstreaming stickāā¦
The last time I saw an ad of any sort1 was last year, and that was at the local fast food place while I was buying a sandwich. They left their TV on, never went there again2.
I do watch sports regularly. Especially chess, but also snooker. 
1 Well, I may have seen a text ad on a web page, or a sponsored message (buy this VPN) on a YouTube videoā¦ But I donāt count these.
2 Not necessarily because of the TV, the sandwich was quite badā¦
I donāt know why youāre installing this if you want tvheadend.
And, if you want tvheadend then I donāt know why you wouldnāt just follow the Arch wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tvheadend
Then, if you donāt understand something, or something doesnāt work as expected, you can ask people for help with that.
This reminds me of the many threads all over the Web essentially saying āLinux sucks because my wifi doesnāt work and noone ever helps me - prove me wrongā and then a load of people jump in to provide step-by-step help.
Youāre right that Linux has a learning curve and it doesnāt work like Windows. Some would way thatās a feature.
An Arch derivative isnāt really a starter distro - Ubuntu or Mint would be a better bet. There are fewer moving parts, the parts that move do so less regularly, and many companies directly support Ubuntu derivatives so there is less need for tweaking.
However, one of the great things about Arch is that you have to deal with everything, so you have to understand what your system is doing. That means you always know what is happening and why, so there are no should be no surprises.
ā¦and then thereās actual reality 
Whatās a āpay-to-viewā? Havenāt done that yet! As for your sports - they arenāt too demanding of video performance!
As for snooker - never managed a 147 - Iāve had a few clearances, but my best was a 143 (sob). Lucky to break 60 these days though - maybe something to do with eyesight? Gee - come to think of it, maybe eyesight is why I need my ābig screenā?
Are we OT? I always wonder when I canāt remember what the thread was originally 
Oh yeahā¦
To be honest a lot of people blame the OS and thatās not the problem. The problem is a lot of people lack the necessary knowledge, training & skills to be doing some of these things that involve needing to understand not only Linux but advanced Networking protocols, Security related protocols such as SSH and the list goes on. Sure there are a many Linux users who have enough experience & knowledge & understanding to be able to do some of these things but not everyone has those abilities. Not everyone can just follow you tube videoās or instructions and get there because they lack knowledge, understanding and the necessary skills needed. Just the same as a lot of people do not understand what is written to begin with including the Arch wiki as an example. They think itās so easy because it just works on Windows when i click on icons and it installs and sets up and sometimes just works or takes little configuration. Understanding something isnāt as easy as just reading it. More to it than that.
I just want the OP to know that in no way am i trying to put them down. This is just the reality of some of these things. They take more knowledge, skills, experience and understanding that not everyone has.
If you go straight from Windows or with less experience in Linux to an arch based distro (and be sure I know what Iām talking about) itās a rocky road no doubt, but itās more than worth it.
I understand that you want to get it running now. No one is stopping you from trying again, from making a fresh start.
Donāt give up, just wipe your mouth and keep going.
