🐳 Stupid Docker

Stupid Docker is a beginner-friendly Bash script that simplifies common Docker commands into an easy-to-use menu interface.

It is designed for:

• Beginners learning Docker
• Users who don’t want to memorize Docker commands
• Quick Docker setup on Linux systems

Why use Stupid Docker when Docker Desktop already exists? Well, for starters, Docker Desktop is extremely bloated and uses more than the required resources to run. Which ultimately drives people to use CLI instead. CLI by default, is a teeny bit complicated for beginners and repetitive even for people who already know what they are doing. That is where Stupid Docker comes in. Stupid Docker can run easily on your 2007 Microwave Potato Computer.

Installation & Usage

1️⃣ Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/edechime-bryan/stupid-docker

2️⃣ Move into the project directory

cd stupid-docker

3️⃣ Make the script executable

chmod +x stupid-docker

4️⃣ Run the script (IMPORTANT)

./stupid-docker

⚠️ Do NOT run it like this:

stupid-docker

Linux requires ./ to run scripts in the current directory.

---

Why ./ Is Required

For security reasons, Linux does not run files from the current directory automatically.

./ tells the system:

“Run this file from this directory.”

5️⃣ If you previously ran this script to install Docker, run it again (./stupid-docker). Ignore this step if Docker was already installed.

./stupid-docker
