It’s my first time trying to selfhost things for myself, and among one of those services I want to host is Fireshare, but I just can’t make it work and I don’t know how to make it work.

First of all, I’m a complete noob and I barely have experience with Linux, I’m a complete ignorant on servers.

I honestly don’t understand how to install it in the first place, and I’ve already seen the Docker installation command.

docker run --name fireshare -v $(pwd)/fireshare:/data:rw -v $(pwd)/fireshare_processed:/processed:rw -v /path/to/my_game_clips:/videos:rw -p 8080:80 -e ADMIN_PASSWORD=your-admin-password -d shaneisrael/fireshare:latest

When I try to run that command and change the directory of the clips, and the administrator password the only thing I get is a Docker error saying:

docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for 8080, repository does not exist or may require ‘docker login’: denied: requested access to the resource is denied.

And besides, already host Owncast at port 8080, can’t I use another port?

    Change the -p 8080:80 part to something else, like -p 8090:80, then it’ll be running on port 8090 instead (or switch it for another port entirely!). The first number is which port you wish to bind on your machine, the second one is what port the container process is listening on (where 80 is very usual).
