here’s a super simple setup of openemr 5.0.2(2) on ubuntu 20 server, thanks to @ncavalier for [initially documenting](https://community.open-emr.org/t/docker-installation-instruction-on-linux-ubuntu/13764/7) and @brady.miller’s guidance

`from a terminal prompt`

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt install [docker.io](http://docker.io)
3. sudo systemctl enable --now docker
4. sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
5. newgrp docker
6. sudo apt install docker-compose
7. mkdir openemr
8. cd openemr
9. wget [https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bradymiller/8f8dc5215b07d287f7dc0fed80bf2b9d/raw/9b2a762849bbf8ce0a0d4dff30c4a359cfa88a44/openemr-502-docker-example-docker-compose.yml](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bradymiller/8f8dc5215b07d287f7dc0fed80bf2b9d/raw/9b2a762849bbf8ce0a0d4dff30c4a359cfa88a44/openemr-502-docker-example-docker-compose.yml)
10. mv openemr-502-docker-example-docker-compose.yml docker-compose.yml
11. docker-compose up -d
12. make a cup of 🍵
13. if using ubuntu 20 desktop login in at localhost in your browser with admin pass (if using server go to client with browser and enter ip of server)
