Setup a Unix/Linux machine
Before moving further, we should have a unix/linux machine with root access. Examples on this website can be replicated on a unix machine, which has docker installed for some cases. You can setup the machine using Virtual Box on a windows machine.
If you can’t setup unix/linux machine locally, you can get one on any cloud vendor’s platform, which is generally free for 1 year (Now, 3 months for GCP).
