Thanks to everyone for the great replies. I just got confirmation from Dell that I need to go with the server version. So it's looking like CentOS 8 Stream / Docker CE / Docker compose will be the setup. Stand by, there will probably be more noob questions coming soon.
Yeah wow that's gross that they force those specifically. Maybe Dell should catch up with everything that's going on in the world.
Dell did not force that.
I don't get what you mean? They are forcing docker-compose over better containerized alternatives and those specific host versions. The host means nothing, it completely removes the point of a containerized app if I only have specific hosts I can run on.
While what you say here is true, most developers don't set up the containers properly. Leading to being locked into certain underlying distributions. In my experience with Docker, it's portability is mostly hype because of that issue.
I've never had that happen. Can you point me to an example? How would the containerized app even know what system it's running on? It's namespaced in the kernel. I'd love to see a real world example of this.
The only thing I can think of is you tried to run an x86 container on an arm system. The system architecture type should be the only thing that has an affect here

It's been months since I've tried, because I gave up on using the docker deployment method for open source projects.
I know, it makes no sense, but it's what I've run into way more often than not. I think @scottalanmiller has mentioned having these same issues with Docker.

We only run containerized deployments and have never seen that. Open source, enterprise paid, or internally developed.
See if you can find something you couldn't deploy because it must have been a misconfiguration.

Check the original post, Dell gave us the choice of Docker CE or Docker Enterprise. I just read today that Enterprise license is included with Windows 2016/2019 license, so my assumption that "CE is free but Enterprise is not" was wrong. Dell says we can use either, I listed CE because I was unaware of the license thing with Windows. I will be using Enterprise edition.
I told y'all right up front that I don't know shit about any of this...

Eh EE really has no benefits. The crazy thing is the whole landscape is shifting away from Docker. K8s is already on containerd. The only thing left for docker is running locally on your laptop which is becoming less and less of a thing anyway.
All of their choices are pretty bad. RHEL/CentOS has a bad/annoying docker implementation. SUSE shouldn't require SLED. It just sounds overall like dell is trying to stay relevant but are using tech from 2017 to do that

Imagine how I feel having to deploy this nonsense. I guess that's what I get for getting sick and missing 8 months of work.

is the container image public or is it a private Dell repo?
I'd like to take a look at it if it's public.

I'm assuming it is private because Dell. They have referred to it as "their" container before.
All this would usually be handled by Dell deployment team, but we won't let them install their "support assist" backdoor malware on our production systems.

Finally I have some time to get going on this! Just kicked off CentOS 8 stream install. Fingers crossed...

I think I did it! OS install worked, SSH to server to run commands that installed Docker et al... I think I may have actually LINUX'ed!!!
It will be at least next week before the Dell engineers can check it oot and see if I did it right, but I'm feeling pretty good about it. You guys ROCK!
Stand by for further dumb questions...

Update on my Linux project -
Just got done with the configuration call with Dell, all of my Linux-ing worked!!!! Once the 1st replication job runs there will be another setup call (hopefully the final one), but everything is looking good so far. Thanks again for the assistance.
