Hey there,

I just got a Zimaboard and I got Portainer installed. I did a search for Penpot via [docker.io](https://docker.io/) and saw this:

[https://hub.docker.com/search?type=image&q=penpot](https://hub.docker.com/search?type=image&q=penpot)

I’m not sure which one I’m supposed to use. Any help would be appreciated since I’m just learning and very new to Docker. Thank you!

Hey there, yes I did. From my (beginner level) research I had to create a new stack, which uses docker compose.

I copy pasted everything in here into it:  
[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/penpot/penpot/main/docker/images/docker-compose.yaml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/penpot/penpot/main/docker/images/docker-compose.yaml)

However, when I try to access the front end, it just times out and I get nothing.

Here are some screenshots for ya:

Thank you!
