How do I install Docker MCP Gateway on Raspberry Pi 5?

Grab Docker Engine, add user to group, curl arm64 binaries for docker-mcp and docker-pass wrapper. Systemd seals it.

What's the Linux gotcha for Docker MCP secrets?

No `config:` env injection—use `secrets:` only. Wrapper fixes CLI pass error.

Can I run custom MCP servers on headless Linux?

Yes—pull/build images, catalog YAML, register local. Proxy via :8811 with tokens.
