To begin running the PayID server, I needed to install Docker at https://www.docker.com/get-started. I download Docker Desktop for Windows and ran the executable.
The installation process progressed until it prompted me for a reboot.
After the reboot, I needed to verify that Docker was installed by typing the command-
docker --version
and afterwards to confirm the installation was working correctly I entered-
docker run hello-world
Success!
In the next update, I’ll continue configuring a PayID server. Stay tuned.

About the Author:
I’m an early cryptocurrency advocate. I discovered Bitcoin in 2013 when it was trading for around $200 and have been completely hooked since. A developer buddy and I looked into trading in the summer of 2017 and I’ve been dabbling with that since. Soon after that, I started mining Ethereum and other currencies with GPU miners so the business of keeping all that organized quickly escalated to being a full time job alongside my normal 9-5. I thought I’d start writing some of my experiences down to keep them straight and to reference if I ever needed or wanted to so I started writing in Steem, and I enjoyed blogging about my mining chronicles for awhile. But, I lost interest in mining as the profits dwindled with increasing overhead so I eventually stepped back and setup a few gaming rigs for my son and I so that we could play some of these games I had been missing on Vega graphics together and liquidated most of my equipment. I still mine a little Ether and Zilliqa today on ezil. I spend my free time exploring and contributing feedback to various blockchain projects today, you can probably find me in the Telegram or Discord for the latest blockchain technology learning about it and asking questions. I’m writing on Publish0x lately about stuff I like and sharing these posts on Twitter at @klymacks for now. Will probably expand to Blurt when that releases, the newest fork of Steem under the same name.
