I am new to Shibboleth and trying to implement it on my small home network.

The point being made is that when you don't know what you're doing, don't add "shortcuts".

Adding Docker, the Unicon GUI, and anything else not specific to just getting the IdP up is going to get in your way and introduce many other points of failure or confusion.

Do what the documentation for initial installs specifically says and not a bunch of other things:

Nowhere does that tell you to "sign" any certificates, for example.

In particular, Typical Next Steps, which ought to be more prominent. I will redo the page to be a bit more approachable.
