Hi Nir, there is very well maintained Docker image with fully configured Galaxy available here: http://bgruening.github.io/docker-galaxy-stable/
The documentation for Galaxy administration is linked from here: https://new.galaxyproject.org/docs/#administration - most notably the recent slide decks for administration training are available here: https://gvlproject.github.io/dagobah-training/ If you encounter any problems come to chat with us here: https://gitter.im/galaxyproject/Lobby Please let us know if you are interested in more.
