  1. Oh. At least you stopped me before I posted a furthermore reply Sent via Tapatalk because I'm either at work or enjoying the summer
  2. I can't tell what container is written by an maintainer vs one that's not (unless its dirt obvious) The one thing is that if an template author is beyond lazy and tosses up a template that CA converted, and leaves in the "...Converted By CA..." message in the description, it's automatically moderated by CA implying to users to not use it. It hasn't. If anything, its higher now that someone (pat on head ) actually checks stuff out. But I can't discriminate either. If a simple template adds value to the app eco-system, its in. If it doesn't, its removed. If the original question had been from anyone other than @itimpi, I would have ignored it completely. My opinion there is that if you can't figure out Who the author of CA is and who handles it or, Find the FAQ about what is required for inclusion in CA Then I probably don't want you in there. Most of the requests that I get for additions to CA don't fulfill the basic requirements set out in the FAQ. The repo does get added as a tentative, while the other requirements are in the process of being met. If after ~1 week the requirements aren't met, the repo gets pulled. Add in all of the automated checks that CA itself performs on every template present, and either the fixes it makes, or the automatic blacklisting under certain circumstances (lol -> lsio has one template automatically being dropped). And there are other tests I do on the applists via scripts here every once in a while that aren't convenient for CA to do itself every time a user loads it. You've got to remember also that I read (or at least skim) pretty much all the posts here. As far as problems with apps are concerned, the ones that catch my eye are ones that don't work out of the box. On any post like that, its an automatic -> I install it. If it works for me, so be it. If it doesn't work action gets taken. But, of course I'm not stupid either. Every single user of CA has had to agree to the "Cover My Ass" warning when installing before they are able to use it. And yes I know that I'm sounding a bit defensive here. You are right there, and point taken, but I think that's more of an education thing than something which I can easily moderate, especially since the internet effectively give anonymity to everyone. Nothing says that the owner of the github repo for templates can't have a separate account for the docker builds, and in the case of non-automated builds, you can't even find the github repo for the build itself. Which is why in CA and on the docker/dashboard drop downs there is are separate links to Support Threads / Project Threads. Like I said I have no problems with support threads themselves being hosted on another forum. I agree. Especially since the app is both timely, popular in the hardware sense, missing from CA, and certainly worthy of inclusion. The ultimate test here (and with any app) is how good it is, not how good the maintainer of the template or container is.
  3. It's there when you add or edit a VM Some context for what you're talking about would be nice. And the diagnostics / screenshots
  4. In this case, it is enough. Especially since they themselves tell you how to install via docker. Open-Source does not mean free to use, nor does it mean that it has to be licensed under GPL or something that allows modifications / forks / whatnot. I'm not a particular fan of it, but there are a ton of apps like that available. First one that pops into mind is cAdvisor @smdion But, so long as the container actually works, then I do allow them in. Otherwise, there would be a ton of apps that I would have never known about. Glances, NetData as examples. Fundamentally, is there any reason why I should run mySQL from LSIO's repository and not from Bungy's repository. His points to the official repo whereas LSIO's is a homebrew. Truth be told, on mySQL, I'm more inclined to believe that the official version is going to be more stable and bug-free than a homebrew. Sure, all of lsio containers utilize the same base image in order to save space, but storage is cheap. Support threads do not technically have to be hosted on unRaid. Prime example would be the official Plex container. It's support link points to their own forum. It actually bothers me more about the completely unsupported containers that are out there by persons who did create their own docker containers. There's one repository in CA from a formerly active member (still semi-active) that has now chosen to completely abandon all of the containers within it and support instead a different repository. If/when the individual apps within have issues posted about them, the app tends to get immediately blacklisted or deprecated since I know there is no fix forthcoming. There's another repository present in CA that as far as I'm concerned, the authors of have no business creating containers in the first place, support on them is nil, and recommendation on the threads is to not use them. But for political reasons, they have to stay. There's gray areas all around. LSIO's containers all auto-update to the latest version of the program every Friday (Plex does it IIRC with every startup). How many times has LSIO pumped out an update for an app that actually breaks the app? When the bug seems to take a while to fix, the suggestion is to instead choose a particular tag instead of waiting for the app itself to get fixed. If you're pumping out autoupdating containers and are not the authors of the app, then you're not in control either. In this particular circumstance, I can only think of two apps where the maintainer of the template is actually completely in control. JBartlett's Diskspeed, and LSIO's Heimdall. The one thing that's a given is the simply publishing a template to an app does not mean that you will get the "Developer Status". That forum status is not given out lightly anymore.
  5. Wow. An old timer. ? Completely off topic, but I remember failing my coSci exam because of a floating point error in the Pascal compiler on the Vax at my university (only one left in Canada). The program the Prof wanted would return a result out by 1/100,000. I saw that, rewrote the math routines and was the only one who actually came up with the correct answer and buddy decided to fail me because I was also the only one who didn't come up with the result he was looking for. Really turned me off school...
  6. Good its going, but no clue as to what the problem was. It definitely was limited to something on your end, otherwise I'm sure I would have been inundated with posts.

  8. Apps tab, previous apps, hit the download button not the checkbox and then edit out what you did and hit apply Sent via Tapatalk because I'm either at work or enjoying the summer
  9. Best guess to me is that your flash drive is full and/or corrupted. You can always try removing the plugin, and then reinstalling.
  10. As many times as necessary until a disk has more free space available than the highwater mark
  11. But the minimum free space that you set was 200GB, and no disk has 200GB available on it.
  12. You also need to add all of the environment variables that it lists on the docker page and configure appropriately
  13. IDK Looks like something went wrong for some reason on install. I just did a fresh one and there's no problem with the icon
  14. Its the JSON log files. Any thing else logged perhaps by the app itself outside of the normal logging routines would be handled internally in the container. Sent via Tapatalk because I'm either at work or enjoying the summer
  15. Any long running commands do not get aborted. You want the user script to start the "real" script in the background by doing something like echo "pathToScrip" | at NOW -m Sent via Tapatalk because I'm either at work or enjoying the summer
  16. Two choices. You can manually modify shares.cfg and change the cron entry there or you can create a user script to run mover (would probably need to specify the complete path in the script) AFK though and I can't remember the logic I'm using to determine if it's the forced mover or the scheduled mover running. Will have to check tomorrow Sent from my SM-T560NU using Tapatalk
  17. The rclone plugins update to the latest versions everytime they're installed Sent via Tapatalk because I'm either at work or enjoying the summer
  18. Can you install any other app? Sent via Tapatalk because I'm either at work or enjoying the summer
  19. Nothing should be displayed on the screen at all. Command works for me if I change the name of the container no problems
  20. You mean there's also a respectable member of the population in the UK?!?!
