Technically, there is no such thing as unRAID dockers.
The repositories give the templates which fill-in the setup fields. Once you understand the setup fields, you can fill all of the fields yourself almost as easy as using a template.
The dockers used by the templates use are built a certain way to maintain a consistency that reduces the amount of stuff downloaded since docker will re-use common parts like the base image if it's already downloaded. That's about all that is special about them, assuming that much was done.
I do understand that, but as of yet haven't needed to install anything from any repositories other than those created by posters here. I did play around with docker on a Linux Mint VM a few months ago, but the plugin here has made it much easier to implement and helped me get my head around the whole concept a bit better too.

I've got some 5 in 3 cages, different to yours, but I replaced all the fans to some Noctua ones. Still not silent by any stretch of the imagination. You could remove the fans and see what your temps do, but my suspicion is that your hard drives will get a little bit too toasty for comfort. May just be better off seeing if you can replace the fans.

Just reread your posts Luca,
If you've got it installed on your Win8 VM and it's working and shutting down your VM, then assuming you run your VM constantly whilst your UnRAID host is on then why don't you just setup a script within the Win8 VM to send a powerdown command to your UnRAID host via SSH.
That would bypass any need to use the Linux configuration of your UPS.

It is possible to import some config files, but sometimes the paths are different depending on how you run the docker.
I have to say I remember running plugins before I left UnRAID for a while and have found it much easier to get Docker's up and going.
I'd backup your flash drive contents with your V5 install, start afresh with V6 and then try importing your configs once you've got the docker apps up and going. Can always go back to V5 if it doesn't work out.
I'd recommend spending a bit of time getting used to Dockers and experimenting.
Also for what it's worth, I'd take this opportunity to migrate to NZBGet from SABNzbd (Lighter on resources and in my experience, faster downloads) and NZBDrone/Sonarr (Just fantastic, way better than Sickbeard in my humble opinion)

Aren't we using a 64bit Slackware kernel, which unfortunately doesn't seem to appear there.
Yes on V6. Not V5.
Sorry, you're right, I assumed as luca2 was using a VM that he's be using one of the 6 betas, but I don't know whether he is or not. Come to think of it, I don't even know if virtualisation is possible in V5?

I'm trying to install WHS 2011 as a VM.
From what I've been reading, it's not possible to install to a qcow container so I'm trying to follow various guides around.
Then stumbled upon this one from jbartlett on the forums here!
Unfortunately I'm stuck at the first hurdle...
Anyone know how best to run this command,
qemu-img create -f raw WHS2011.img 160G
I think once I've managed to create the img file I'll be good to go.
I've tried using the plugin to create Raw, qcow & qcow2 but WHS2011 won't load the drivers to install to any of these and it's a well documented issue.
Thanks for any help.

thanks for all the time you guys take to make us understand the new docker.
but judging by the number of views to this thread i am definitely not the only noob to understanding v6.
it would be very nice if there was a sticky to explain the value of using the new features of v6, and how to use them, i am still lost as all the features splinter into new threads, as its in beta and no where definitive to start the journey into v6.
what i am asking for is a possible sticky to using v6 and all its features....
tooo many splinter threads ....
I know what you mean, but I found that once I got 6b12 up and running then using Docker became very easy. To be honest I had already read about docker and been playing around with it in a Mint install a month or so ago, but the current plugin makes it very easy. What I'd suggest is get stuck in if you haven't already and see how you get on.
The needo, smdion and gfjardim repositories make life very easy, I haven't yet progressed onto using "Non-Unraid" dockers but I will with time, and I think I've got my head around how to do so now.

So finally started working at some point between 22:00 4th February and 08:00 on 5th February - Forum time.
There was an issue for others as documented here but seems sporadic and uncommon.
Posting back so that if anyone else has similar issues then they will know the cause.
As gfjardim said it is being looked into and as there isn't a timeout on curl in the plugin, it was causing my webgui to hang.
Problem is there was no way to check if it was back up and I found myself restarting my server after each failed attempt.
If you think this may be your problem then a simple way to check is to SSH into your box and run a docker pull
For example
docker pull needo/mariadb
If you're having the same problem I had then after about a minute you'll get an error message along the lines of
Get https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/... read tcp 162.242.195.84:443: i/o timeout
Once the problem has disappeared and you can pull successfully, you're good to go with using the webgui again.
Thanks to gfjardim for telling me the issue as I don't think I'd have figured it out by myself!

I spotted this deal on Ebay. Bought one for myself but there is still six left. Thought the community might find it useful. For the record I have no relationship or interest in the seller personally.

I'm getting timeouts when trying to access the registry. Gfjardim has confirmed it's a problem. Maybe it's geographical? I'm in the UK for what it's worth.
-
Thanks for everyone who contributed to the guides posted here, all very useful.
-
Think I've got it.
If I SSH in
docker pull needo/mariadb
Hangs and nothing happens, figure that when that works, I'm good to go again.

Not to digress from the original subject matter, but I'm keen on getting PFSense up and running as a VM on my Unraid box. I'd quite like to use it as a VPN gateway and keep my current router modem combo as is. Is that possible?
Yes, I currently am running a pfSense VM and then run an ethernet cable to my E3000 and have that act as the wifi. The VM is not running "perfectly" yet, I am planning on post more on this once I have done other tests but that will probably be a few weeks.
I went ahead and dd wrt my router and man I had forgotten the power of the dd wrt
The open Vpn docker is not what I wanted
I will try one of the guides to setup Vpn on the router and if that fails I will pursue the pfSense route.
The reason I went to pfSense was that my E3000 router was not powerful enough to give me my full download speed when using a VPN. The E3000 would only give me around 7 Mbps download speed when using the VPN and I get 4x that speed. I then moved to pfSense so that I could get my full download speed when sending data through the VPN. I would guess that you will run into the same limitations, unless you own a very high end router (commercial grade) or your download speed is lower than the threshold.
I'll look forward to that write up. Got a dual Intel NIC waiting to go in my server, but a few more pressing issues at the moment to sort out.

Is there anywhere I can look to for updates?

Anyone got any ideas?
Just to play devils advocate, Ubuntu server VM... It seems like a good group of people have issues with docker after each unRAID beta update. My Ubuntu VM has worked flawlessly since beta 6... Anyway just thought I would throw that out there.
It's not a bad idea at all, and one I have toyed with. I do like the simplicity of dockers though and I'm not the most skilled with the Linux CLI. My last setup was a Linux Mint VM but couldn't quite get everything working.
I had Docker up and running, but the N/A next to my containers were a perfect example of curiosity killed the cat. Started afresh and couldn't get anywhere as the registry was down. On the plus side, at least I know why the N/A appeared.....
-
Installed unmenu and got to disk management there. I found all my 4tb volumes present and mountable via there.
-
I've not tried it but I can't see any reason why B wouldn't work.
Depending on how much RAM you have you might be better off with this solution to prevent lots of writes to your SSD
-
Still down for me.
Tried to SSH and used
docker search phusion
with the idea that I could subsequently use the result to try
docker pull ......
to check when the registry is back up, but that doesn't seem to work. Anyone got any ideas?
-
I kind of figured it was an external problem, no worries about the timeout, was causing my webui to hang but I've just rebooted my array and not started docker.
Is there a URL I can check to see when it's back up?
-
See last post for conclusions
Still trying to get my UnRAID array up and going, very nearly there, at some point this morning, all my containers were showing N/A in red next to them.
Had to reboot to add another disk and thought I'd play around. Deleted my docker.img and recreated it but although the file was present on the disk nothing was showing up under Docker Images on the WebUI.
Tried a completely fresh UnRAID install, adding my data disks and attempting to start from scratch but still the same problem.
Can reach all the repositories from smdion, needo etc via the web but can't save them on the WebUI.
Can't work out where the docker.img files are downloaded as was wondering if it was unable to create the image correctly and download the necessary file.
Have tried creating docker.img on my xfs formatted cache drive and btrfs SSD which is part of the array (Set the image to be saved specifically to that disk)

Here's the relevant bit of my syslog and I can't see anything untoward myself, so was wondering if anyone was having similar problems at the moment?

I know some will deride this, but one of my favourite packers (who uses arch as a base) just released this in the last few days.
https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/binhex/arch-delugevpn/
Haven't had a chance to have a look yet, but could be interesting. Considering he packages very well, could be a nice solution.
I quite like deluge, I might give it a go, only rarely use torrents though.
Thanks for this and to the OP for transmission, good to have options.

The passwords feature is a great addition, although not one I need (at the moment) but is there any way to connect via the Web-VNC without having to send a blank password.
If I click send password with a blank password, then I can connect fine, but the pop-up box doesn't disappear. Not a massive problem but I can't seem to work out how to close it without disconnecting.
