I'm trying to install a docker container that's housed on Github as there's not Docker Hub version (or alternate) available. I've tried a few tutorials Google found but none seem to work and result in errors. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If there's no way to do this, then is there a way to clone the github files to docker hub?

Thanks.

You can clone the repo and push it to your own Docker account and then pull it from hub into Unraid.

What you're going to get screwed on however is that there won't be a template for unraid. And even if there were, Unraid is incapable of using a template if it doesn't come from Community Apps or you edit the automatically created template yourself after. Ya, I couldn't believe it either. Why not just pull the template from Dockerhub along with everything else if it exists as part of the container right?

Anyway, my best recommendation is to instead install portainer and use docker-compose, avoiding all the Unraid docker headaches.

Thanks. I'll give this a try.

Unraid's docker implementation is REALLY COOL - when you've never used docker before. Man, I loved it. Now that I have even a basic knowledge, it's a total and complete pain and I know I have a really unpopular opinion, I'd love to see the CURRENT Community Apps concept go away entirely (it's not even a core part of Unraid right now) and be replaced with first-class docker compose with a modern UI, while keeping unraid templates that can be pulled from the containers themselves regardless of where they're hosted for added custom designing setup for specific containers (similar to what we have now in that respect).

If Unraid (the company) wants to host and vet their own list of containers, that's cool and they can offer a new baked-in repo while still giving everyone the ability to use the millions of existing containers out there much more easily. Not to mention how much easier it would be to work on your own without jumping through the current set-up-CA-repo hoops.
