Mine is /config  /mnt/cache/Apps/plex/

 

Is this wrong?

That's correct.  Was just spitballing ideas

Thanks

 

It's not a major issue not reaching the dashboard, but need to get it fixed somehow

Squid has created an excellent guide to creating your own Docker templates (in the Docker FAQ) -

 

  How Do I Create My Own Docker Templates?

[gellux]

i have a couple dockers i want to use but in their config page, the port allocations clash with qbittorrent on 8080. changing the host path doesn't work so i'm left with a limited amount of dockers i can use. i initially wanted to use Go-Auto-YT but had to settle with Jdownloader2, which now seems to be not working (can't enter any text anymore to create a new download, and it wasn't great to begin with). 

 

either way, i just haven't had any luck changing settings like this at all, it just never seems to work.

Have you read any of the Docker FAQ? What Network Type are you setting for the dockers? Host Network Type will not work if you need to map the container port to a different host port. Lots of people are doing this successfully.

yeah! specifically this 

which is exactly what i'm trying to do. i've opened the Docker tab, clicked Edit on go-auto-yt and where it says HTTP Port: i've changed 8080 to 8090, underneath it still says Container Port: 8080

 

so i've assumed that's what's being recommended? but it doesn't work. unless i've totally misunderstood the instructions which is very possible.

And it always will say that because internally the app is using port 8080, but the docker system will accept the connections on port 8090 (assuming you're using bridge mode) and forward it to the app on it's port 8080.

 

A vast number of apps all use port 8080 internally and can be run simultaneously no problems doing exactly what you've done.  BUT, if you've change the container port via the EDIT button, then you've messed around with the whole system and it won't work.  You just need to change the HOST port and leave everything else alone.

forgive me, but how else are you meant to do it? i thought that was the straight-forward idiot-proof way. i'm obviously wrong.

On the add / edit screen for the template, you can simply type in the appropriate port you want to use (all assuming you're on bridge mode).  If you do decide to hit the edit button, only change the HOST port.

 

 

This is from one of my apps (cops).  It is set for its webUI to be on port 807.

yeah that's literally all i've done. it won't allow me to start the app/docker/image whatever you wanna call it so maybe there's another issue?

Post your docker run command.  See the first recommended post in the Docker FAQ thread.

[gellux]

if it adds anything, i've included that pic of my docker images. the port mappings shown for the go-auto-yt are completely different to the others which are like 192.168.etc.etc and stuff so i suspect that's the problem? or at least one of the problems.

It started no problems.  What's happening is a template error by @Jidovu Marius Adrian.  Edit the container, switch to Advanced View in the top right and on the Web-UI line change it from

 

http://[IP]:[PORT:9000]

to instead be

http://[IP]:[PORT:8080]

The webUI on the context menu should then work.

Its starting, so any further problems you need to post within its support thread as it's now application specific

it doesn't start at all. I click Start and it spins a second and then goes to Stopped

[Squid]

The docker run command doesn't return any errors.  Which means that the container started no problems.  If it then exists due to whatever other reason then that's something within the container itself (IDK ? config file?) then you need to look in the support thread etc for help on that and ideally post there.  It's not a general error that anyone is going to be able to help with (ie: myself) who doesn't actually run the thing.

i see what you mean. thanks for your help!

As an aside, I did just install the app.  Didn't change a thing on the template (which means that it uses port 9000) and it starts up no problems at all.
