April 6, 201511 yr Hey! I was thinking it would be really awesome to have a docker that had a unix base image that could be accessed via a web VNC window. Then from there you could installed some Windows programs like corz checksum to run from time to time. I attempted to create on earlier today but my lack of Docker knowledge was very apparent. Would anyone be interested in creating this Docker? http://corz.org/windows/software/checksum/
April 6, 201511 yr i saw a docker with winetools over the weekend, it was a beast though, lol well over 2gb and no info on using it.
April 7, 201511 yr Author SO installing corz in a docker via wine is probably not worth the trouble. I just ran a test where I made a copy of my Ubuntu Server VM and then installed gnome desktop. I then installed wine and corz and after starting the checksum via terminal (you do not get a cool right click verify like in Windows) it verified 19 test movies in 2m 37s. I than ran the same verify test on my Windows 8 VM and it finished in 1m 51s. I would have thought the the 9p shares in Ubuntu would have given corz better speeds than my mapped network drives in Windows... and now to tell my server to go back to the original Ubuntu Server before I installed all the junk... I really like VM's

I really like VM's I like VM's too, in the rush to dockerify everything they are getting overlooked, which is a shame because they can do a lot that at the moment you just cannot do in a docker.
April 7, 201511 yr Another vote for VMs here, although to be fair they are a bit more tricky to set up than dockers, but there's not much you can't accomplish with them.
April 8, 201511 yr We agree! VMs and Containers are better together and they can compliment each other really well. We see VMs as an ideal place for semi-savvy users to install and manage their own apps (without relying on Docker) or to support the use of extraneous hardware (other PCI devices, USB devices, etc.) where driver support for those devices can be supplied by the virtual machine instead of the host itself. This let's us keep unRAID lean and mean as an OS, but very capable to perform lots of various functions with minimal effort / complexity / risk. I can assure you we are NOT overlooking VMs and you will see more about them very soon.

April 8, 201511 yr My wife's TV habits depend on a VM! It's like life and death but far more serious....

So then I thought about WINE ... and now you've crushed my hopes Could you tell what was really slowing it down? And I gotta say, that is still probably faster than pulling the files across the network for my PC to hash.
May 17, 201511 yr Hey! I was thinking it would be really awesome to have a docker that had a unix base image that could be accessed via a web VNC window. Then from there you could installed some Windows programs like corz checksum to run from time to time. I attempted to create on earlier today but my lack of Docker knowledge was very apparent. Would anyone be interested in creating this Docker? http://corz.org/windows/software/checksum/ Check out the Dockergui-dev container in my repo. All it does is use hurricane's web gui base and opens a terminal in the browser window. From there, you can install whatever you want and run whatever you want. Your changes will remain until you either update or reinstall the container. Stopping and starting wouldn't delete your changes. For instance, you want to run Firefox? Fire it up, do sudo apt-get install firefox (pass is PASSWD) and then type firefox. Voila.

I test the install in there and once I get it to work and figure out the right steps, I recreate them in a new dockerfile.

And I gotta say, that is still probably faster than pulling the files across the network for my PC to hash. Not really sure why it was slower but the faster test was hashing checks across the network from the PC... I was surprised with the results as well. I only ran the one test before I gave up so I could have very well done something stupid. Please let me know if you figure out a way to get corz working and faster than running it through Windows.
May 17, 201511 yr i was trying out some screen control docker on my laptop, and i wound up with a never ending sequence of windows within windows of my laptop screen Just use Guacamole to remote into the machine you are on. Infinite regress.

May 19, 201511 yr What are some other cool ideas for VM's? On VM, I am running nZEDb usenet indexer for my friends and family. On Dockers I am running: Calibre Server Apache-PHP-phpMyAdmin Madsonic MariaDb Plex MS Plexwatch I use plugins for: Sab Sickrage, CP, HP, Sonarr (still trying to like it) NZBMegasearch I have never had any issue running any of the above via plugins.
