I've been reading for the last hour or so in preparation for a v5.0.5 to v6 upgrade I wanted to try and tackle tonight.  The actual upgrade doesn't seem to be too complicated, but I'm getting a little lost with Dockers and Plugins. 

 

I currently only use Sonarr and SABnzbd, but want to centralize a MySQL database for Kodi soon. 

 

From what I'm reading, Dockers are different than plugins.  My basic understanding is that a Docker is more of an independent installation where as a plugin runs inside of the OS.  What I can't seem to find is how to set up Sonarr & SAB to communicate with each other when using a Docker format.  Would I be best to go with a plugin since I currently have that working correctly? 

 

Also, is it possible to copy the setting and my library from Sonarr and SAB, or do they need to be set up from scratch again?

 

Thanks!

Communication between docker containers is done basically the same way as a plugin does it.  Within the settings for the each container, you set it to communicate to the port (and IP) of the other container.  About the only thing thats different for containers is that you also "map" the folders (user shares) that the container wants to access to the container.  See the docker FAQ.  http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40937.0

 

MY choice would be to go with docker, but its really up to you.  If you're already using PhAzE's plugins on v5, then upgrading the the v6 versions should be relatively painless.
