so I just upgraded to v6 and enabled docker.  I dont have a cache disk so I put it on a disk with lots of space (/mnt/disk12/docker.img).

 

now when I go to the docker tab under template repositories, I have https://github.com/limetech/docker-templates

 

and I added another one:

https://github.com/gfjardim/docker-containers/tree/templates

 

but for some reason when I go to Add a container and click the Choose a Template dropdown, there are no templates listed.

 

any ideas?

Install Community Applications plugin and forget about adding repositories manually. Also, reconsider whether you want to have a cache drive because apps on an array drive will keep the app drive and parity spinning.

ok I can give that a shot - how do I install the community applications plugin?

 

and I definitely would lies to have a cache drive - I just gotta save up a bit more cash to get one.  Is it possible to move my docker img to a cache drive if I put one in later?

Once you get dockers set up it isn't really a problem to create a new docker img. All of your application data can be moved and the individual dockers themselves can be recreated from the templates stored on your flash drive and redownloaded. Sounds complicated but it really isn't.

ok perfect.  so the plan is to get a cache drive pretty soon but in the meantime I am just playing with docker.

 

so how do I go about installing the Community Applications Plugin?

See search tips in my sig.

ok so I found a thread about it and it gave the url to put into the plugins page.  I did that and tried to install the plugin and got the following messaGE:

Probably a DNS problem. From console or telnet, what do you get with this command?

ping raw.githubusercontent.com -c 3

Or just go to Network Settings and put 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for your DNS servers.

the ping returns unknown host.

 

DNS is currently set to the IP address of my router.

 

the ping returns unknown host

Then you have a DNS problem.

 

...go to Network Settings and put 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for your DNS servers.

hmm - so i went to stop the array so that I could modify the DNS settings and it wont stop.  I see the following on the bottom of the screen but otherwise it is just sitting there spinning...  Its been like that for at least 20 minutes.

 

Stopping Docker...Stopping libvirt...Stop AVAHI...Stop AFP...Stop SMB...Spinning up all drives...Sync filesystems...

 

and I cant seem to do anything else when this is happening - if i open up a new tab and try to go anywhere else in unraid interface it just hangs.

 

The same thing happened yesterday when I tried to run the permissions update tool.

 

I feel like something bigger might be wrong here

If you have a console or telnet session with the current directory on one of the disks it will consider that disk open and won't let it unmount.

i did have a telnet session open from my mac but i closed that window.  I am nto aware of any other console or telnet sessions.  is ther any way to find out for sure and if they exist close them?

Is it still stuck trying to stop?

yes... its been quite a while now.

it has been hung up for well over an hour now... how can I find out what is actually happening here?

You can shut it down the hard way then take your flash drive and edit config/disk.cfg and change startArray="yes" to "no" and it will not autostart when you boot. Then you can fix your DNS and try again.

 

Were you ever able to get a diagnostic? I didn't see one in this thread or your other one.

ok i just did a hard shut down and modified the disk.cfg.  Its booting up now.

 

I was never able to get the diagnostic.  I will try it from the command line like you mentioned in the other thread and if I can get it, I will post here.

ok server is back up.  I was able to telnet in and run diagnostic.  here is the zip file (attached)

You need to exit your SSH/telnet when stopping the array.

i thought I had.    I didnt have any terminal windows open on my mac.  How could I I tell that there was a session open somewhere and where to go to close it?

 

In Tools, there is a Processes option.  I look for a line such as

 

root    25982  1611  0 23:27 ?        00:00:00 sshd: root@pts/0

 

to determine if there is a terminal open.

 

I've also had an array fail to shutdown when Docker wouldn't shutdown properly.  I forget what I was doing to cause that.
