Docker MAC addresses are based on the IP address assigned to it, which could change with each server reboot. You can test this by fixing the MAC address using the container --mac-address parameter. Don't have time to try this myself, but just a thought. Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Not to throw a further spanner in the works, but it seems Dropbox are dropping support for all Linux file systems other than unencrypted ext4.https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/08/14/dropbox_encrypted_linux_support/Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

In fact, changing the docker IP and/or mac address doesn't make it drop the link, but a server restart does. 3 hours ago, CHBMB said: Not to throw a further spanner in the works, but it seems Dropbox are dropping support for all Linux file systems other than unencrypted ext4.https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/08/14/dropbox_encrypted_linux_support/ Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk Read about this is and read the fine print - anything with xattr support should still work, and AFAIK, XFS has xattr at least....

Sounds like they won't support any Linux file system except unencrypted ext4. I received the email from them today that identified my unRAID server using your docker as not compatible beginning November 1. Luckily, I just got Nextcloud running so goodbye Dropbox.

Ockingshay Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) I also received the email... i use dropbox for black hole locations in torrent clients to sync .torrent files across devices. Is there an alternative that can do this? needs to work across Mac, Windows, iOS and Linux ideally. Edited August 25, 2018 by Ockingshay Quote Link to comment
MyKroFt Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I switched to Resilo-sync to do the torrent files sync Quote Link to comment
dadarara Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Guys, what does this mean? (get this when I enter the link to connect the computer to dropbox) Error You cannot log in to the Dropbox desktop app because your device is running an unsupported operating system.You must now be on glibc 2.19 or higher to log back in and use the Dropbox desktop application. We recommend that you update to a supported Linux operating system (Ubuntu 14.04+ or Fedora 21+) or meet the new system requirements.Additionally, your Dropbox folder will need to be on an ext4-formatted hard drive or partition.

ken-ji Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Sorry guys, Dropbox is going to impose really arbitrary limitations (from my point of view) on the Linux OS and filesystem (EXT4 only) soon or already is. I haven't gotten around to checking but I think this docker is not going to work anymore and moving forward you'll need to use Dropbox in a VM (ugh) or use rclone (I'm leaning on this) @Squid Maybe its time to flag this docker?

Marauder Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I was really wanting a dropbox docker. Hopefully there will be a work around for this. Looks like they changed things sometime last night. Quote Link to comment
emmcee Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks for all your hard work ken-ji. It was a great Docker while it lasted. And thanks to MyKroFt too. Loosk liek Resilio-sync will work as a replacement for me. Quote Link to comment
Marauder Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I"m going to try out nextcloud as it has ios app support. If that doesn't work i'll try owncloud. Quote Link to comment
jowi Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) I've installed the Dropbox folder on a XFS formatted SSD, and manually upgraded the glibc in the docker to 2.23 using https://slackware.pkgs.org/14.2/slackware-patches-x86_64/glibc-2.23-x86_64-4_slack14.2.txz.html since Dropbox logging was also complaining that it needed a glibc version >2.19 (docker has 2.17) and now it is working again.

Glad you got it fixed. Any chance that you can explain the procedure for manually updating the LIB? I am having the same issue and need to fix asap. Quote Link to comment
jowi Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I followed the install howto in the link. So just downloaded the package and then upgradepkg --install-new glibc-2.23-x86_64-4_slack14.2.txz. Quote Link to comment
ken-ji Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 hmm.. might look into this and try to upgrade the base libs to 14.2 or current Quote Link to comment
jowi Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Just rebooted the server, and now dropbox is again complaining about the diskformat (my ssd is xfs) which is weird, it updated everything 2 days ago and was syncing as well. It won't sync now... Quote Link to comment
Marauder Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I just went with a VM approach. It's not ideal, but I just did a Debian vm with max 2 cpu and 1gb ram. Quote Link to comment
TheExplorographer Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So has the dev just abandoned this? Quote Link to comment

Well, since it hasn't been updated with this fix...I wonder why I think that? Keep your CAPS SLAMS to yourself. The plugin has been broken for quite a while. So before I donate to the cause...I asked the question. Edited February 26, 2019 by TheExplorographer Quote Link to comment
ken-ji Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Its because of all the warnings from Dropbox about only supporting EXT4 since late 2018, which is not a supported FS for Unraid. I just updated the entire container to Slackware 14.2 which makes the step mentioned above moot, but I haven't had the time to shake it down. I'm personally switching to rclone as a plugin, but I'm also studying if it can be used safely as a container. Quote Link to comment
jowi Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Funny thing is, i had it working on XFS just a few days ago, after updating libc... but now it complains about the filesystem again. Quote Link to comment
TheExplorographer Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Okay. Well that solves that. Docker deleted. Thanks for the update. Quote Link to comment
jowi Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Is it possible to (re)format my SSD to ext4 in UNRAID? That would solve it i assume? Quote Link to comment
