So today I noticed that 2 of my dockers weren't running (after an update). I tried to start them manually, nothing. When I clicked on edit and saved it, without changing anything. An exact copy of the original docker installed, but it was running.

 

I tried the obvious solution: deleting the non-running docker. And what happens still amazes me: I don't know for sure which of the 2 versions got deleted, but the one that stayed won't run. Bringing me back to the original problem and keeping the vicious circle going.

 

I thought removing the remaining docker that won't run and do a clean install would work, but I get an error when I try and it fails.

 

Problem is with 2 dockers: Plex and PlexPy.

A reboot or a new docker image would probably fix this.

 

What's the error?

Hey,

Try this:

Settings > Docker > Enable Docker: No

terminal into you docker image location and rename it from docker.img to dockerold.img

start docker again.

the containers that no longer run will show at the bottom of the list as a grey icon, remove them

Screenshot from iPad is to big in file size, so I copied the error when I try to delete the single not running docker.

 

 

Command:

root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker rm -f plexpy

Error response from daemon: no such id: plexpy

Error: failed to remove containers: [plexpy]

 

The command failed.

Wont that affect my other working dockers? Or will they keep working as before when done?

this will not affect your working apps under docker.

if it does, we can change dockerold.img back to docker.img

When i did what you proposed, all my dockers disappeared. But when I reverted the dockerold.img back, all my dockers where back and the non working became "unavailable", and this time deleting them worked.

 

Thanks!

Yeah, for future reference, what I was trying to say to do was to:

 

1) Delete(or rename) the docker image. This will leave you with 0 dockers installed. This isn't a problem, because you should have your container configs on your array or cache drive, and the flash has templates of all of your most recent settings/mappings for each docker container you have ever installed

2) Create a new docker image

3) Add each container back. Go to the template drop down and select the containers you want to reinstall from the [templates-user] list

 

Each container should reinstall just fine, and will be pointed to the config files you were using before. They should all work again like nothing happened. I have done this several times now.

Oh ok, I didn't know they would be still saved as a template. Good to know, thanks

Glad it worked!

 

smashingtool's way of doing it would have been the proper way.

I completly forgot to add the part where you just re add you containers in and it uses the same config files as they are stored in your array and not in the docker.img
