jeffreywhunter Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm trying to setup a container that will support a Daemon for Goodsync (file sync system). I've setup several dockers using a template, but never built a template...and specifically not done anything with a simple daemon process. The Goodsync Linux Daemon listens for file backup requests, then saves the files in the appropriate place in the file system. I currently us SMB for backups, but as of 1.6, its not working because of SMB 3.0 issues. To install the daemon, I need to run this file: http://www.goodsync.com/for-linux - I have a 64 bit system. I've seen and read plenty of guides on how to setup a docker from a template, but not on how to build one from scratch. Any suggestions? Goodsync is a nice package that works (has) well for me for years. Nice automation, just runs from a schedule. Thanks in advance for any wisdom... If anyone is looking for a few beers, I'd be happy to commiserate! Quote Link to comment
jeffreywhunter Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Bump. Any takers? Quote Link to comment
bobbintb Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I really don't have anything to add other than the fact that I was also looking at adding Goodsync to UnRAID, although I was going to do so as a plugin instead of a docker. Although a docker might be easier to get running. I'm pretty busy lately so I haven't been able to look at doing it myself but I would be willing to test if you need testers. Quote Link to comment
jeffreywhunter Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'd be interesting in creating the docker, just never done one before... Are you aware of a Docker for dummies? Quote Link to comment
bobbintb Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 No but I'm pretty sure there is stuff in the wiki about it, somewhere. The real issue though, and the reason I initially thought of a plugin instead of docker, is the fact that this is a command line program and I think making a docker would make it difficult to use and manage whereas a plugin would let you create a nice webui to do that. Maybe someone with more docker experience can attest to managing CLI programs with it. However, if the binary isn't compatible with Slackware then docker might be the only way to go.

CHBMB Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If it's a command line program then you'd need to execute into the container to run it... docker exec -it $CONTAINER-NAME /bin/bash Quote Link to comment

I've searched through the forums, I've found lots of help to setup an existing docker template, but nothing on what it takes to create a template. Are you aware of instructions to help noobs learn to create a docker template? Is that something to learn outside of unRaid? Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure what to do with the xml file you setup. Can you point me to instructions on what to do with it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Save it as something like "my-goodsync.xml" within /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user You can then install it either via apps tab (Previously installed), or via Docker - Add Container, Select my-goodsync from the template drop down. * When installing, add a description to the template. After its installed, copy /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/my-goodsync.xml to /boot/config/plugins/community.applications/private/JeffreyWHunter/goodsync.xml - (Creating the folders as necessary) This step will give you more options in the future to manage this app via the apps tab, but adding the description is mandatory for this to happen.
