But I only have it installed on my PC. It does nightly backups (one-way sync) of documents and other personal files to my Unraid server. As for backing up my server, I am currently just doing an rsync script of the important shares to externals for storage offsite. What advantage would there be for me to have GoodSync on my Unraid server? That docker I linked before should work fine on Unraid but I haven't bothered to figure out how to set it up yet since I don't know why I need it.

That docker I linked before should work fine on Unraid but I haven't bothered to figure out how to set it up yet since I don't know why I need it. I use Goodsync running on my VM to download sonarr & radarr files from my seedbox and also to backup all my files to my Google Drive (Unlimited) I run a WIN10 VM at the moment to run Goodsync but would love to have a GUI Driven docker as this is all the VM does!
March 5, 20197 yr So the server and commandline linux is no problem at all. But you wish to have the Windows GUI as a docker? Does Goodsync works with the Mono framework. I dont think that it makes sence to create a docker with Mono and NoVNC for this. I would use the server docker and use the commandline or Windows Client for configuration etc. Cheers
March 5, 20197 yr Maybe I misunderstood the docker or you? Can I connect to the server docker via a Windows Client and control it?
March 6, 20197 yr Quote Open GoodSync or GsExplorer on macOS/Windows/Mobile, enter credentials for GoodSync Connect - all containers/servers running under this account should be visible and allow file transfer and sync. So that was my understanding that you can control every instance with the client. Maybe you give it a try, I hope I did understand it corretly. If server/client is not your style maybe try gscp but thats no GUI 😞 https://www.goodsync.com/for-linux
March 6, 20197 yr Unfortunately the docker doesn't seem to be a gui for goodsync as such, to be honest I am not sure what it does but I cannot find a way for me to backup my shares using it even.
March 6, 20197 yr No it's the Server gui connect to gs connect and the Windows Client as well you should than see the Server in the Windows Client and setup New Backups from it. Thats my Info. The other possibility is to use a docker with gs command line and create a Backup there but this is advanced Cheers
July 16, 20205 yr So, I didn't realize this before but this docker also has the CLI client, not just Connect. That's what I really need. For those that want a gui, there might be a way to use the Windows version, make your jobs and such, export them, and import into the Linux client. I'll be messing with that soon.

It does have a web interface to configure the server. I'm note sure if you can setup jobs using the command line. I haven't tried it yet. I've been using the GSDocker using Goodsync connect. Its been flawless and has not had any problems with Goodsync updates so either its very well designed and kept up to date, or the GoodSync Connect protocol isn't changing. I use GoodSync on Windows 10. Works really well...

I am trying to create my jobs in the Windows version and export them to the docker. Edited July 17, 20205 yr by bobbintb

September 3, 20205 yr Hey has anyone tried updating the goodsync docker to the latest version? The one in apps is an older version and according to the release notes it should auto update. 11.3.2 is on the website, but 10.9.32.2 is what is within the docker.

Perhaps we should ask the developer of the system?

September 11, 20205 yr The author changed the github, but didn't push to dockerhub to rebuild the image. After manually updating the container I noticed on 11.3.3.2 (possibly 11+) that for it to register - I needed to create a folder mapping to container path /etc/goodsync/ as it appears the license is mapped here not where it was before.

Rubberbandboy So you've successfully updated by manually uninstalling the Docker and Reinstalling from scratch (plus adding the new container path)?

Nope, i forked the repository and updated the version. (To use my version) edit your docker and change your repository to flubster/gsdock and it'll pull my updated version You'll need to add the mapping i stated above as i haven't created any UnRAID template, just pushed another docker image. YMMV. Be careful as I started from scratch (after pulling the initial image from the template) so haven't tried any upgrades etc Rubberbandboy

I need to learn how to do this myself.

Any chance you or someone else here is willing to maintain this at least semi-officially over time? I'm using Duplicacy, which is great, but I have a GS license and I feel more comfortable with the flexibility of GS (I am using the Duplicacy web gui which is sparse) and being able to access my backup files (I'm really using that, not actual sync) outside of the app (vs snapshots) in a crisis.

Was just pulling my hair out trying to activate the old docker with version 10 to no avail. You are a lifesaver!
April 16, 20215 yr Hi, maybe a stupid question and only partly related. Do i need one or two licences? Unraid is supposed to do all the stuff. Another PC would only be used to "manage" the unraid goodsync server. Best Regards Christian

Unfortunately, I get that permissions error with the v10 docker. So I have v11 docker server and 2 machines with v10. I'm not sure how to get the licensing sorted out because I get a licensing error syncing.
July 4, 20215 yr Hi , i'm new to unraid and i'm stick with goodsync too. I have 1 linux nas V10 licence and 1 V10 windows and I don't know how to make it work.
