Job Opportunity - Need someone to help build a docker for GoodSync

I've been using Shrmns Docker for years (actually started this post a several years ago).  I have 1 license of Goodsync on my local PC.  There is no cost for Goodsync for Linux and the necessary Goodsync Connect account (the Linux side of the backup conversation).  You can learn more about Goodsync for Linux here: https://www.goodsync.com/for-linux  The goodsync connect account (https://www.goodsync.com/goodsync-connect) is required to make it work.  Once the docker is installed and configured it "just works".  The original Instructions are pretty clear.  Valid GoodSync Connect account required.  The WebUI credentials are the same as your GoodSync Connect account credentials that you set as GS_USER and GS_PWD.  These are NOT the same as your goodsync connect credentials.

 

Interestingly enough, you can actually use Goodsync Connect as a private cloud from any device, although I've not tried that...

 

That said, the GoodSync Connect Server docker was originally created by Shrmn, but last updated May 2019.  It currently has a problem with a version issue which causes a bogus error in the log (Apr 19 10:02:55 HunterNAS kernel: netlink: 4 bytes leftover after parsing attributes in process `gs-server'.), this accumulates over time and eventually causes the server to crash.  I've posted the question to the github support, but its not been updated.

 

While the goodsync connect works REALLY well and is very fast, I've fallen back to the SMB connection into Unraid via shares.  Works well enough.  Disappointed, because Goodsync for Linux works really well...except for filling the log.  And the issue isn't with Goodsync, it is (according to Goodsync support) related to Linux and not GoodSync.  Linux - netlink: 4 bytes leftover after parsing attributes in process needs to be addressed in the OS/docker somewhere.


Goodsync connect instructions:

https://help.goodsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007572092-Server-Advanced-Options-demystified-

 

Again, all that said, SMB works well enough.  Unless we can find someone who knows how to create (and support!) a docker, we're stuck.  Per my original post (and that still stands), I'd love to see a group of us come together and support someone...supporting this docker...

interestingly the only error I get in my updated docker version is

 

"gs-server: ===== UDP packets from Mediator not received, so connecting to this Server will be slow ====="

 

(GoodSync (R) Ver 11.10.7.7 OS: Linux-Debian stretch/sid)

 

Because I block the mediator at my firewall.

Been using shrmn/gsdock for years without issue, I did not realise there was another repo?

 

Yes had been using flubsters repo since shrmn/gsdock had this bug (https://github.com/shrmnk/gsdock/issues/93). I was not able to activate my account. Now flubster has a very old version of gsdock.

 

Hence I have crated my own docker "sonnyck/gsdock" just replace this in the repo and then let it update. The image is the most recent one released by GoodSync.
