Docker containers and external servers


Recommended Posts

I'm having a lot of trouble getting certain containers to work.  I have unRAID on one machine, and Plex and Deluge on different machines.

 

When I try to install containers like PlexPy, it asks for the location of the Plex log files.  On the Plex machine, I shared the log folder, and on unRAID I created a SMB share for that location. I install the container, and point the location of the log files to the SMB share I created.  This doesn't work, as the PlexPy docker log is filled with I/O errors.  If I change the log file location to a dummy location on the unRAID server, the container does start up properly.

 

How can I use containers when the data they need is located outside of the unRAID server?  Do I need to reconfigure all my other programs to use shares on unRAID instead of local locations for this to work?
