Are there standard shares that are supposed to be auto-created? Where would I see them?

I see in the release notes that for Version 6.2.0-rc2 there was a note that "correct logic auto-creating the shares: appdata,domains,isos,system". That leads me to think that some shares are supposed to be created automatically. The only shares I see are the user shares that I created.

I was trying to enable docker, but I don't have a share for appdata. Is that share supposed to exist or do I manually create it? What other shares am I missing?

There were some auto-created on new installs. If you are running an older install that you have upgraded in the normal way then they might not be, I'm not sure. I don't have some of those, but I don't have VMs turned on.

 

Have you actually enabled docker? If so, was there some problem? You should be able to tell it where to put docker.img, and create an appdata share yourself. That is what I did a long time ago before there were any "automatic, system" shares.

I enabled docker, but it is saying that /mnt/cache/appdata does not exist. I haven't created an appdata share myself, because the instructions I read and videos I viewed all referenced an existing appdata share. I did upgrade from an older version, so the shares may have not been generated.

I created appdata share manually, set as cache preferred. Docker is enabled. I assume all is well. Is there a simple docker container to try out first?

Within settings, docker, (advanced), set the default appdata path to your share, to make your life easier

 

Simple containers to see if stuff works? (with minimal changes to the templates) : cAdvisor will probably work with no adjustments necessary.  or Dolphin is already set up properly, and just needs you to set a host port on the template.
