Can someone tell me how to set additional flags in the web UI for docker containers that go after the run.

 

An example I am trying to run is this:

 

docker run -d --name ethereum-node -v /Users/alice/ethereum:/root \
           -p 8545:8545 -p 30303:30303 \
           ethereum/client-go --fast --cache=512

However, when I add them to the extra parameters option in the web UI it looks like it tries to run them before the container. I receive this error when attempting to put them in the extra parameters field.

 

root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="ethereum-node" --net="host" -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e "TCP_PORT_8545"="8545" -e "TCP_PORT_30303"="30303" -v "/mnt/user/perm/docker_apps/ethereum-node/":"/root":rw "--cache=512" ethereum/client-go

unknown flag: --cache
See 'docker run --help'.

The command failed.

 

So it looks like the extra parameter feild seems to set it before hand not after like I need it.

--cache is not an option which you can include with the docker run command. See here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#options for the available options.

 

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. What I am trying to say is how do you set additional options via the webui that you would need to run after the container. Like they have in the example. 

 

How would I pass the bolded parameters to the container from the webUI. 

ethereum/client-go --fast --cache=512

You can't.

 

As a workaround, try placing the options at the end of the repository field.

Thanks. That worked.

Yeah, sort of. You will need to remove those additions to successfully pull an update, then put them back when you are done.

 

I'm not happy with the workaround, but it is what it is.

found how to do it

go to your docker, advanced view and add the flag in extra parameters

Because you were following advice that was valid over 2 years ago, and has since been superseded by a proper implementation.
