[Support] Djoss - MKVToolNix

[deaerator]

Still having the same Error

 

[Djoss]

Can you look at permissions inside the container?

[deaerator]

how do you check to see if /storage is correct for permissions

 

[Djoss]

Connect to your unRAID server via ssh and run the following command to login into container.

docker exec -ti MKVToolNix sh

Then you can check permissions as usual:

ls -l /
ls -l /storage

And also look the directory where you save the video.

[deaerator]

Everything looks the same as before. 

 

[Djoss]

From the container, are you able to create a file?

touch /storage/MKVToolNix-Output

(assuming this is where you save your videos from the application)

[Djoss]

I meant:

touch /storage/MKVToolNix-Output/testfile

 

[deaerator]

"touch: /storage/MKVToolNix-Output/testfile: Read-only file system"
 

[Djoss]

Looks like your /storage volume is read only...  To confirm, you can see the content of the template by running this command on unRAID:

cat /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/my-MKVToolNix.xml

Did you installed the container via the Community Applications plugin?

 

[deaerator]

My Bad completely.

 

When you first uploaded your container I used that template via Community App page. 

And when It didn't work I just kept on using the template that was saved through unraid.

 

I did a fresh install using the Community Applications and voila!

 

It works now.

Great, happy to know that it's working

I am accessing the Docker by remote desktop and the keyboard repeat does not work when a key is held down.  Is this an issue with this Docker, or all Dockers?

[Djoss]

Currently, this is the expected behavior.  The x11vnc server running inside the container automatically disables key autorepeat to work around common problems.

 

This default behavior can be changed however.  So let me know if you think it's something important to you.  I could add the ability to pass extra parameters to x11vnc (via an environment variable).

It would be a nice feature, but I'm not sure it's worth it if it creates problems.

In the latest version, there is a new setting to pass custom options to x11vnc.  Try to add the following one:

-repeat

This enables key autorepeat.  You can test and see if it creates any problem for you (like duplicated characters during normal typing).

Seems to work just fine.

Container is running and i can log in from webui but i cant login from terminal?

 

root@Tower:/# docker inspect --format="{{ .State.Running }}" MKVToolNix
true
root@Tower:/# docker exec -ti MKVToolNix /bin/bash
rpc error: code = 2 desc = containerd: container not started

 

[Djoss]

You need to use sh:

docker exec -ti MKVToolNix sh

this  requires lots of editing on my scripts.

[Djoss]

You could add a wrapper to your script that installs bash if needed:

apk --no-cache add bash

Thanks that really helped.

But if you can add bash and curl to the container i will be appriciated. Or is there any proper and easy way to add bash and curl to my container that can survive container update?

[Djoss]

I don't want to add packages that are not needed, because it increases uselessly the size of the image. And I guess that each user could have its own package preferences...

 

However, if you check and install any missing packages yourself, you don't need to worry about container updates.  And this add just a little overhead.

 

You can have something like this:

REQUIRED_PKG="bash curl"
for PKG in $REQUIRED_PKG; do
    if ! apk info 2>/dev/null | grep -qw $PKG; then
        apk --no-cache add $PKG
    fi
done

Thanks for posting this. I updated my docker-shell script:
  https://gist.github.com/ljm42/2b3bfd8ff886015bbce8 
to work with your containers. First it tries:

docker exec -it <name> bash

and it that fails it tries:

docker exec -it <name> sh

 

[dockerstarter]

Very nicely done!

I love the way you handle your docker container.

One thing that i really miss is the abilty to change to my native language. Could you add language support for your containers ?

 

I am not able to select the language for mkvtoolnix from the settings. The menu entry is empty.

 

 

best regards

I'm looking into this.
