[Solved] Can't Shell Into Container

[brando56894]

Since I couldn't find a supported nzbget container which has nzbToMedia in it, I decided to use the one from frebib/nzbget-media and I have it imported and it runs correctly. The problem is that when I try to get a bash shell in it, Docker tells me it isn't running when it clearly is. This seems to be localized to this container because I was able to pull up a shell in the nzbHydra container that I installed via unRAID.

 

root@Tower:~# docker ps
CONTAINER ID     IMAGE                       COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                NAMES
390878bc4111       frebib/nzbget-media     "/sbin/tini -- /start"   11 minutes ago      Up 10 minutes       0.0.0.0:6789->6789/tcp        nzbget

 

root@Tower:~# docker exec -it nzbget /bin/bash
rpc error: code = 2 desc = containerd: container not started

 

What's the issue here?

Still looking at this, but regardless this isn't going to be suitable for Unraid as it runs with a non-definable UID of 236 so you'll be plagued with permissions errors.

Yea that was my next thing to tackle. I'm probably going to modify the Dockerfile so that it will work without issue, otherwise there's another one by kahooli that has nzbToMedia in it, but this one was more up to date. Kahooli's is based off of LinuxServer.io's image so that would probably work better. Here it is: https://hub.docker.com/r/kahooli/nzbget-postprocess/

So I asked the docker guru @sparklyballs this one,

 

TL:DR if you want bash in an Alpine container, it has to be installed.  Our containers install it in our custom base image.

 

docker exec -it nzbget /bin/sh

 

Works with that container of yours.
