Ability to group Docker Containers

 

So that

• I can start or stop them all at once - my primary desire
  • ex: When working with media content, I may want to open a download docker, file renamer, file manager, ...
  • ex: Maybe I'm testing some things working together and want to keep them together
• <maybe but not too important> so that I can update them all at once
• <maybe but not too important> so that I can clean up a large list of dockers

A GUI function for this would be great, I would definitely use it, specifically to help with start and stop routines. I have certain groups of containers that are dependent on others.

 

However, for right now, it's easy to set groups up manually using scripts, which can be handily dealt with in the user scripts plugin.

 

Here's a ferintstance. You could save this as a script to start a media gather operation. Save another script substituting docker stop <container> to shut them all down again with one click. If you really want to get fancy, you can link a script to an icon in your OS, by using plink.

Here's a windows command to launch a script saved in the user scripts plugin in your unraid. Assumes you have putty installed.

c:\<path to putty>\plink -pw <password> root@<unraid ip> /boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts/<nameofscript>/script

 

#!/bin/bash
docker start binhex-nzbget
docker start binhex-delugevpn
sleep 30
docker start binhex-sonarr
docker start binhex-radarr

 

Thanks jonathanm !  I'll stick with my request for (yes, as you better clarify) a GUI feature.  I don't really want this enough to create scripts yet...but now I know how I could approach it.

+1 for this request.

+1 - Starting to use more and more dockers and the GUI is getting a bit messy to manage. A way of grouping 'related' Dockers would be great.

now i know what this plugin for, I think it should be renamed to something like "Docker Groups" or something that implies the function.

Oh wow, amazing. Didn't know this existed - exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Squid to the rescue again.
