Hello, i feel like my unraid build is stable now and i am ready to dive into moving some functional wms over to dockers and try it out but the problem is i deleted the default system shares and i am unsure how to setup these things properly.

 

Here are my questions:

 

1. Does VM Manager have to be enabled to use docker?

2. The default setting for docker.img seem to be /mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img , is it not best to put this on cache? If so what should my docker settings be?

 

Anything else i should think about?

No, just for VMs

That will be on cache if cache is assigned, but I do recommend using /mnt/cache instead, so it doesn't get recreated on the array if cache is missing in the future.

As i understand it /mnt/user/system/ would be on the cache too, but not actually moved when mover works? If i put it on /mnt/cache/ won't files be moved when the mover runs?

By default system share is set to cache prefer, so it would only be moved from the array to cache if cache didn't exist when created and was added later, it would never be moved from cache to array.
