Struggling.. What am I missing

[neruve]

Okay, so I'm new to most of this. But I've been working on creating a custom docker image. I have a Dockerfile that works and builds the image just from a base ubuntu image. Now that I have this Dockerfile that works. How can I use it in a template so the unraid GUI can manage/control it. I've tried dockerhub and I don't understand. 

 

Is it really not as simple as putting the Dockerfile somewhere and letting unraid do it's thing.... What am I missing. Why is this proving to be so hard. I would have thought building the Dockerfile would have been the hard part

 

Please someone, give me some guidance. Dockerhub seems to want to actually build the image. But I don't want that. I want it to work just like every other image I've got so far, you can literally see it doing to build on screen in the gui. But I can't figure out how to tell it where the dockerfile is in the template as it seems to need a repository.

You effectively have to publish onto dockerHub.  Otherwise you're going to be stuck using docker build commands locally and managing via the command line.

Is there a way to only publish the Dockerfile to Docker hub? Basically, after it does all it does its a large container. but the stuff to download isn't that large. So just because the container is 1-2gb there is no reason to pull it all from that as the data is generated by the install.

Put it this way.

 

If someone told me that either you publish your own container or die, the wife would be trying to forge my signature on a will
