My point in counter was simply that Docker doesn't force the same level of sacrifice (not even close) as an apt-get method would when both are compared to VMs. With apt-get, your are trading out that control for chroot which still isn't perfect and puts back the OS limits. My point was that running a single headless app (like Sickbeard) inside a VM is technically a waste of resources because there is a viable alternative (Docker) that makes it easier to install, consumes less resources, but doesn't force you to give up the benefit of application isolation or OS independence. I appreciate the effort that LimeTech has put forth in these areas. It's a good thing that unRAID allows the choice of such up to each individual user. I'm not going to get into the discussion as to merits of VMs vs Dockers vs Plugins vs Packages again.
#Unraid plugins and dockers full
Apt-get ain't got nothing on my point was throwing out such dismissive statements as that isn't the full picture. All from an OS that is ~ 90mb compressed.
#Unraid plugins and dockers install
With Docker and VMs we can install any app from any OS, control its access to system resources like memory and CPU (far easier and better than native apps), we can keep applications running in isolated operating environments preventing software conflicts due to things like dependencies, we can increase the ease of installing a wider array of apps, and if we want advanced capabilities with hardware, we can use VMs with PCI pass through to supply drivers for that hardware independent of our OS. If unraid had a base OS with a package manager and community support like ubuntu or debian, then running a docker is more trouble than doing "apt-get packagename".īut doing apt-get is more risky and more limiting than docker or vms.īy using apps in the native OS, you can have software dependency conflicts and you are limited to app selection made available within that particular distro. The same can be said for running dockers on top of an OS. Running a VM on top of unRAID just to run something like Sickbeard is a total waste of time and resources.Ĭareful with statements like these.

You PC might have a directory called M: which more or less appears to be a local drive, but it's really just a link to the Movies share on your server. It's like a smaller version of you mapping a server share on your PC and then having an application on your PC use the mapped drive. So, if you save that directory setup data you can just point a re-installed docker at the data and restore whatever you had before. So, you have a docker which runs to perform the task with the setup data stored in a directory on the server. You can map more directories for the output from the docker if that is required. You map a directory on the server into the Docker and the application will save the settings into this directory.

Well, I suppose you could build a docker with all the setup hard coded inside, but then it can't be shared or used with anyone else. You don't have a Docker file you can save with the setup. I don't think there is much advantage processor wise for either. Plug-ins are lightest, but conflicting dependencies will block/break others. They take a lot of resources, because they run a whole OS.ĭockers are lighter since they re-use the OS, but bundle all the dependencies. But that's MY CONCEPT of a docker- which may be wrong! I say all that to convey my level/lack of expertise and to frame my question.Ĭonclusion- based on two particularly relevant responses:

(The thought that I could simply restore a single file and revert to a working setup- is VERY appealing.
#Unraid plugins and dockers upgrade
I like my concept of a docker- which is a single 'file' that I could, in theory, COPY/BACK-UP to preserve a running app eful for those times when I've just exploded a working setup either by upgrade or stupidity. I'm not one to experiment with my setup once it's running, so I prefer the option which will result in the least maintenance and the easiest repair. As a docker, all the programs start fine on the first attempt.

I've pieced together a test server to audition the new v6 betas, and have been playing with dockers AND plugins for my BIG3 (sabnzbd/sickbeard/PLEX).and I've also been looking at Sonarr and nzbget.įirst thing I noticed- my sickbeard plugin doesn't seem to want to start automatically- which is what ultimately led me to try dockers & Sonarr.
