Onknight Posted March 14, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone, I wanted to thank everyone for their help in getting me up going again especially @IG-88 & @flyride Not that the system is running fairly well I'm looking to expand my knowledge How important is it for me to learn docker right now of everything running on the Synology itself instead of using the container system of doctor Are there any other tools you would recommend I am really enjoying building and tinkering in this new server So far I have the following packages running Home assistant Mono Plex Media Server Python python3 8 and Python 3 SABnzbd Sonarr Wake On LAN Interested any recommendations Edited March 14, 2021 by Onknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted March 14, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2021 Docker appeals to me because it is a non-platform specific implementation of software. So for things like hass, Plex, Sonarr, SABnzbd for example, you can access well-supported releases very quickly. For WOL or VM, these are things that interact directly with DSM or hardware, they should stay as packages (unless you wanted to run ESXi and then you would run VM's side by side with DSM). Mono and Python can go either way, it kind of depends what you are doing with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfds Posted March 14, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 14, 2021 I'm a fan of docker too, a few containers you might find useful are: portainer, ouroboros & heimdall. I also have calibre ebook server & mkvtoolnix running as containers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onknight Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I use portainer software when Played with Open Media Vault @Dfds Have heard of other packages you talked about So would love to hear more Edited March 15, 2021 by Onknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadreel Posted March 15, 2021 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2021 Because I run XPEnology through Unraid as a VM, I find Unraid's docker GUI hard to use therefore most of my software development docker containers like Redis, MySQL, PostgresSQL are installed through DSM's Docker.

Mkvtoolnix is a video conversion tool that I sometimes use to remove foreign language streams from MKV files. The nice thing about running mkvtoolnix & calibre via docker is that they are both updated automatically to the latest version by Ouroboros & I have access to them without needing my PC.

smileyworld Posted March 15, 2021 Share #8 Posted March 15, 2021 At the start I didn't saw the advantage of docker but a few month later I can't imagine running DSM without it. In the screenshot you can see just a few containers I run. The containers with lan- as prefix are for developing websites. One of the biggest pros which got me into docker was pi-hole and lancache. If you would like to know more about those two you can have a look at this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileyworld Posted June 7, 2023 Share #9 Posted June 7, 2023 I just stumbled across this categorized list for Docker containers. If anyone is interested, take a look -> https://mariushosting.com/docker/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
