Docker for MC24?
elvanor:
In fact, I just thought that if I can send MC output to a pulseaudio server running on the NAS, it will work. Has someone already tried that?

Hi MC-with-Docker-on-a-QNAP-users,
I really really would love this thing to work, but failed big. I obviously don't have the brains for it.
I have a working QNAP NAS and I'm sure I was able to install Docker and also the MC 24 package from jatzoo/jrivermc24. I attach a screenshot of my MC package, running in my Docker app.
So, what do I have to do now? I propably need a step-by-step help, as I'm not familiar to Linux or the like. I tried some of the console commands I found, but they did not do anything as far as I can tell. If this is too much to ask, don't worry, I guess I have to wait until a QNAP version of MC comes out (hopefully).
Thanks for reading!

It won't. They already did it a few years ago, it didn't work out, so I wouldn't hold my breath on JRiver again developing MC for NASes like QNAP or Synology. It'd be a waste of time and resources with the same thing(s) that happened last time happening again.
If you didn't need video (e.g. an audio-only setup) you probably could add a Raspberry Pi or JRiver Id (or Id Pi) running MC to the NAS and use that with it.

Thanks Awesome Donkey!
I remember tht QNAP versions which, as far as I remember, needed a virtual machine running. In fact that was the reason for me to choose a QNAP over a Synology. But I couldn't get it running (too). There are music and video solutions out there which work fine on NASses, so I thought to add that little subclause in my cry for help in the hope to scratch a little concrete off of that wall...
I do not want to add another thingy to my NAS, so I would love to find out how to get the Docker solution running.
Happy and prosperous new year to everyone!

Sometimes it's unavoidable. That, and running MC on a NAS via Docker would technically be considered "unsupported" AND there's no guarantee somebody will update the Docker container. Does MC24 via Docker even run the latest build? Never checked.
I have a NAS too and instead of trying to mess with installing a Docker container and all that, I just added a small Raspberry Pi and connected the NAS to it since (at least right now) I'm audio only and it works perfectly. With MC running on the Pi with the NAS connected, I can use it 24/7 with any device in my house and it's rather nice that way. In addition I don't have to connect the Raspberry Pi to a monitor or TV either, I just use RealVNC to remote access it, maintain it, update it, etc. The Pi is so small, that hiding it is pretty easy.
