Docker for MC24?
Jatzoo:
You can add this shared folder ONLY when creating a container (delete current container and create fresh from images).
Below is simple "step by step" install.
1. Get image from docker-hub ("Pull").
2. Create a new container (Actions "+").
3. Name a container and click "Advance Settings" (don't change "Command" and "Entrypoint").
4. In "Environment" submenu, You don't need to change anything except VNCPASS.
5. In "Network" submenu, if set:
- NAT: You can enter port in "Host" side or leave empty (but then docker assigned ports randomly),
- HOST: Ports are mapped 1:1 from container to Qnap.
6. In "Shared Folders" You map Qnap folders to container folders ("Add"). In example folder "/Audio" is mapped to "/mnt/media" (You must enter that path by yourself).
Jatzoo:
Additional info how to set/works shared folders (reached max attachments for the previous post).
1. Folder "/Audio" is folder from Qnap (for me, it's folder with my music: mp3, flac, etc.).
2. Folder "/mnt/media" is folder from container mapped to folder from Qnap:
a) You must define this path in "Create container" stage 6 in previous post (later it will be impossible),
b) when container will be created, You connect to it by VNC and configure this path as source for media files for JRiver.
PS. Because English is not my native language, please forgive me my mistakes and please change the text as you like.

Thanks a zillion times, Jatzoo!
I always thought that the MC docker thing was a finished "product" that I only needed to install. I didn't realise that I have to create it during the installation process. That makes sense now that I can't create a shared folder. All those youtube videos I watched over the past days didn't point me in that direction.
I'll dig into it tomorrow and think I'll get it work (fingers crossed). English isn't my first language either but your little step by step tutorial helped a lot, propably for some other users too!!
Thanks again and all the best for next year!
JimH:
Thanks, Jatzoo.
Scobie:
Yes great explanation Jatzoo, thanks again for all your work on this.
Grundgütigster, when I mentioned "mount point" (sorry that is linux-speak) I was referring to the "Shared Folder" setting that Jatzoo pointed out in the screenshot. They both mean the same thing, the folder on the NAS that MC points to for its media files.
