Docker for MC24?
RvdZ:
@Jatzoo:
I'm using your Docker on my Qnap too. It's working great.
But I have the following problem:
I connect to the server with TighVNCViewer, for configuring JRiver. In some screens there is no OK or Cancel button and there is also no X-icon in the upper-right corner. In these cases, I don't know how to get back in the previous screen. The only thing I can do is restart the Docker.
This happens for example in the screen: Help - About Media Center. (this is no big deal).
But it also happens when configuring DSP Studio for the DLNA Server, and some other screens.
I think this changed somewhere during MC24. In the early versions, there was an X-icon in the upper corner, and everything worked fine.
Do you know how to fix this? Or is there some keyboard shortcut to close these screens?

Also curious as to the memory usage and performance for the Dockerised MC24 on the QNAP?
I have it running as a VM and works really well but can get resource hungry, especially as my QNAP can only have 8G memory.
Cheers

Would love to try this but new to Docker so...
If I search on the QNAP Container Station it finds the jatzoo/jrivermc24 image and I can download it. According to logs it seems to be the Data container.
However on Dockerhub you mention I need 2 containers, Apps and Data; how do i go about getting the Apps container?
Thanks
Scobie

Hi Scobie - I have 8GB ram on my QNAP and it works well (although I haven't really tested it with video much). There's only one version on Docker Hub, which is the one I use. I don't use a separate data container - I just access a shared folder on the QNAP to store media, backup library etc. Hope that helps. I also used a VM for a long time - this is much more reliable and uses less resources.

I don't know how to fix this (and whether it is a problem with MC or with Docker).
I do exactly the same as You - just restart the docker.
@Scobie
On my Qnap, memory usage is 3% (from 8GB) and CPU 0-1% (use MC only for audio). In comparison to VM, dockerized version use very, very, very small resources. If it's still too much, You can set limits for memory and cpu from Container Stations.
Image is only one and common to create data or/and app container. If You create data container, it will be the place for all configuration files for MC24 (/home/jriver/.jriver - library settings, custom views, etc.). So, if You delete app container and install another app container with different version of MC (for example with beta not latest release), all Your previous settings will be taken from data container. Without data container You must configure MC every time You create new app container.
