Docker Container for JRiver Media Center 26
NH:
I have version 25 and am using QNAP TS 253A. I have the docker image installed in the container station.
I am missing a step by step guide to be able to successfully install it and get it running.
I have installed a music tagging software SongKong in the docker station which came with very detailed instructions (a screenshot and instructions for every step) and it worked seamlessly. Have attached that link as an example (http://www.jthink.net/songkong/install_docker_qnap.jsp)
Will be very grateful if someone could take the trouble of sharing such instructions. Will make a big difference in that I can have our favorite MC running all the time on the NAS and operate it remotely.
Many thanks in advance.

This should give you everything you need for successful installation.

I'd like to do the container station set up for QNAP. How do I reference the git location of jrivermc26 or 27 and then can I do host networkig and still access from outside with port forwarding? I'm likely going to have problems with setting up my music folder but I'll work on that after I get the basics done.
I'll also be doing JRemote and possibly House Band. I was easily running this on my MAc Server but I've been having problems with it for a while (After Catalina 10.14).
I'll also want to stream to my OPPO UDP-205 via DLNA I believe.
I have an instance of jrivermc26 docker running and on the NAS I can get to a GUI but it doesn't find my Library and I haven't tried accessing from JRiver or externally since I had ports forwarded (House Band anyway) to my MAC.
Thanks for any help.

I'm afraid I cannot help you with QNAP specific issues. However, I would assume that Docker itself functions the same on a QNAP and a Synology. If that is the case, you can bring up the container and then add/set up all the environment variables (user ids, shared folders etc. ) in Docker. I am very new at this but with Max's help I was able to get it running perfectly on my Synology Docker. If you take the information from Max's write up ( https://hub.docker.com/r/shiomax/jrivermc26 ) you should be able to get everything set up properly from within Docker.

If you're able to connect internally it sounds like you're just about there, and the only thing left to do is sort networking.
I have my Container Network mode set to Bridge and use a static IP to set a unique address for the MC instance on my network. Once it is in this state, MC is behaving no differently to how it would on a physical host on your internal network. If you use DLNA quite a bit in your setup you might want to use DHCP instead, and reserve the address for MC to use. DLNA often works better that way but I find it makes no difference in my setup so leave it at static. Pretty simple, have attached a screenshot.
Only thing to remember is to also add a Mac Address as noted in this thread, I've scrubbed mine out in the screenshot.
Just remember as well to back your library up before making a change to a container setting, as it will most likely cause the image to generate a new container.
To access MC from outside your network you either need to configure port forwarding on your router, or possibly DDNS from within the QNAP.
I use port forwarding, and configure anything coming in on port 5800 to go to the IP Address I configured in my Container Station setup. Similarly for JRemote I configure port 52199.

Many thanks for this lead. I tried this out. Here the address becomes in my case x.x.x.x:52199.
However I am not able to get into via VNC. Get a message "connection closed unexpectedly". Dont know if its a QNAP issue or a docker image issue. So for me whether I use host or NAT or bridge as network options, there is no difference.
I also read on a QNAP forum that you need to change the color settings in VNC, which also I tried.
I also read somewhere that you need to use the password jriver. I havent managed to get to that screen only.
Would you have any advice? Many thanks in advance.
