Dear Jatzoo, other knowledgeable folks on the topic
Many thanks for your detailed instructions on installing JRiver in docker. I have managed to install.
However I am not able to get inside JRiver to complete the settings. I have tried realvnc viewer, tightvnc and putty.
I had pointed it to port 32769 on the IP address of the QNAP NAS which was the port assigned during set up. I get a message "connection closed unexpectedly" or "connection gracefully closed" (tightVNC!).
Is it some settings in QNAP that is preventing this access?

Will be grateful for your advice
Further, wanted to check what is the reason that when you access the port you are led to the MC panel, not the standard MC interfacet that you see on Windows. If one were to land there, there is no need for a VNC server to do the settings. For example, I have seen the way SongKong has created their docker image, which when I followed the step by step instructions and you go to port number 4567, you see exactly the same screens as you would see on a Windows desktop. It was done in 5 mins! There was no need for any VNC etc to do the settings and didnt need any other knowledge. Any of you can check it out here.

The option of keeping a PC running all the time with MC on is not working out for me and since the NAS runs all the time, this way I would be able to access it as a player also. Else I am only able to use it for editing, music management etc but not really for playng. I end up using minimserver and bubbleupnp to stream it to my ethernet DAC.
