Idiots guide to installing a docker image for JRiver on Synology NAS

(1/2) > >>

Irtelli:
Hi there,
Being a massive noob, I've been struggling to get JRiver (shiomax/jrivermc27/latest) running through a Docker container on my Synology 920+ NAS.
1. I've got the container up and running but how do I get the web GUI to show?
2. It says you should use docker-compose. How do I get this to run? And isn't the container already mostly configured with the correct settings?
I've been trwaling the forums here but feel that there's a lot of people that are an extra step ahead of any solution that would be useful at my stage of the learning curve.
Thanks in advance for your patience! :-)

There is a Docker thread here:

I've now repeated my post in that thread; let's see if it doesn't get lost...

I am using this docker-compose.yml

--- Code: ---version: '3'
services:
  jrivermc27:
    image: shiomax/jrivermc27
    restart: always
    container_name: jrivermc27
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - VNC_PASSWORD=<choose your own>
      - USER_ID-1026
      - GROUP_ID=101
      - DISPLAY_WIDTH=2560
      - DISPLAY_HEIGHT=1440
      - TZ=America/New_York
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/MC27/config:/config:rw
      - /volume1/music:/data/music:rw
      - /volume1/docker/MC27/data/Library:/data/Library:rw

--- End code ---
It assumes the following:
1) You have a /volume1 on your NAS
2) You have a folder called "docker" on /volume1
3) You have a folder called "MC27" in /volume1/docker
4) You have a folder called "config" in /volume1/docker/MC27
5) Your media files are located in the folder called "music" on /volume1
6) You have a folder called "data" in /volume1/docker/MC27
7) You have a folder called "Library" in /volume1/docker/MC27/data

You need to replace the USER_ID and GROUP_ID with the values correct for your system. Ditto with the DISPLAY_WIDTH and DISPLAY_HEIGHT (mine are for a 27" iMac). Similarly, if you are not located on the East Coast of the US, replace the value with the correct one.
After you start the container, you can access the GUI on <NAS IP-address>:5800. If you have set up a DDNS hostname for your NAS you can also use <NAS-hostname.local>:5800 to get to the GUI.

I also recommend looking into Portainer. It's another Docker container that lets you easily control/maintain/back-up your docker containers. I use it mainly to update my containers when needed and it takes only a minute.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: I want to mention that without Max's help I would not have been able to do this, as I am pretty n00b myself.

Irtelli:
Thanks for taking the time to forward your own process, HaWi, it's really appreciated.
I managed to get the GUI running in a seperate broswer window and import my music via a Drive Client sync before you replied. However, JRemote sees the music but won't play it. Hopefully your method will be a vast improvement and will get everything working!
Now I'm going to take myself off and work out how to run docker-compose...
Thanks again.  :)
