Any interest in a dockerised MC?
JustinChase:
For what it's worth, the upgrade process is pretty smooth, and once you get on a current build, it's honestly as easy as pressing a button to upgrade from now on. Plus, the latest is very nice and useful. (i.e. it's worth your effort to upgrade)

I upgraded to unraid6 earlier today, 2 problems are immediately obvious
1) they don't appear to include any sort of audio support in their kernel
2) the docs around creating a docker container that fits into their world view aren't obviously in existence
Frankly 2 is pretty much a deal breaker for me, not going to waste my life trying to work out how some niche vendor wants to repackage something. I will still be intending to get something running on my machine, I will post how I do that (and if it can be easily repackaged then I will post that here).
JustinChase:
I'm surprised there's no audio in the kernel, I've never seen any complaints of that, and I know LOTS of folks are using unRAID to host their various audio solutions. With that said, if you really can't get what you need working audio-wise, the devs of unRAID are almost as responsive as jriver, so I know it could be added for you in the next release.
As for creating a Docker, perhaps this will help...

I've never created one myself, but I'm willing to help with whatever I can to help you get one created. Please let me know what, if anything I can do to help, and I'll do my best.
mattkhan:
all of the existing docker templates are server apps and the VM support focuses on passing through physical devices (mainly GPUs) to handle audio and video. A user has confirmed there is no native audio support unless you roll your own kernel (see http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45180.msg431325#msg431325) and there is someone who maintains some "mediabuild" kernels that include some other drivers (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40705.0) which seems likely to bring alsa in but I'll have to take a look at that.
I will ask if they intend to include alsa in future, it baffles me that they continue to use slackware tbh, quite odd.

I've been digging further, I think pci device passthrough is the only way you can get audio out of a standard unraid build atm and that means you need VT-d support on your mobo (I do, I suspect you do too judging from a few posts of yours I saw over there). I think, but am not certain, qemu requires an audio backend on the host to enable emulated audio devices.
