Any interest in a dockerised MC?

I think, but am not certain, qemu requires an audio backend on the host to enable emulated audio devices.

I'm not sure how you would do pci passthru into a docker. I have done it into my VM, which works great, but I don't know how you'd do it into a docker (or if it's really necessary).

Have you posted on the unraid forums about this?  I'll add to your posts if so.

I think I'll start another thread about running jrmc in an unraid vm just to describe the basic setup. I have sound now at least so can see it works. We can then work out whether it makes sense to package it somehow.

you can bind host devices into a docker (like mapping /dev/snd to /dev/snd) but I'm not sure whether it's possible to get access to the underlying physical device.

Once I have it working here then I can post a more specific question over there.

Running in a VM is different than running in a docker. The VM route requires a host operating system, which I'm trying to avoid in this case.

Let me know if you stay a new thread on the unraid forums and I'll monitor that thread also.

yeah I know but my wife doesn't care about that (this jrmc instance is the physical source of another zone that she is the primary user of), she just needs it working again :)

I had a load of network issues causing general instability earlier but seem to have got on top of that and have a functional setup, I can now start to dig around in docker on the machine. I'll post here once I start a thread over there.
