Docker Apps with Electric Eel

BTW, with the stable version I decided to give it a try and using dockge worked well for me on adapting my ansible generated docker compose containers without any UI interaction.

There’s some small changes like having to create my own docker user and skipping the package management but then it works as long as I drop the compose files in the stacks dataset. Hopefully some day that will be supported by default, I definitely think the apps format will over time change a bit as it’s not necessary for it to be as convoluted anymore.

This is the thread that definitely saved my bacon. I was struggling to install the Linkwarden docker through the Truenas “Custom App” menu but Dockge definitely made it all happen exactly as intended.

@Stux, thanks a bunch for your very clear and concise video. Only thing I did against your advice was install Dockge with TrueNAS automatically creating the data sets for the Stacks and Data storage points. Figured I’d take a chance in the general release version of Electric Eel and it paid off. :slight_smile:

I tried the same, I can successfully connect via the remote-ssh extension, but then in the docker extension it says “failed to connect”. Docker is running though, but I think the docker context is not setup correctly:

I searched for the process on the truenas machine and found

 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock

so I tried to create a new docker context using

host=unix:///run/containerd/containerd.sock 

but no luck as well. Could you show me your docker context?

Makes it much more difficult to use the command line and backup your stacks :wink:

But the issue with iXVolumes not working has been fixed.

It’s not that painful. I’m managing it well. :slight_smile:

Exact same as yours.
Did you check “Allow TCP Port Forwarding” in System / Services / SSH ?

Yes I did, weird.

One thing that could be different, I’m connecting using root.
