Some good explanations of Container Manager on YouTube. As a newby, I found this the easiest to follow. Thanks Lon.

Thanks Lon …. You always provide interesting Synology and Plex topics!

I have a QNAP NAS, but your video makes me want to try Docker out for myself. I think the process might be fairly similar. Thanks for the how-to! ~Frank

I think if the image was identified as wallabag/wallabag:latest in your compose file, when you run a rebuild it would pull the new image. I think the latest is pulled if no version of specified but then no updates would be made since 'a' version is already present. I haven't used docker on Synology though, just docker suite running on Ubuntu. But great timing, my father has a synology nas and there are some things I can immediately think of that could be installed as docker containers that would automate things he does manually or replace more cumbersome applications he uses. I think this will be a great ref for him. I, and my father, also have found your ATSC3 tuner series very interesting as he's thinking of trying to pick up local HD/4k broadcasts and you spell it all out along with some good things to look out for (like antenna height and tree cover.)

I was really encouraged to see your video Lon. But, after watching you edit that yaml file, I pretty much gave up hope. For far too many of us that don't have the knowledge that you and many of your commenters have, far too many Docker apps will remain out of reach. I do appreciate the video though.

I just received a message from ADTH my next gen TV tuner will arrive Thursday. Hopefully you can try one out on you're channel.

Wallabag would be great but the app hasn't been updated since Jun 18th 2021 and is not available for my device because the app was made for older versions of Android :( anybody have any other Conatiners that are like wallabag with a up 2 date app?

Strange thing is, I was told that the Celeron in the DS218+ (I have one too) won't support more than 8gb of RAM, but mine's humming along happily with 16gb.

Is something similar to Evernote available in docker form?

[shadowdancer]

I can't run windows in my container manager. It unexpectedly terminated everytime I import image from registry.

Any video guide on how to run windows 11 from docker?

[rafraf]

What memory did you install on your DS218+ to get it up to 16GB? I just got me a DS224+ and even though it officially maxes at 6GB, I would like to know which ram stick so I can give it a shot

The new feature of the DSM 7.2 as you have update available on your docker images and my clicking it update it with ease

Lon, have you heard much about the sandisk external ssds failing since they're are owned by western digital? The sandisk extreme portable are failing and deleting data from there ssds and the same thing has happened with western digital hard drives so I'm not suprised that the sandisk ssds fail because they are owned by western digital.

You didn't have to rebuilt anything, when you change an environment variable, all you have to do is restart the container.

Very nice tutorials, thanks for sharing!!!

My Wallabag-db-1 is giving me warnings 1. "[Warning] mariadbd: io_uring_queue_init() failed with ENOSYS: check seccomp filters, and the kernel version (newer than 5.1 required)"
2. "[Warning] InnoDB: liburing disabled: falling back to innodb_use_native_aio=OFF" Note: no SQL experience

[jerryleeinkingful]

hey can we get a video of qbittorrent with vpn, thank

[zoran]

Thanks for the detailed tutorial and info, but this wallabag is good example of what absolute badly written application is. This looks like total mess with way too much dependencies and requirement for the end user to do something that should be done automatically.

[bader]

The time stamps are all messed up, I think it's for a video about a laptop or handheld gaming console 😂

When I saw the title and that it was from you, i thought finally i can get a good foundational overview.

Im frustrated. I expected you to 1) explain what you mean by self hosted 2) show us how to create some containers and put some simple applications in 3) tell us what we can and cant so with containers 4) How us how easy or it is to configure.

I didnt buy my NAS because i wanted another degree. I bought it because i thought i could use it like a centralized Windows OS--install ans back up applications. This is way more complicated than i expected and no one is giving a good comprehensive overview.

I thought maybe this video would give me some idea how at least get started with an app or two i want to install.

This dives too deepl, too quickly for the title.
