Docker Containers from Dockerhub with TrueNAS Scale

Happy Monday, everyone.

Today i thought about coming back to some server stuff and showing how to add docker containers that aren't part of the TrueCharts list to our TrueNAS Scale server. It's super easy, but when I first tried the ports gave me issues so figured could help someone skip over this trouble shooting step in the future.

Something I forgot to mention was that I did update to 22.12.4.2 but docker stopped working so reverted back to 22.12.2 for this video. Not sure why the update didn't work but reverting was easy to do and docker started working right away again.

Let me know what you think. This should work for any docker container that uses a port to access a GUI (not pipeline containers that we might try in the future for bioinformatics pipelines, those are a bit different). Containers like Shiny servers, WebODM, etc. Pretty cool!

Awesome!! that helps a lot, by any chance could you please do a tutorial in how to deploy a docker container running windows in True NAS due to my CPU does not support KVM extensions, I think there are many guys looking in how to do it,

Hey,
this isn´t working on my TrueNAS Scale?!
When I go to the "Apps" tab, there is no "Installed Applications", "Available Applications", "Manage Catalogs" and "Manage Docker Images" to chose.
It looks different. When I go to Apps, there is just "Installed" at the top and "Applications" below.
On the right upper corner is a blue "Discover Apps" button, which opens the lib, but here is also nothing with docker..
Was there a GUI upgrade? Was this option removed? Do I have to set something differently in TrueNAS? Isn´t pulling a Docker Image and starting it from the Apps no longer possible?
Thank you in advance! :)
