great content, I'm no expert with docker and you solved my issue in 2 minutes when I spent hours reading countless forums

Thanks so much. Very well done explainer. It's so much more comfortable to have a backup container while you check the update.

How is your channel so lowkey?? You make the best, quick/straight to the point, clearly spoken, well laid out and quality videos!! In the past couple of weeks I've utilized several of your videos to get me "unstuck". I need somewhere to donate!

Used this to update pihole. Easy and straightforward, unlike the documentation which tells you to use commands of which I have no idea where to put them. I'm spending a lot of time learning anything about my NAS but I don't have time for everything! :p

Exactly what I was after as I have no clue how to SSH! Thank You!

[Felixemperor]

Thanks for the explanation, I was doing it by downloading the image and then re-creating the container but it felt so cumbersome! Glad there is an easier way as soon as I heard your explanation it clicked.

Just ran into my first sonarr update and this video helped me perfectly. Appreciate it!

[DaleCrytosFrench]

Excellent guide. Sorted me out so quickly. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[ciprian]

Short and informative technical clip. Thank you!👍

[ChrisHursey]

You made this so simple! Love it, thanks!

[Buchnerd_Souly]

Oh man! /o\
And i thought being on "latest" would update itself automatically. 😆
Thank you!

Would you please create a video on your top 10 or so docker containers you use and how those help you ? Thanks a lot, pretty under rated this channel is.

One thing you need to remember when using the 'Duplicate Settings' option in Synology GUI is that it will not duplicate local port values if it's other than auto, for obvious reasons.

This was a nice, clean and easy way to update my Plex server. Thanks!

[hellhole]

8 months later & I'm back - Had to search how to do this again haha - Thanks again. Dang Pi-hole

[tvstamara]

Thank you! Very well shown and explained.

Another tip: If you have Enable Auto-Start turned on, when you duplicate and rename to add "-BACKUP", uncheck that setting so if your server does restart, you don't have two conflicting containers running!

Awesome tutorials! You deserve more subscribers, maybe add hashtags in description and stuff?

I followed the first half of the video using the Docker app in Synology to rename and duplicate. The problem I ran in to is that because I assign the Local Port for my containers, when the original is duplicated, it changes Local Port to Auto. I used to just download the latest, stop, clear, and start, but I like the idea of having a backup like you mention. Just need to change the ports between the original and duplicate using your method. Thank you for the video.

Thank you! =D Always had to recreate the container. Subbed.
