Update the docker list?

noorbertt · March 19, 2019, 1:17pm

Hello,

I been starting to use Rockstor by weeks and I am very happy with, I have a stable linces. Its just work fine.

In the Rock-ons l noticed the is some outdated docker and I would like to ask there is any plan to upgrade the list? And maybe add some new dockers?

BTSync (https://www.getsync.com/) and Resilio Sync (https://www.resilio.com/)
are the some by years (I guess).
and zoneminder is outdateed is well.

I really would like to see Seafile in the repo, unfortunatly I am not able to doig by myself.

@noorbertt Welcome to the Rockstor community.

Glad you are liking Rockstor.

This is an ongoing effort and we do have quite a few updates / additions that have been committed but have yet to be published. See the history of changes on the following page:

rockon-registry commits history

However Rockstor’s behind the scenes infrastructure is currently undergoing some changes and that is delaying the public ‘push’ of these changes. Hopefully this should be a short lived thing and we can, with the new infrastructure in place, start to release changes more rapidly.

But yes some Rock-ons haven’t received much attention. We mostly depend on community contributions for the maintenance of this repository but I do intend myself to put some more time into updates once I’m done with getting the hosting server arrangement into it’s newer form.

You might be surprised. Take a quick look at the following instructions on creating Rock-ons:

github.com

rockstor/rockon-registry/blob/master/README.md

# rockon-registry

This repository consists of Rock-on (Docker based apps) configuration profiles
formatted as JSON files. The Rock-on framework of Rockstor parses a well
formatted profile and provides a generic management and workflow such as
install, uninstall, update, start and stop.

## Can You Show Me an Example??

Look at any <name>.json file in this repository. A simpler example is
[syncthing.json](https://github.com/rockstor/rockon-registry/blob/master/syncthing.json). The structure is intuitive (though cumbersome) and with the help of examples and below description, you can add your own apps with some effort.

## How Can I Add My Own App?

If you are familiar with Docker and know how to run apps by hand, you can create a Rock-on for the same with a little bit of craft. There are three broad steps.

1. Configure the Rock-on service on your Rockstor system. Follow this [doc](http://rockstor.com/docs/docker-based-rock-ons/overview.html).

2. Create your Rock-on profile file, [app].json following the clues in this readme.

Each Rock-on definition is just a single json file.

You might also be interested in the current, as yet unpublished, list of Rock-ons which is now significantly larger than our published list that appears in the Web-UI:

    "Airsonic Advanced": "airsonic-advanced.json",
    "Bitcoin": "bitcoind.json",

But as yet Seafile Rock-on. But I have now added a GitHub issue to note your request:

github.com/rockstor/rockon-registry

add seafile Rock-on

Forum member noorbertt has requested the addition of a Seafile Rock-on. Creating… this issue to note this request. Please update the following forum thread with this issues resolution: https://forum.rockstor.com/t/update-the-docker-list/5898 A quick search would suggest that Seafile has for some time been available in a docker image: https://forum.seafile.com/t/new-seafile-docker-is-ready/5856 (Apr 2018) which in turn links to the following GitHub repo: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-docker which looks to be active but it is not currently clear which dockerhub image is the official one, or if an official docker hub image even exists.

Hope that helps and thanks for helping to support Rockstor’s development via a stable subscription.

@phillxnet already detailed everything, but I simply wanted to add more regarding the Seafile request.

There already has been demand for Seafile, and quite recently @TexasDex shared his attempt at it. As you can see in the forum thread linked below, Seafile was displaying a rather odd behavior that I unforunately haven’t had more time to dig further. It may have been related to the upstream docker container, however, so maybe a newer version of it may give better results. See the thread below:

Would you be willing to create an issue in the rockon-registry repository for each of the rock-on you noticed were outdated? Some of them may have already been updated but yet to be published as @phillxnet explained, but if there are other that need refreshing, it would be very helpful to have a list so that we can remedy the problem.

Thanks!

I noticed those 3 yet (zoneminder, bitsync and resilio) but I will try few more exaple home assistant soon and I will make a issue.

Thanks guys the quick reply

Thanks a lot!
Make sure to have a quick look at the opened and closed PR / Issue on the rockon-registry repository as well, as these names sound very familiar to me and I feel they were updated recently (I could, of course, be completely wrong about that).
