Docker GUI functionality support

  • Hi there,


    I was just testing the Docker GUI and from using Docker directly on the terminal I'm kinda lost on a few missing functionality.
    So I was wondering if I'm missing something.


    When pulling an image, I'm unable to pull official images, such as NextCloud because the plugin seems to be defaulting to https://hub.docker.com/r/ + whatever you input as repo
    I tried to do ../_/nextcloud but didn't work either although the "i" will open the page successfully.


    When creating a container, I'm unable to set any settings at all other than volumes and even those there is a switch that I have no idea what it does.


    Is there an Advanced mode for this plugin?


    Thanks,
    Ralms

    When pulling an image, I'm unable to pull official images, such as NextCloud because the plugin seems to be defaulting to hub.docker.com/r/ + whatever you input as repo

    The plugin can only at the moment pull only from the hub. I was suppose to look into using other outside of the hub URL's but i haven't done anything yet.. Is strange because i just type nextcloud and it works, downloads from the official image from the hub

    The plugin is not portainer, can only do a limited amount of settings, but down below you can pass extra arguments. This plugin does not run interactive containers. The switch you see is for read-only (r/O), apparently we need a tool tip.

    No, whatever you see is what you get. If you need more then i recommend to use CLI or portainer

    Yes, that was where I wanted to get the image from:
    https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud/
    You managed to pull that?


    I tried it again and it did work with only "nextcloud" but going to info it redirects to here:
    https://hub.docker.com/r/nextcloud/
    Weird.

    yeah I understand that, but I don't have the Extra Arguments field :(

    In regards of pulling, the plugin executes


    docker pull whateverstringisonfield


    If no tag is filled, it defaults to


    docker pull whateverstringisonfield:latest


    So if you fill nextcloud it should pull the official repo. However if you fill


    nextcloud/nextcloud it will pull from user nextcloud and if exists the image named nextcloud. Does it make sense?


    However the info button has a bug indeed, where it doesn’t recognize if is official repo or user repo so it defaults to /r/.
    So don’t trust the info button for now for images that opens an url in the browser.
    I have fixed this in my github plugin repo. I will try to push as soon as I have time.


    @nicjo814 if you don’t mind taking a look into the fix for this https://github.com/subzero79/o…avault-docker-gui?files=1

  • Dont know whats going on there, maybe a browser cache issue. Try different browser

    I'm currently using Opera 48 (Chromium based) (Latest)
    I've inpected the HTML and there is nothing hidden, the fieldset only has the volumes.


    I've tried with Chrome 61 (latest)
    And just to use something different Edge 40.


    To be honest I don't feel its a browser issue.


    Just some more info, I'm using Docker-Gui 3.1.9 (from OMV-Extras) with OMV 3.0.88




    Yeah it made sense, good to know.
    I'm glad I've helped on finding that.



    I will take the opportunity to just ask one last thing.
    In Networks, I'm a bit confused with the "Connect"/"Disconnect" options, what does that mean? Considering that networks in docker are kinda container based no?

  • I see now, you're using create data container, use run image


    Can I ask what creating a data container would do? For example, could I just map locations for my download folders, media folders, etc. in a data container, and then attach that data container to all of my media-serving/downloading containers instead of mapping the appropriate folders for each one individually?

  • Yes. I think that’s the idea. I personally don’t use it.


    I decided to play around with this tonight since it would simplify my media serving applications. It seems to work as discussed, but I am not sure why I need to select an image when I create a storage container. Is that something that can be eliminated from the setup process?
