jailmaker VS moby

I run docker on scale using a Debian jail. It works great, and has basically no overhead or networking/device issues like a VM.

I decided not to go the Truecharts or even TrueNas charts way for running my apps and instead used this script to set up what's effectively a low-overhead VM to run Docker in: https://github.com/Jip-Hop/jailmaker

Personally, I just switched from Openmediavault to Truenas. Truenas handles storage much better. For docker apps I run a Debian jail, rather than a VM. Jails are more performant and easier to manage IMHO. This is what I used to create the jail: https://github.com/Jip-Hop/jailmaker

An alternative is this. I have migrated all my apps to a “jail” (basically a Debian vm that runs on top of the scale os). It gives you full control of your containers. You could use the same compose or docker run that you used on unraid to recreate the container.

I've been using the jail maker script https://github.com/Jip-Hop/jailmaker in bridge networking mode and it works great. Host networking (which is the default) is a bit annoying because you can use any of the normal ports 22/80/443 since they're all used by TrueNAS.

Either I'll spin up a VM and pass through a GPU or I'll try this out.

Check out https://github.com/Jip-Hop/jailmaker. I love it. Have all my containers and docker compose running through there. No need to recreate the wheel, mess around with gui apps and the like.

Also recommend you take a look at Jailmaker, which runs docker in a SystemD-based jail and will save you from a lot of potential grief in the future when Ix Systems changes something again.

100% OP. iX' path with SCALE and Truecharts is heartbreaking. Fencing themselves in to this ecosystem, deleting the Linux -open way of doing things with like docker or else. Hopefully they get the community vibe against k3s and will build something useful into truenas in the future. For now there is this LXC-like linux jails: https://github.com/Jip-Hop/jailmaker

I just tried the upgrade to TrueNAS Scale 22.12.1, only to realize that my entire docker stack didn't come up. This is, as announced in their release notes, due to this PR. It prevents the docker daemon from being run, if no App is installed. However, I do this intentional, to have a pretty pristine (non-k3) environment and run my legacy docker-compose stacks on it. I used this awesome script (note that I took it from a Gist, not by myself) to configure the daemon properly and restart it. SOoooo: did anyone already find a work-around to disable / revert that PR and allow running docker (because it is installed after all).

https://github.com/truenas/moby/pull/17/files You need some way to work around this check.
