danioj Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hello All, I thought I would share with you something I learned today. I had just installed Maraschino (which for those who don't know is a simple web interface to act as a nice overview/front page for a Kodi / Openelec powered HTPC) via smidgeon's template repository (https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=34009.0) to replace the instance of it I had running on my HTPC living room. I wanted to migrate to my server because in my home Maraschino is used as the browser homepage on many devices BUT the living room HTPC is not always on. Anyway - I absolutely HATE the default grass background (grass.jpg) which comes installed as default. I wanted a nice "simpler" background. Anyway - in the past all I have done is replaced the grass.jpg located in the relevant folder in the installation with my own background also named grass.jpg. Voila. I have my nice background and no more grass. When I installed the docker however I realised that in the /config folder didn't contain the location of the .grass.jpg file. I realised what I would have to do is map a volume to that folder so I can change the files BUT then I realised I had NO idea where this folder was in the container file system. Note: I could have "guessed": which I did really. I went to the git homepage for the project, looked at the folder structure and figured if the thing was installed in /opt then I could work it out and map the volume accordingly. BUT I wanted to be sure. So I did the following to check: Telnet into unraid Get the docker id: docker ps Which gives something like this as its output: CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES fbfe739c2dbd smdion/docker-maraschino:latest "/sbin/my_init" 32 seconds ago Up 32 seconds Maraschino 003aca2445fd needo/sickrage:latest "/sbin/my_init" 40 minutes ago Up 40 minutes SickRage 4e7bfeccee8a needo/sabnzbd:latest "/sbin/my_init" 45 minutes ago Up 45 minutes SABnzbd 97abad94019e sparklyballs/headless-kodi-helix:latest "/sbin/my_init" 2 hours ago Up 2 hours 9777/udp, 0.0.0.0:8090->8080/tcp KODI-Headless 5c64f3d65868 smdion/docker-htpcmanager:latest "/sbin/my_init" 39 hours ago Up 39 hours HTPC-Manager 6074398c0a6b needo/mariadb:latest "/sbin/my_init" 40 hours ago Up 40 hours MariaDB 87ca4f105585 needo/couchpotato:latest "/sbin/my_init" 42 hours ago Up 42 hours CouchPotato So as I can clearly see the Maraschino id is: fbfe739c2dbd Access the container filesystem using syntax "docker exec -t -i <container id> /bin/bash": docker exec -t -i fbfe739c2dbd /bin/bash This then took me to a command prompt: root@main:/# So with a quick: ls /opt/maraschino/static/images/backgrounds/ I could see that the grass.jpg was indeed there. Exit the container prompt and return to Unraid prompt exit Now I was out of the container file system. I then went on and mapped a volume in the docker to that location and boom - after copying the files from the git source into that folder - I was able to change grass.jpg to my own custom background. Anyway - just thought I would share. Daniel Quote Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 use the container name instead of the ID ie docker exec -it Maraschino bash helluva lot easier to remember Maraschino than a seemingly random string of characters. and any changes you make to the image file system that aren't saved locally to an unraid folder will be lost if you ever have to update or edit the container Quote Link to comment
