Docker CLI Addon for ReadyNAS 6.9.3 - Installation Failure
Hi guys, completely new here. I've just purchased a Netgear ReadyNAS 214 and just setting it up now. I'd like to install Docker on it and from what I've learned so far, Mhynlo has put in a bit of work on getting this to work. I've tried downloading the latest stable and pre-release versions from here:
https://github.com/Mhynlo/readynas-docker-cli
Unfortunately, I'm having a bit of trouble getting it to install. I keep getting an "Cannot install application docker-cli-rnapp" error message. Help?
My goal is to have my ReadyNAS spin up icloud_photos_downloader (https://github.com/ndbroadbent/icloud_photos_downloader) pull files from iCloud on a scheduled basis to backup to storage on the NAS. It's a different approach than ReadyCLOUD and it gives me more control over how files are backed up:
- An app also doesn't have to be installed (and managed by the end user)
- Backups are initiated from server-side and not client-side on the device
- Backups are not managed on the device, which can be confusing for a non-technical end user
- Delete older content from iCloud if it is already backed up to NAS; This maximizes the use of cloud storage space
Any help greatly appreciated!

I suspect there might have been another app that you encountered some issues.
There are two things we could do: 1) you can provide remote access with the Secure Diagnostics Mode and PM me the 5 digit code 2) if you didn't want to provide remote access, you can provide the logs to the moderator email and we can see what is causing the issue.
Details for both remote access and logs are in my signature.

Thanks! I'll reach out to you later this evening. It's puzzling - This NAS unit is pretty much vanilla (only applied an OS update) and I haven't tried to install anything else besides Docker.

Looks like I overlooked the fact that readynas-docker-cli is x86 only. I have a RN214 which is ARM-based ...

I'm also using a Readynas 102, any progress on the issue with the held broken packages installing docker?

Anyone have an update on this? Interested in getting Docker running on a ReadyNAS 214.
