ReadyNAS OS6.10.8 - how to install docker
Hi it appears that installation of the app 'Docker CE CLI' always fails, even though it is listed as available under OS 6.10.8, with no warning that it is no longer supported.
What is the solution to this?
Beyond just network file storage, given my ReadyNAS hardware is still perfectly good, I don't want to depend on leaving more than one device permanently tied up and running to handle simple monitoring and recording functions (such as IP camera surveillance & recording) that docker would (supposedly) provide access to, via a large array of opensource applications

Like all third-party apps, it never was supported by Netgear. It was submitted to the app store by a ReadyNAS user ( Mhynlo) who hasn't been active here for about 5 years.
One factor here is Debian's recent end of support for Jessie (the version of Linux that the ReadyNAS uses). Installs that need new debian libraries are failing because the Jessie depository was moved to an archive by the Debian folks. There is some info on that here:
Though there could be other issues with the Docker app.

Thanks Stephan
I guess that would be consistent with the failure I subsequently encountered testing the installation of a few other 3rd party apps in the same way.
I have stumbled across a few references to people who have tried to install Home Assistant, an older version of True NAS (coupled with a memory upgrade) or OpenMedia Vault on ReadyNAS (which seem to be the only other GUI based alternatives to OS6 that support plugins), mostly a long time ago, and I get the impression that none were entirely successful.
I suppose the next option would be to use some sort of small separate low power network device like a Raspberry Pi 4 (if I can find one) or a 2nd hand Intel NUC, perhaps using Home Assistant to run any always-on apps, and to keep using ReadyNAS as the storage.
A NUC seems to be the most future-proof for any demanding tasks - for example IP camera surveillance AI based motion detection event analysis , based on a couple of people who tried Raspberry Pi first , then made the switch, but NUC not nearly as power efficient.
Or I suppose rather than NUC I could try repurposing an old laptop, hoping that it won't fry itself by remaining on 24/7 (as already happened to one of mine).
