unable to install Docker cli on a ReadyNAS 628X
I have just acquired a used ReadyNAS 628X running 6.10.8. I have been unable to install docker, all versions of it, with or without kernel-plus installed.
I have tried to factory reset multiple time and reinstall the OS as well. I just can't install it.
The weird thing is I used to have a RN314 running 6.10.8. Once i installed the kernel-plus, I had no problem installing it and the portainer.
Any clue or direction to where I should investigate?
Thanks in advance!!
- Hi
I did a bit of digging via ssh to get it working here on an x86 variant (516)
First up was add a few sources to apt, because Jessie is no more
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
deb https://download.docker.com/linux/debian jessie stable
Then make sure you have the keys to use the repos via
apt update
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <replace-key-here>
Finally
apt install docker-ce docker-cli-rnapp
Gave me docker in the apps part and usable via ssh for most apps, the biggest issue is the discs will never sleep unless you mount an ssd or usb etc as the /apps/docker… path.

I have gone back to as far as OS 6.10.0 and various version in between. no luck!
This appears hardware specific. RN628X and RN626X share the same hardware. Can someone who owns any of this do me a favor testing this? I would really appreciate the help.
I assume it is not just CPU architecture. RN314 and 628X are both intel x64 CPUs.
@Mhynlo would you be able to help? thanks. I really want to get this to work. It is really a piece of nice hardware, and without Docker, it is not much of a use tome. thanks again.
I would also appreciate any advice from anyone.
