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 ...
- 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.
Thank you, @shumaku and StephenB.
You both are right. I understand the situation with readynas. I was prepared to settle with it just being a NAS device and docker capability, even it is outdated. I just love readynas OS’ ease of it backup function. It is still the best. I used a synology before. It has all the functions, but its backup is not as flexible as readynas.
I sold my RN314 and bought the newer 628x hoping i would still be able to run docker on it. I am disappointed.
I would like hear if docker works with other people’s 626 or 628. I can’t seem to understand it is just mu unit of 628x.
Kindly, owners of 626 or 628, pls let me know you experience the same issue.
Again, thanks both. I know readynas os’ life numbered. Jessie is obsolete now. No more apps will be available or function.

- Thanks a lot.
Coincidentally, i also figured out how to install it, with the help of a kind member friend here.
What a wonder community. My mighty readynas got an extended life!
Really appreciate your helpSo, what goes in <replace-key-here> ?
- Hi
I can’t remember what the key was. But when you do apt update it complains it can’t use one or more repositories because they don’t have the appropriate key. The part it displays is what you put here, you may need to do one for the newer Debian repo and one for the docker repo.
Huw
Please, please can someone help me with installing Docker on ReadyNAS 314, so that I can breathe some life into this NAS.
I have been trying through SSH to no luck.
- May i ask why using “stretch” distrib, not the jessie? While it works well with dockers, it seems to break a lot of others.
Would you be able to get the jessie work the same way?
Thanks- I picked stretch to install docker as I only ever got key expired off the Jessie ones that I needed files from. Once docker is installed you can take it off again or change back to Jessie. I haven’t tried an upgrade via stretch yet as it wants to change systemv which will likely break things.
- Once i installed docker, i will not be able to install several others, like ddclient, logitech media server, etc. removing the stretch from source list does not help.
Do you think i can burn the Jessie installation ISO to a USB flash drive and add it to the source.list to bypass the security check? There might be shared dependencies between docker and others.
