4.1. Containers - start/stop
| Installation type | Difficulty to do this |
|---|---|
Running as a Systemd service |
Easy |
Running in a container |
Setup needed - see below |
4.1.1. Example config.yaml
actions:
- title: Stop Plex
shell: docker stop plex
- title: Start plex
shell: docker start plex
4.1.2. Setup if running inside a container
You can control other containers, when running OliveTin inside a container itself, however you need to do some extra setup when creating the OliveTin container.
1) Pass /var/run/docker.sock as a bind mount to the container when creating it,
eg:
docker create -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ...additional args here...
Or, using the docker run syntax;
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name OliveTin jamesread/olivetin
2) The official x86_64 docker container comes with the docker client pre-installed. If you are using arm or and arm64 container, you will need to add Docker yourself.
docker exec -it olivetin dnf install -y docker

Note
|
The reason that the arm and arm64 containers do not container docker, is that when these images are cross-compiled at build time, it takes FOREVER because we have to emulate arm.
|
After that, you should be able to setup docker actions like it’s shown in the example above.
