MinimServer not mounted

[m1tch]

I'm having problems with this error: MinimServer shared folder on host is not shared with this container

I mounted in on /MinimServer and it shows up when I ls from the docker app (on Synology). I've installed a few Docker MinimServer apps and could have created this problem myself.

I only have one now.

Do you have any troubleshooting steps I can take?

I am not sure what you mean by "I only have one now".

This message means your Docker container does not have a /MinimServer/data or /MinimServer/appData folder. On Synology, your host /MinimServer folder should have an appData subfolder. If this subfolder is missing (for example, if you have uninstalled MinimServer from the host), you will get this error message.

I have one minimserver running on the Synology NAS I recently purchased. Another rather imortant part is that the new NAS has DSM 7.0-41890 installed.

Is this one host instance or one Docker instance? On Synology, you must have a host MinimServer instance installed before you can run a Docker MinimServer instance. The host instance must have been started at some point after installation but doesn't need to be running.

I'm running DSM7.0-41890.

I installed the Docker app from Synology. I don't know what it is known as. Then I installed the minimworld/MinimServer Docker in the original Docker app.

The opt, etc, & appData folders were not created, I suppose because it says it can't find the MinimServer share. This seems like a permissions issue more than anything else. I've looked at the other Synology NAS and see some differences. I have deleted the share and recreated it and I have a new share like the first one. If you can list the requirements, such as Unix root owned 555 0n the DSM 6 version when I use ls -l at a bash terminal. The DSM 7.0 shows root owned 777. On DSM 6 the GUI web frontend shows has one Everyone user that has read with all items checked. On DSM 7 there is no Everyone user. My username, admin, and guest are there. My username is R/W and the others are not allowed.

Please give me the necessary permissions and anything alse that might help.

Thank you for the assistance. I'm new at MinimServer and Docker, but I like them both quite a bit. I needed a music server and MinimServer is what I chose because I think it's the best. I'm not just saying that to get your help, either.

You need to follow all the steps in this section. As part of step 2 (not stated very clearly at present) you need to start the MinimServer package from the Package Center with an internet connection available. This creates a file named minimserver-starter.license in the appData directory. After this file has been created, you can stop the MinimServer package if you don't want to run MinimServer as a native Synology package.

After you have done this, follow the remaining steps from step 3 onwards and everything should work.

It's amazing how much time I saved after you pointed out the directions. I should have done more reading before posting. My DSM 7 has a woking MinimServer now. Thank you!
