Support for Docker installation

I see someone has already created a Dockerfile for vanilla MinimServer, but I also find MinimStreamer terribly useful as most of my music is in ALAC format which has limited support with renderers.

My question is - is there any way to install MinimStreamer without using the package manager of MinimWatch?

If you are unfamiliar with Docker, it essentially spins up a new virtual machine on each reboot installing packages from the Dockerfile, which would mean MinimStreamer requires setting up after each reboot.

Thanks for letting me know about this.

The only way to install MinimStreamer is via the Packages tab of the Properties dialog for MinimServer/MinimWatch.

I've looked at the Dockerfile for MinimServer. The approach it uses to download and install MinimServer isn't supported and is likely to stop working in the near future.

Is there some reason why you can't use the documented and supported MinimServer Linux installation procedure (see this page) on an unRAID system?
