Tony is certainly still active and tends to appear for a while then go quiet for a bit. He often pops into hardware type threads and, not surprisingly, to threads where he pulls on how he's set up his servers (plenty of them) and website. Dave, Ben and Peter drop in and I sometimes have to ask them to contribute where there are apps that I don't use with questions that have gone unanswered. Typical here are ClearGlass, Minebox, CleearVM, Gateway Management, Kopano and Zarafa.

I see that Tony is still active? Also Dave and Ben.. Peter?

Edit: Only Tony was active a day ago. The others a week or more. Damn....

Okay, interesting.

Yeah, support these days is hard to find on the forums. I noticed. You are the only person left if I'm correct?

Have a look at the sticky at the top of the forum. It is a way of managing all your servers (including cloud based) from a single console. I am trying to get the community version up and running to see if I can manage my test servers, including starting and stopping them. I know it is easy to do it from multiple browser instances without ClearGlass, but I am hoping to be able to support ClearGlass as well. Virtually no one else provides support on the forum these days but in order to support it, I need to have it working.

I’m not sure what ClearGlass is. Were is it used for? I have do some investegation..

As far as I've seen there is no Docker GUI - the app does not even exist in the marketplace. It is only pulled in because of the ClearGlass app.

Thanks for the notes on docker. I'll have to have a look some time. For the moment I'd like to get ClearGlass up and running.

The docker-app didn't install a webgui so I assume there is no webgui?

Okay installed ClearOS Community in a VM registered, updated ClearOS and installed app-docker. I installed successfully the Plex Docker container of Linuxserver.io. Here a quick explanation of what I did.

You can start / stop Docker with

systemctl start docker



systemctl stop docker

Check if Docker is started.

docker version

Now we are going to try install the Linuxserver.io Plex container.

docker pull linuxserver/plex

Check if the container is pulled in.

docker ps -a

Create a Docker container.

 docker create --name=plex --net=host -e version=latest -v /docker-config-files:/config linuxserver/plex

Start Plex Docker container.

docker start <imageName>

You can find the image name by doing docker ps -a. You don't have to type the whole Docker container name. Just use the first few letters/numbers.

Then everything works as usual. Access Plex via your browser. http://ipAddressOfClearosServer:32400/web.


This is just a quick try and the parameters of creating the Plex Docker container are not completely correct yet. Please keep me posted when trying!

Thanks for the information Nick.

Going to install ClearOS in a VM to check. I'm a bit curious..

The docker app is only installable from the command line ("yum install app-docker"). I have absolutely no idea how to use it for other docker containers. I already have a problem in that ClearGlass is not working for me and I have no idea if it is the ClearGlass app or the docker module and I don't know how to diagnose. Peter Baldwin has the same problem so he is going to ask the guys at mist.io (the ClearGlass people) and hopefully he'll feedback. I have a feeling it is a mist-io problem as it appears to be a python error. I know it works for other people as there have been replies to the forum announcement thread.

Hi Nick,

That is cool. So I understand from your words that you can use it not only for ClearGlass but also for other Docker containers? If so then I have to take a look.

You certainly have to try Docker it's a real cool technology!

The docker app has been released and is used for ClearGlass (although there is something not working for me). I have no idea how you install other docker apps in it. If I remember the question I'll ask it when I next speak to the devs.
