Docker-transmission-openvpn: How to run this on a RPi

[theincredibleman]

Sorry, Docker noob here. Trying to get my head around this instruction for the RPi:

Since the Raspberry PI runs on an ARM architecture instead of x64, the existing x64 images will not work properly. To support users that wish to run this container on a Raspberry Pi, there are 2 additional Dockerfiles created. The Dockerfiles supported by the Raspberry PI are Dockerfile.armhf -- there is also an example docker-compose-armhf file that shows how you might use Transmission/OpenVPN and the corresponding nginx reverse proxy on an RPI machine.

But I can't figure out how to do this. Anyone that can help me with a step-by-step instruction?
I am running the OMV 4 OS with the Docker GUI installed.

By the way, amazing work guys!

Figured this out by myself (and with some help from the Docker subreddit community), and thought I'd list the steps to get this working to help other RPi users.

1. SSH to your RPi and run the following command (in the root of the RPi) to pull the GIT repo:
   git checkout [email protected]:haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn.git

2. Browse to the downloaded folder:
   cd docker-transmission-openvpn

3. Build the Docker image by using the ARMF file for the PI:
   docker build -t transmission-openvpn -f Dockerfile.armhf .

4. After that, the Docker image was set up. I used the Docker GUI on OMV to configure the environment variables and networking, create the Docker container and start it.

Update: #582 adds support for automatic builds on Docker Hub. New tag dev-armhf is built and available.

Another noob here, sorry ;-). Is it going to work on arm64 as well?. I want to run it on odroid c2.

So, as a newbish pi/docker user, how would I pull the dev-armhf image for docker?

[haugene]

@CovertDad I guess you figured it out, but for future reference: docker pull haugene/transmission-openvpn:dev-armhf

[nemchik]

@haugene do you recommend

haugene/transmission-openvpn:latest-armhf

Or

haugene/transmission-openvpn:dev-armhf

For general use (people looking for the most stable option)

[haugene]

Right now they're the same. But in general, latest will be more stable than dev.

Thanks! I'll add the ARM image to my project.
