Went from Corral to 9.1 to 11 can I save my Docker VM?

[bobbob1016]

I went from Corral back to my 9.1 (was still in my boot loader). Do I have to re-reinstall my plugins, or can I more or less easily bring my Docker VM to 11? Would it be worth the hassle to set them up from scratch again? Does anyone know where the config files for each are so I could copy my configs from SAB/CouchPotato/SickBeard?

Sorry if these have been asked/covered, I didn't see the threads on mobile.

I presume you didn't see the migration resource for moving from Corral to 9.10/11. See - https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...ng-from-freenas-corral-to-freenas-9-10-11.36/

See the "I'm using Docker!" section for more information on that subject.

btw, you're on some flavor of 9.10. 9.1 is 3+ years old.

Yeah, my bad, I was on 9.10, but am on 11 now. It seems that going back to jails may be better, so I don't have to keep everything custom if Docker doesn't have much of a benefit over jails. Hoping those aren't on the way out too.

Jails is being replaced by a new jails system as well. I imagine that the jails will need to be rebuilt at that time also.

The location of the Docker configs will depend on how you set them up. Many people put those files external from the Docker containers to make it easier to hold onto the configs through upgrades, etc. If you installed the config in the default local locations I'm not sure how you could re-use them later. Maybe some process of pulling those files out. But, at that point, I don't think it's worth the work over just re-building the things. In theory, your old app config files should work with a new Docker system, assuming that it allows pointing to external config folders like before.
