Troubleshooting

??? question "Someone asked you for a 'docker-compose' snippet...How do you give them that?"

If you are not using `docker-compose`, that can sound like a daunting task. Have no fear though, the following cli command spits it out.

```shell linenums="1"
docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro ghcr.io/red5d/docker-autocompose <container-name-or-id> [<additional-names-or-ids>]
```

Now you should upload this to [logs.notifiarr.com](https://logs.notifiarr.com){ target="_blank" rel="noopener" } after removing personal details and passwords.

Installation

??? question "Installing Docker, how and where?"

I'd have a look at the official [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/){ target="_blank" rel="noopener" } installation instructions.

Guides

??? question "I would like to execute my own scripts on startup, how would I do this?"

This will only work for containers using `s6 overlay`, recognisable by `ENVIRONMENT` printed at the top of the log when the container starts.

If you have a need to do additional stuff when the container starts or stops, you can mount your script with the volume `/docker/host/my-script.sh:/etc/cont-init.d/99-my-script` to execute your script on container start or `/docker/host/my-script.sh:/etc/cont-finish.d/99-my-script` to execute it when the container stops. An example script can be seen below.

```shell linenums="1"
#!/command/with-contenv bash
echo "Hello, this is me, your script."
```

??? question "How can I get a static IP for one of my containers using 'docker-compose'?"

Here's a basic docker-compose example that sets up a custom network and gives the plex container a static IP.

```yaml linenums="1"
version: "3.7"

networks:
  my-custom-network:
    name: my-custom-network
    driver: bridge
    ipam:
      driver: default
      config:
        - subnet: 10.1.0.0/24

services:
  plex:
    container_name: plex
    image: hotio/plex
    ports:
      - "32400:32400"
    networks:
      my-custom-network:
        ipv4_address: 10.1.0.100
    ...

  radarr:
    container_name: radarr
    image: hotio/radarr
    ports:
      - "7878:7878"
    networks:
      - my-custom-network
    ...
```

??? question "How do I route a container's traffic through a VPN container?"

Small docker-compose example below. Notice the `...`, this isn't a copy/paste ready to go example.

```yaml linenums="1"
version: "3.7"

services:
  qbittorrent:
    hostname: qbittorrent.internal 
    container_name: qbittorrent
    image: hotio/qbittorrent
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "9117:9117"
    environment:
      ...
      - VPN_EXPOSE_PORTS_ON_LAN=9117/tcp
    ...

  jackett:
    container_name: jackett
    image: hotio/jackett
    network_mode: "service:qbittorrent"
    ...
```

??? question "But, but, how do I configure all this stuff?"

Maybe TRaSH from [TRaSH Guides](https://trash-guides.info){ target="_blank" rel="noopener" } can help...
