PS3 Docker container for ps3netsrv

[aldostools]

I think this message posted by @shawly on my github may be of interest for Alpine linux, raspberry pi, synology and other linux users that want to use ps3netsrv on these devices to serve content (games, packages, movies, music, photo) for use with multiMAN, sMAN, webMAN or webMAN MOD.

I created a container with the latest binary built from source: https://hub.docker.com/r/shawly/ps3netsrv For anyone interested, I've been able to add multiarch support, people can now run the container on all RaspberryPi models or stuff like Synology disk stations. This hasn't been tested properly as I only own an RPi 1B+, which works but is really slow (obviously). My container runs the latest version built from master, with docker you don't have to compile stuff yourself. it's an isolated environment for running applications. Containers run on the same kernel as your host's OS. It's like running the application on your host but it is self contained so you don't need to install any dependencies (other than docker) and you don't have to bother with compilation issues and stuff. You can run a CentOS container on an Ubuntu host and vice versa. This keeps your computer clean from thousands of build libraries. And if you delete your container and the image there is no trace left of it ever being "installed" on your system. Compared to a VM there is almost no overhead because it's not virtualized so it's easy on resources. Backblaze has a pretty nice article which explains the differences better than I do: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vm-vs-containers/ You can see a container more like an already "preconfigured vm" (just without virtualization and the heavier resource usage). My ps3netsrv container has roughly the size of 10MB and is installed by running a single command, a vm would at least take up 3-4GB of space and would require you to set up everything manually.

I finally had some time to automate the build for the images, new releases are now easier for me to manage. ARMv7 as well as i386 (x86) systems are now supported as well.

Only thing left on my todo list is finding a way to automatically trigger a new build of my ps3netsrv Docker image if a new ps3netsrv version is released, but I haven't yet found a good way to implement that.

Can anyone help a moron out? I have this
Asustor Drivestor 2 AS1102T

NAS and I'm trying to install the container but I'm a complete f**ken moron that doesn't know sh1t about docker or much programming. I've searched goober but no step by step instructions to do this. And the instructions on git make no sense to me.

Hi, i know this post is about something different, vut i can't uninstall webman mod, i "updated it" (redownload latest version from xmb webman menu) and now it won't uninstall. Also the reload xmb option is no t showing it's text unless selected, what should i do?

Never mind just installed full version over lite then uninstalled it and reinstalled lite, still the "refresh xmb" text won't appear unless selectrd.
