Post by Hempie1064 »

Hi..

I would like to know if there is an app or docker for rar.

I need RAR to run on my Qnap nas.

Thanks.

What is a snap NAS?

Docker container could be available, but depends on what (unknown) CPU architecture your (unknown) NAS uses

I fixed your title

NAS model is still unknown

Here is one for x64/amd64
https://hub.docker.com/r/klutchell/rar/tags

Installs fine and waits for anything to do

Wow... great. THANKS....

Just one last Q... A program what I run in another container needs car to do some stuff. I need to point to the RAR folder in that app.

How do point it to the klutchell/rar container?

I think you can use

Code: Select all

docker run -v


and then parse whatever folders and commands it needs (see the documentation of the docker container in shell)

I have never used docker containers that way, but I am pretty sure it should work

Your NAS unit/firmware are still unknown

I just checked and I have unrar native installed on my machine (TS-853BU) 5.0.0.2277

Code: Select all

# unrar t test1.rar

UNRAR 5.30 beta 3 freeware      Copyright (c) 1993-2015 Alexander Roshal


Testing archive test1.rar

Testing     test-api.js                                               OK
Testing     test-api.js.map                                           OK
Testing     test-api.ts                                               OK
Testing     index.html                                                OK
All OK

I have. TS-453A... (older one)

I need RAR... not UNRAR. And if that is available, I need an other program so point to the RAR path... the folder where the RAR executable is located.

I hope u understand what I mean.
