Help installing container on TrueNAS Scale (containerd)

[benedlore]

Please describe.
I was hoping to try the docker container version on TrueNAS Scale, which is a Debian-based linux OS that using containerd for containers.

It seems like it should be possible, but I am not sure how to properly set up the settings within TrueNAS to be able to interact with the container. The below image serves to show all of the available settings in TrueNAS. I also was able to pull and run the container using these settings, but I am at a loss as to how to actually access it. Hoping some kind soul might be able to look through these and tell me exactly how I might access it over LAN.

Once it is running, I cannot connect to it either on the truenas machine or from another machine on the same network.

Thanks @benedlore - I haven't tried running Marqo in this environment. I have a few questions:

1. can you access the Marqo logs?
2. is the machine arm64 or amd64 based?
3. Marqo requires the --privileged flag to run certain features. Is that possible in this environment? We may be able to run Marqo without this flag, but it may require configuration changes

Hi @pandu-k , thank you for responding.

They did have some options that I think should enable some of the args in the docker command:

I cannot see the marqo logs the same way as I can when running in Docker, but it does show some Kubernetes logs, although not sure they are very helpful. Mostly just saying the container is started and running type of thing:

Started container ix-chart
2023-11-15 16:43:33
Created container ix-chart

Successfully assigned ix-marqo/marqo-ix-chart-6cfb8df7bd-sslwp to ix-truenas
2023-11-15 16:43:31
Add eth0 [172.16.0.54/16] from ix-net
2023-11-15 16:43:31
Container image "marqoai/marqo:latest" already present on machine

Once it is reported as started and running, I have tried both on the TrueNAS machine and on a different device on same LAN to send some requests at it to see if it responds, but I always just get a "target actively refused connection"

Oh also, machine this is running on is amd64, an AMD Epyc Rome

I had my ports set up wrong, it works fine when properly setting container port to 8882: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/help-with-a-docker-container-in-cobia-marqo.114234/#post-791323

@pandu-k Although it now works, I notice data is not persistent once it is turned off and back on. It has access to persistent storage space - do you know if there is a specific setting that might help with that?

[benedlore]

I added the same env vars that the original container appeared to use, and then changed the mount path to "/var/lib/docker" and it appears to be saving the data persistently now!
