NextEnd Docker Install

[Mark-McG]

No the /app directory is not the /config directory.  It is where you put NShared.dll in another post.

Martin

The config directory is where I put that, maybe that was wrong but it seemed to work. I don’t have a /app path mapped in my docker. I could add it though

It is already in the built in Docker you cant create it. Here is where we discussing it here for NShared.dll https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid585027

Unfortunately by electing to use Docker you make things more difficult for yourself.

Ah okay, I couldn't see NextEnd.dll when I ran ls. I think because I am using the docker image with com skip etc built in. So I have now run this command from the conversation you linked.
cp /config/NShared.dll /app

So the dll now shows when I run ls, which seems like a good sign. 

Unfortunately I am still wrestling with the same symbolic link error. The error for the other command however has changed:

# dotnet /app/NextEnd.dll --eventoid 1234

Cannot use file stream for [/app/NextEnd.deps.json]: No such file or directory
A fatal error was encountered. The library 'libhostpolicy.so' required to execute the application was not found in '/app/'.
Failed to run as a self-contained app.
  - The application was run as a self-contained app because '/app/NextEnd.runtimeconfig.json' was not found.
  - If this should be a framework-dependent app, add the '/app/NextEnd.runtimeconfig.json' file and specify the appropriate framework.


Appreciate all the help so far, I totally agree docker is not ideal but I don't have any more capacity on my server to run another VM so would like to try and get a docker solution working.

That won't work, you don't need to deps file but the other files in the zip file are required except the Windows exe file.

So if I switch to the official image from sub would that resolve? I am more interested in NextEnd working than comskip

[mvallevand]

Not really, the problem is for some reason you only copied one file from the zip file.

So if I want to copy the remaining files, would I use this command but with the other files?

cp /config/NShared.dll /app

Sorry I am really at the limit of my knowledge here but trying to learn  

EDIT:

I went ahead and did the above and now when I put in the test command you gave me, it returns no results at all which seems positive! 

[mvallevand]

You need to copy in all the files except the exe. I don't know if you have opened a bash shell so I can't tell you how to do this, if you are

When it works it should return something.

Code:

NEXTPVR_INSTALLDIR /apps/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR /app/data/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA /config/
OID 1234 not found

When I package up the update I will update the instructions to run from outside /app so that it mostly will work after an update.

I updated the wiki with a version that supports for Formula 1 better for all SD users. The instructions have been expanded upon and I suggest you follow them, since they are easy with you update Docker images that won't include NextEnd.

Thank you Martin for updating following my request and also refreshing the wiki.

Im really sorry to be a pain and keep asking questions but I am still running into some issues.

As per the refreshed instructions I have created a new folder set in my config directory: /config/Plugins/NextEnd and have uploaded all the files from the new version to that folder.

I am then running: # sed -i 's/\"\/\"/\"\/app\/\"/g' NextEnd.deps.json
returning,
sed: can't read NextEnd.deps.json: No such file or directory

Do I need to tweak the command?
Apologies again, I am finding this very confusing  

Thanks, Mark
