| # 4 Save this script somewhere else on your zpool, not in the Docker dataset | |
| # 5 Edit line 24 and 25 of the script, set paths to the Docker directory and zvol you created | |
| # 7 If this is NOT the first time you run this script (updating to new location/zvol): | |

May I ask what your reason for changing Line 21 from Post-Init to Pre-Init?
Well spotted! Since the script mounts the ext4 filesystem if it's not already in fstab it needs to run as early as possible.
New zfs version has overlayfs support natively baked in btw :)
Yeah I just noticed! Super awesome! 😃Looking forward to using it on a stable SCALE release.
Sources indicate it also fixes about 75% of the CPU load issues on SCALE Apps as well :)
Wonderful :) would be worth revisiting the Docker Compose TrueCharts app by that time. It really is comforting to know that one exists for when this Docker hack stops working.
@Jip-Hop - I'm on RC 1 now - I only needed to add the "storage-driver": "overlay2", to the HEREDOC section of the script and everything seems to be working. I did not have to create, format, or even mount an extra zvol.
EDIT: Maybe worth noting, I started with a fresh docker-dataset after I changed the storage-driver.
Great! Thanks for testing and reporting. Didn't expect overlay2 support to be included so quickly. Then I know what I must do when SCALE 22.12.0 is released next month. Glad I can drop the ext4 workaround.😄
From a docker level this should be the only required change.
Though this also means one of the primary reasons not to go with SCALE Apps (performance issues) are also solved for a large portion as well.
I'm back to using the script by tprelog now that I've updated to Bluefin. No need for the ext4 zvol :)
The alternative way of running docker, based on systemd-nspawn is available for testing! 😄
Please vote for this issue: Support for systemd-nspawn Linux Containers (jails for SCALE).
So we have to make our own scripts to "hack" what ix-systems has designed.
If you (or anyone) has useful scripts to enable Docker/Portainer on TrueNAS SCALE then please post them here. 😃

SCALE Apps refers to the complete apps system for TrueNAS SCALE. GUI and backend.
It's fully kubernetes backed and does not 'point' to native docker.
