Multiple Docker Containers Same NAS

Channels DVR Server
#1

I currently am running two instances of Channels DVR. Both are installed on a Synology DS220+ NAS. One is using Docker, but I am considering running both inside of Docker.

Questions:

  1. What benefits are there be to run both installations Channels DVR inside of Docker?
  2. What do I need to know about moving my non-Docker install to Docker?
  3. Can I do an export/import to make creating the 2nd Docker instance easier?
  4. I'm using ports 8089 and 8189. Does the second Docker container become 8289?

Thanks!
Rob

Why are you running 2 channels instances?

#3

Yes, see the docs: Channels Support - How do I move Channels DVR Server to a new computer?

You pick the port when you set up the container.

I do that on my two Synology NAS's.
Running the Channels DVR server in both a Synology package and a docker container.
From my experience if you use TVE, run that on the Synology package.
When I ran my TVE source in a docker container, chrome was constantly getting corrupted.
