Few people realize that a QNAP NAS is much more than Network Attached Storage. QNAP provides their Virtualization Station and Container Station applications to enable QNAP devices as virtual application servers.
QNAP announced back in June 2021 that they were going to support LXD containers in Container Station and obsolete LXC containers by the end of 2021.
This presentation looks into the differences in LXC and LXD containers and also addresses Docker containers in QNAP Container Station.
During the video, we learn that Portainer can be installed on the QNAP NAS to add a supplemental Docker management GUI:
docker volume create portainer
docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer:/data --name portainer portainer/portainer-ce:latest
We also learned that we can export an image of a LXD container to a TAR file and also import an LXD image.
lxc export video-LXD-Test /share/Backups/video-LXD-Test.tar
lxc import /share/Backups/video-LXD-Test.tar Imported-LXD
In my example, I point to /share/Backups which can be accessed in QNAP file station.
