modus

I'm new to Docker, but I'm trying to deploy some containers that will need to read and write to a network shared volume. I'm hoping to run things like Navidrome, Immich, and an Arr Stack. The containers are on Ubuntu and my network volume is on a qnap machine. It is discoverable from Ubuntu without issue.

Do I need to mount the shared volume in Ubuntu or can I just refer to it in the Docker Compose file?

I know I need to mention the location of the volume in the Docker Compose file, but I'm not sure how to write that. How do I include the un/pw information for the NAS?

I read about bind mounts in Docker's documentation. Is that what I want to use? Again, how do I include the un/pw information? I'm not sure how to use the commands.

The volume path for the navidrome folder is //tiger-nas/music/music for example.

I appreciate any help.

I have a pihole server on my network. It used to block the ads on my roku's homescreen and only empty placeholders would show up.

I bought a new Roku player and it doesn't seem to have any of the ads on the homescreen blocked by the pihole. Configuring the "secret menus" doesn't really do anything, as far as I can tell.

Does anyone have any updated methods for blocking ads on the Roku homescreen?

On a technical level, how is TikTok being blocked/banned in the US?

Can I still sideload the app to my phone? Is it only being banned from the two big app stores? Is there a penalty for being found in possession of the software on US soil?
