Installation: Linux: unRAID

From https://github.com/jef/streetmerchant/discussions/1428#discussioncomment-233296 by @rmp5s

So...you wanna unRAID it up, eh? Well...ya gotta ask yourself..."do I feel lucky?" Well...do ya?

Just kidding. It's actually really easy. Hahaha

Here's how to install the Docker container and customize it to your needs:

First up, to install it, the good @kiowadriver took care of that for you. Here's how to do it:

Prerequisite:  Firstly you need to be running unRAID ver 6.0.0 or later, once installed follow the instructions below...
Navigate to "Docker" tab, then:

1. Enter in a URL of https://github.com/kiowadriver/unraid-docker in the "Template repositories" field
2. Click on the "Save" button
3. Click back to "Docker" tab and then click on the "Add Container" button
4. Click on the "Template" dropdown menu and select the desired Docker image
5. Click the "Advanced View" toggle on the top right and fill in required fields e.g. volume data, environment variables etc
6. Click on the "Create" button at the bottom of the window to begin pulling down the Docker image

Once the image is downloaded you should see it appear in the "Docker" tab.

So, at the bottom of the "Docker" page in unRAID, there is a space to enter the repositories URL...

You'll paste the URL there. Then, you click "add container", then that container from the dropdown at the top.

This will open up a window full of all kinds of stuff, but you really shouldn't need to mess with any of it in order to get it up and running. If you want to customize it, here's how to do it:

In the "normal" way of installing it, you have a .env file that contains all of your settings. If you open that up, on the left of the equals sign, you have the variable, and on the right of the equals sign, between the quotes, you have what we'll call the key...

In that case, a "variable" would be "SLACK_TOKEN" or "SHOW_ONLY_SERIES" while a key would be "amazon,bandh,bestbuy,newegg..."

(Minus the quotes, of course.)

This is all you need to customize your new Docker container. At the bottom, notice there's an "Add another Path, Port..." button...

Click it and you'll get a window like this:

In that window, at the top, click the dropdown and select "variable". Then input your info. In this case, "SHOW_ONLY_SERIES"...

...and click "add". That will give you a new item at the bottom of your "add container" page. Just plop in your "key"...in this case:

And that's it! That's all it takes! I THINK this works with all the streetmerchant variables, but I know it works with Discord, show only series and gmail alerts.

So yea...happy unRAID-ing!!! 😁
