RE: Minimsever update won't run
Greetings to all. I am experiencing the same problem.

Yesterday, MinimServer suddenly stopped working on my QNAP NAS. It wouldn't start at all. A look at the error log suggested a Java issue (MinimServer expected a newer Java version), so I first tried reinstalling Java, but there was no newer Java version within QNAP. For a variety of reasons, I run only "certified" programs on the NAS, so I couldn't just install an "outside" Java pack. After some digging, I realized the native install might have been broken or incompatible because of a recent update.
To get things running again, I set up MinimServer inside a container. I really knew nothing about containers and since yesterday, I know a lot more (though not nearly enough.). Anyway, that has done the trick so for, MinimServer has launched properly and started indexing as expected.

Good new is: it is currently running.

Now I'm not sure whether running it in a docker container makes any real difference? Pros and cons? I don't notice any performance issues yet, but of course, I have not been able to listen to a lot of music yet. For now at least it is back up and working.

Question: can I try out whether it's running now without the container as well? Now that I have it run in the container, not sure whether I should try to run it "native" again.
