How to execute webgrabplus manually via docker?

Hi. I just installed webgrabplus and am trying to set it up. I installed it via the recommended docker compose file. Where I'm stuck is how to trigger webgrabplus manually via docker. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My docker container lives on a Synology NAS.

Thanks inaadvance for help!

Hi Brian, searching the forum there is a tutorial here: https://www.webgrabplus.com/content/tutorial-synology
Have a look

Thanks for the suggestion mat8861. The problem with that thread is it's for a synology install not docker. I'm looking for a way to manually trigger within the docker container.

Okay. I made some progress. I used the following command:
sudo docker exec -it webgrabplus /app/dotnet/dotnet /app/wg++/bin.net/WebGrab+Plus.dll /config

This gets me far enough to execute webgrabplus but I'm getting the following error:

---
/config/ doesn't exist!

correct the commandline parameter to match an existing path!

Excecution will stop!
For detailed info, see log file
Execution stopped
---

I also tried the explicit path of the config on my nas:
sudo docker exec -it webgrabplus /app/dotnet/dotnet /app/wg++/bin.net/WebGrab+Plus.dll /volume1/docker/webgrabplus/config/

But I get the same error.

What am I missing?

i guess you don't need /config, what is the correct path in docker? i would try
sudo docker exec -it webgrabplus /app/dotnet/dotnet /app/wg++/bin.net/WebGrab+Plus.dll /volume1/docker/webgrabplus/

Thanks mat8861. I tried "sudo docker exec -it webgrabplus /app/dotnet/dotnet /app/wg++/bin.net/WebGrab+Plus.dll /volume1/docker/webgrabplus/"

As you suggested. I'm still getting the same error.

i know you need to use the pguid and set a fixed mac....You may also find some post in the forum.

Thanks again for the help mat8861. Both of those are helpful resources, but not quite what I was looking for. I am able to get the container built and running without issue. I was looking more to how to execute webgrabplus manually when the container is running.

It turns out the following is the correct command:
sudo docker exec -it webgrabplus /app/dotnet/dotnet /app/wg++/bin.net/WebGrab+Plus.dll /config/

This works to manually trigger webgrabplus. Something so small but it seems that I need to have the trailing "/" after config.

Thanks again for your help.

Hope this helps someone else as well!
