CrashPlan for Small Business is exceeding inotify's max watch limit.

[macclinic]

I'm running docker-crashplan-pro on Synology DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 2. I have message in Log: CrashPlan for Small Business is exceeding inotify's max watch limit. I checked current watch value = 8192. I tried to edit /etc.defaults/sysctl.conf but no luck (No nano in DSM). My questions are: 1. How to increase watch limit? 2. How to access GUI http://my_ip:5800 can't open page? 3. How to upgrade to the latest docker-crashplan-pro? I'm new to this but I'm enjoying. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, macclinic

You should have another edit tool accessible from the terminal... maybe vi ?

1. How to increase watch limit?

You really need to edit /etc.defaults/sysctl.conf. See https://github.com/jlesage/docker-crashplan-pro#synology-1.

2. How to access GUI http://my_ip:5800 can't open page?

Look at container's settings. You have a place where you can map a port on the host to port 5800 on the container. You need to use this mapped port when accessing the UI.

3. How to upgrade to the latest docker-crashplan-pro?

You need to update the container image. See https://github.com/jlesage/docker-crashplan-pro#synology.
You can also install https://hub.docker.com/r/containrrr/watchtower, which takes care of seamlessly update your containers.

@jlesage @macclinic,
I just added a script to automatically update the file during boot. Hopefully this is useful for you as well:
