Hello everyone,

I use FeeFileSync as Docker under Unraid.
In FreeFileSync I have created a task as a batch file and would like this task to be executed every hour.

It is possible via the User Scripts Extension, but I would need help in creating the syntax, which unfortunately is not explained in detail enough for me, as I am not a Linux professional.

I have inserted the following into the script:
docker exec -ti FreeFileSync /mnt/user/appdata/FreeFileSync/config/backup_paperless.ffs_batch

and get this error: the input device is not a TTY

It's probably just a small thing, but I would be very happy if you could help me.

Many thanks & greetings

You might try wrapping FreeFileSync with Xvfb, which you will need inside your docker container. It sets up a "X virtual frame buffer" which can also be called a dummy display.
