[Feature, I guess?] Icon for the unRAID template #27

After #24 has been implemented, I've started creating the template.

unRAID allows you to set a picture as the icon for the container. I can always pick something, but would you like to do the honors? Most projects are targeting only Docker, so they obviously use some Docker-related icon. Normally you'd just use the project's official imagery, but there is none for this one yet.

I've tried to come up with a bunch of them for this one, but other than literal wall sockets to represent a UNIX socket, I'm out of ideas. Stuff like this one:

(I haven't looked up its licensing yet, but this is just an example)

Other silly and literal possibility I thought of: combining a socket and a shield. It's the best approximation of a proxy.

Hi @andrebrait,

thanks for the great idea with the icon. I really like the image you posted. But the license could be problematic indeed.

What do you think about this:

I also like the idea with the socket and the shield, but I'm no designer and Dall:E didn't exactly do what I wanted ;)

The only problem I see with those line icons is that they always have issues with either light or dark modes, so I'm trying to go with a flat, colorful design instead. Something along the lines of:

(I like this one due to the wires before and after the sockets, though not the easiest ones to see in dark mode)
