Hi Guys. I have written a couple of scripts. These will download custom vm icons and gui banners from a website repo to a choosen folder on array. Then install them from there into the vm manager, by rsync to /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/templates/images Before we used to add them to flash drive and copy with the go file as server started. Well now with Squids great user script plugin we can copy them after boot from the array. My plan is for us all to be able to create custom icons and share them through these scripts with other users. Please create any icons and upload them somewhere. Then post a link here in this thread and I will add them to the website repo. Hopefully us building a “community vm icons” If you would like to see what is there so far please goto Icons www.spaceinvader.one/unraidvmicons/ Banners www.spaceinvader.one/unraidbanners/ For example usage of an icon. I made this one (I know not great, but you get the idea!) Having the nvidea logo in the windows icon I know this vm is the one I have passed through my 1070, not the vnc one. There are 2 scripts that make this work. 1. Icon_banner downloader This script has 2 settings. First setting, to download all icons in category folders to a choosen location on the array. From here user copies the icons he or she likes to in that directory called store. From store script 2 syncs these icons with vm manager on array startup or manually Second setting, the script downloads all icons without category folders straight to the store folder and then rsyncs them vm manager with no user control (ie you cant pre select icons synced with this setting) This script also downloads custom banners to separate folder The script also has push notification for either pushover or pushbullet. So when new icons or banners are downloaded server will send a message telling you how many new ones have been downloaded. No message will be sent if nothing new downloaded. 2 Icon sysnc This script runs to rsync the downloaded icons which user has sorted into the store folder. This is done automatically on array start or manually. I have created a video showing how to setup and use below. I hope you guys like this idea. Scripts are also in zip attached to this post ready for user plugins.

4K native Advanced Format disks are the future and adding support for them would only enhance compatibility with today's 512e disks. Please see this thread: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45368.0 where I do some testing with a 4Kn disk and find encouragement as I prepare it for inclusion in an unRAID array, only to fall at the last hurdle when the array won't start, rejecting the disk silently. I see no reason why 4Kn shouldn't be trivial to support as it's just a simplification of the 512e kludge. Confirming that this feature was added in unRAID 6.4.0-rc8q.

Well I know what we will not do: browser-version-specific work-arounds.

My bad. Getting my threads mixed up.

.fuse hidden happens when fuse has a brain fart and is delayed for some reason in deleting a file. They do eventually disappear. Some people have problems with using user shares with plex I don't and others don't no real answer as to why

Hello and welcome! I don't have direct experience with that motherboard, but I can offer some general answers: * do you think all component will be compatible for unraid. Yes, they should work. * since i'm not going to do vm on this computer i3 would be enough ? also for ram An i3 is fine for a basic NAS with a few Dockers. You mentioned Plex though. Do you want this machine to support Plex transcoding? How many streams? Also, you could probably do this build with 8GB of RAM. 16GB is fine, but honestly 32GB would be overkill. * Also would lsi it mode 8x would fit with this motherboard ? They should be compatible with that motherboard. If your question is whether it will fit physically without any obstructions, I'm not sure. That happens, but rarely.

10k Passmarks is quite a lot, and could potentially do everything you want... But pragmatically an 1151 CPU might not work out well. Dockers seem to run pretty well in the big sandbox model - i.e., dynamic provisioning, no CPU pinning or discrete memory allocations. But VM's haven't worked as well in that model under unRAID and most people wind up giving performance sensitive VMs dedicated cores. If you had a 4 core 1151 CPU you'd want to set aside 2 cores (with their corresponding hyperthreaded vcpus) to add up to the 5,000 Passmarks you'd want to run unRAID, some Dockers, and a couple of transcoded streams. That would only leave you 2 cores for several VMs including a Win10 that I assume would be performance sensitive. It might work out fine, but if you need to statically provision those VMs for performance you're going to run out of cores. If it were me (and I freely admit to liberally applying overkill ), I'd go with 6+ cores for your use cases. I'm more comfortable with Intel than AMD, so for me that would mean socket 2011 (Core i7 EE or Xeon E5/7). I'd probably go with an E5 and ECC RAM, looking at something with 6-10 cores, which also gets you faster clock speed than the monsters with 14+ cores.

I found this article on a blog site that explained why this isn't working in the latest version of unRAID http://kicherer.org/joomla/index.php/en/blog/48-automatic-hotplugging-of-usb-devices-for-libvirt-managed-vms It appears that when you run a command fired from a UDEV rule, the rule waits for the command to finish before completing the event such as mounting or attaching a USB device. This is why my attach command kept failing as my USB device wasn't attached when it ran. The clever blogger was able to workaround this issue by using systemd to run his command. Unfortunately, unRAID is based on Slackware which still uses init so I instead wrote 2 scripts for each USB device. One to attach/detach the device and another to call that script. My UDEV rule now fires the 2nd script which calls the real script. The call script looks something like this #!/bin/bash /boot/config/attach-keyboard.sh & disown The key is the call script includes "& disown" which will run the script in the background and disassociate it from the shell. Theoretically I should've just needed the "&" but it still didn't appear to work without the disown. This allows the UDEV rule to not wait for the script to finish running before attaching the USB device. I'm sure there's probably a cleaner way to do all of this, but this is what has been working for me. I'm going to try and write an article on my blog and will post a link when I'm done. In the interim, if anyone needs more info on how to automate USB Hotplugging for VM's, I'll be more than happy to help.
