im sure there is a command line for docker to do that.. but you can go into the settings of crash plan and tell it how much cpu to use. I guess my problem is crash plan is a CPU hog. What I really need is a scheduler the that will allow me to give crash plan 90% CPU for specific hours of the day. Like Midnight to 5am and Noon to 4pm. I've looked at some of the properties files and I cannot see where those settings are held. Anybody have a clue? You should be able to set Crashplan for a time period when back-ups can occur. I use the windows client tunneled in through telnet and it works. Just set it up as you need. Just be careful if others set their back-ups for different times, they may never occur. Got it. That is the easy way. But I always do things the hard way. What I want to do is always have crashplan running. But throttle the CPU available to it during my peak usage times. I found out how to do part of it. The setting is located in the my.service.xml file The value I want to change is: <idleThrottleRate>30</idleThrottleRate> The idle value is always used on Linux So I want to make a script to go into this file, adjust the value from 30 to 90 when I want it to go fast and vice versa when I need my expect heavy usage... So these commands will change those values: #FAST sed -i -e 's/<idleThrottleRate>30/<idleThrottleRate>90/g' /mnt/user/appdata/crashplan/conf/my.service.xml docker restart CrashPlan #SLOW sed -i -e 's/<idleThrottleRate>90/<idleThrottleRate>30/g' /mnt/user/appdata/crashplan/conf/my.service.xml docker restart CrashPlan What I do not know, is how to run these two sets of commands when I want to... I am not sure how to create a script or where to put it if I want a script to run. Any ideas? [ *************** EDIT ***************] Never mind all of that. My issues was CPU usage. I got it sorted by correcting the Crashplan settings for Dedup and Compression. Now she is humming along at low CPU utilization. Thanks again!

what upload speed are you getting? What hardware are you running?

Nevermind this... turns out I had one important device not attached to my UPS... my network switch... that way the only message that went out was the one when power was restored. Sorted. Nothing to see here

Re: Apcupsd I have this installed via unmenu. I don't think it's working right. I only get emails when power is restored. Should I be using a plugin instead? If so, where can I find it?

Is there a way to bound crash plan to one cpu? I have 2 CPUs and I want to run at 90% without crippling the whole server. I am trying to speed up the initial upload to crash plan.

Glad you got it working. I am synching 3+TB. It's gonna take a while. I had it syched up from my PC before and I hoped to get it running headless without having to re-synch. But somehow I screwed that up. Either way, running headless will be soo worth it in the end.

Agree totally. I watch original files on my popcorn hour in the theater. but I need to copy scaled down versions to my plex library folders. the issue is not just the capability of the client. its also the size of the file. Even if the client can direct play 1080p5.1ch mkv's.. my wireless network stinks at streaming files of that size. Not to mention 90% of the time my network is streaming Dora the Explorer... which is just fine at 720p2chAAC.

Before I request a docker. Does anyone else have the situation where they transcode SabNZB .MKV files to .MP4 (x264, 2 channel aac) files? I stream to Rokus so I want all my files to be nice and easy for Roku's to consume via Plex without transcoding (DirectPlay). Do I need a new docker container to get this done? Or is there a nice post processing script I can run on SabNZB to accomplish this?

LOL! Yes, but if you need Wine... Create a Windows VM. What command line / Web App Windows program could you possible run that doesn't have a Linux equivalent? QLOUD Media Server. It's the Android equivalent of AirVideo.

How about WINE?

It looks like its working. 60% through synchronizing block information. I'll report back. Thanks so much for this container. Its just what I needed.

I cannot tell if it is working. Is there somewhere I go to launch the Crashplan GUI? Also.. the name of the container appears to be random no matter how I change the --name switch
