[convert bat to .sh (Solved)]

Thanks again for your help 

[convert bat to .sh (Solved)]

hey jonathanm 

 

Thanks for getting back to me i didn't need to change the vm parameters as i have two different scripts on unraid (one) win10-retro.sh (two) retro-win10.sh   

 

I just tried that but it comes back as

"unable to open connection

temporary failure in name resolution"

 

Not really sure why that is coming back as that As i can ssh into the unraid sever via putty no problems.

 

any other ideas?

Cheers Tinni

 

 

[convert bat to .sh (Solved)]

hey all 

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong place,

 

I have a script setup on my unraid server and a bat file on my windows vm that shuts down my win 10 vm and starts my ubuntu 20.04 vm up via ssh but i cant figure out the correct way to do it with ubuntu so to shut down ubuntu vm and start win 10 vm.

 

The bat file used for windows is 

 

"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe" -ssh  -pw  password root@tower  "/mnt/disk1/scripts/retro-win10.sh VM-1 VM-2 > /dev/null &"

 

How would i convert this to being able to use it in ubuntu?

to achieve the same out come as windows double click shut down ubuntu start up win10.

 

i have putty installed on ubuntu, Im new to the linux world and still learning.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers Tinni

How did you get quick sync going?  I've been having a hard time getting it going myself.

So far I have edited the go file to include "modprobe i915", added "--device=/dev/dri" to the docker container's extra parameters, and added the lines -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -vf format=nv12|vaapi,hwupload to the additional command line options.  Did I miss a step?  As far as I was able to find that should be everything required.

I added this line to go file on unraid using CONFIG FILE EDITOR from CA.

 

# enable iGPU for docker use
/sbin/modprobe i915
chmod -R 0777 /dev/dri

 

Which you may not have to do anymore but i couldn't get it to work without adding it.

then i added these line's to ADDITIONAL COMMANDLINE OPTIONS / Custom FFMPEG Options in Unmanic. ( I would suggest reading through http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Options )

 

-vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128
-vf format=nv12|vaapi,hwupload

 

Then i use hevc_vaapi setting for Video Encoder under the video encoding tab in Unmanic  which lets me make use of the quick sync.

I would also download intel-gpu-top & intel-gpu-tools from CA.

 

Hope that help cheers Tinni.

Hey @Josh.5 

 

Just wanted to say thanks for your hard work. I've been running unmanic for 7 days now and its brilliant at first it was tricky getting quick sync running but all working perfectly now. Previously i was encoding/converting via handbrake file by file this has just made my life 100% easier and a million times faster.

 

Few things i would like to see in future build if possible 

• A way to initiate scan with a button-press. / a pause/stop button 
• A over all folder Size Comparison decrease / increase  (if possible) 
• A log page under settings would be nice 

Thanks again tinni

[Open files plugin correct or incorrect (solved)]

On 9/17/2020 at 1:14 PM, Squid said:

They are meant to be running.  /var/lib/docker... is the docker.img file, and will always have files open so long as the service is enabled (Settings - Docker).  This won't however cause all drives to be spun up, as the image file itself will be contained onto a single drive (usually the cache drive)

thanks Squid i gathered as much but wanted to double check now to figure out how to make a nextpvr docker lol

[Open files plugin correct or incorrect (solved)]

Hey all

 

I am just curious im new to the unraid world and learning as much as i can but i think i may have messed up somewhere along the line with dockers and containers. I think i now have a stable working unraid but i have noticed my array is always spun up and i installed open files plugin and i noticed a few things running with all dockers stopped and im not sure if they are meant to be running or its something i have done in the past to mess it up im running unraid 6.9.0-beta25 and using dockers ( emby, sonarr, radarr, deluge, couchpotato, jakett, embystat, sabnbz, krusader ) i've attached a screenshot of the files in question 

 

any help would be much appreciated

 

thanks tinni 

[Unraid tower upgrade help/advice]

Hey everyone

 

I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my unraid tower 

 

Current set up 

 

Motherboard: Foxconn H61MXL-K

Cpu: Intel® Pentium® CPU G630 @ 2.70GHz

Ram: 6 GiB DDR3 

Hard drives: 

1 x 1tb seagate 

1 x 2tb western digital

1 x 3tb seagate 

1 x 6tb seagate 

 

Been using this set up for about a year as a Plex/emby setup to play my Blu-ray's on a local network on the Xbox 1 and fire stick without a partiy drive or cache drive

 

But now after testing unraid and seeing it works for my needs I have now purchased a key and want to upgrade to a more powerful stable and reliable machine but with a few more requirements.

 

so basically now I want to run:

 

A Windows 10 VM general use 

(e.g M.s office, web browsing, emails)

 

Plex and emby running side by side 

Emby will always be played locally

Plex will be for remote use 

Maximum users would be 6

not all at once maybe 2 users simultaneously occasionally

 

a cloud for all my photos and video's

(Phone/smart cam/drone)

 

And maybe open hab for smart home 

 

So after realising my system is pretty pants I decided im going to build a whole new set up motherboard, cpu, ram etc. 

 

I have a budget of about £500 

 

I'm already upgrading my drives to wd red and adding a parity and cache drive.

 

So my questions are:

 

Should I use a Intel or amd CPU?

(I'm thinking intel) 

 

Any recommendations on cpu?

(I'm thinking intel i5 8th gen) 

 

Do I need a graphic card or can I use the HDMI port onboard for the windows 10 VM? (22inch Acer pc monitor) 

 

Any recommendations on a decent motherboard ? 

 

Looking for a full ATX board as this will be going on a wall not in a case 

 

(ASUS Prime Z390-A?)

 

Also is it possible to use the m.2 for a cache drive?

 

Thanks everyone 

 

Tinni
