    Aarch64 Docker Containers?

    in Docker Engine

    Posted

    Has anyone been successful at getting a ARM64 container running on UNraid? The reason why I ask is because Ubiquiti dropped support for x86 on the UniFi Protect platform and went strictly to Aarch64 for the last 3 years but someone managed to compile a Aarch64 container that’s available for use.

    Anyone running headless XBMC on Unraid V6

    Some have. Mainly you will need a IOMMU compatible setup with a AMD GPU since those are the easiest to passthru to a VM guest.

    tallnerd1985, not sure I understand why I would need a GPU for this. I don't have a GPU installed on my Unraid box at all to keep it as lean as possible. XBMC Salud is headless and the purpose of this is to run XBMC without any graphical interface for the sole purpose of only doing library scans to the central Mysql DB.

     

    My bad, overlooked the "headless" part

    Hold off until later this month when the different ChromeBox models come out. More than likely, we will see OpenElec builds appear for it in no time. Granted its only a celeron CPU with a HD4000 GPU, it should be able to handle any video format along with any skins on it. I have a Foxconn AMD E-350 HTPC which by all means is slow as shit but it handles XBMC without any issues and any media format thrown at.

    That little thing would be perfect for OpenELEC or even a full Ubuntu/XBMC install. The Celeron they use in it is better than the one in the NUC too.

     

    I am going to pick one up and dual boot with OpenELEC and SteamOS if possible. That'll should last me until Nvidia decides to release a Shield Console then I will move to that.

    Do you have a link to more info on this shield console? When I google it all I get is stuff about the handheld device.

     

    Nothing concrete yet, it was hinted last year during a press conference that they may decide to build one but it's not looking too good as of late. I think I might end up doing one of those knockoff android TV box and use both XBMC and LimeLight from XDA.

    Btrfs hands on: An extremely cool file system

    in Lounge

    I wonder with BTRFS if a person can dynamically add a HDD and issue similar commands to add the disk to the RAID without destroying it and recreating it

     

    Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk

     

    if you mean BTRFS RAID than yes.

     

    BTRFS have built in RAID functionality a direct replacement for Linux MD RAID and LVM

    you can create a BTRFS Volume spanning multiple devices in Raid 1/10/5/6 configuration. you can even have no RAID multi device spanned volume aka LVM style.

     

    best part , you can add device on the fly without stopping the system (providing you have hot-plug support on a hardware)

     

    I had setup my test server(work in progress hence the test  part)

    using OpenSusy 13.1 using  BTRFS /root  on 1TB HDD  as system drive

    after all install and update I added second 1TB HDD and expand the volume to it

    rebalanced/convert to RAID 1 setup (not 100% though as I am not sure how to setup grub to boot from either HDD, but it should be possible or so I have heard)

    it did all that on a running system. I did not have to reboot or even log-off.

    I was using the system the whole time doing other things like web surfing

    and setting up my second NIC.

     

    To make sure I am understanding this correctly. If I setup a Volume over 5-6 disks using a JBOD/LVM type setup then when their Raid5 becomes stable, I could theoretically rebalance/convert to Raid5?

     

    And to clarify/expand on my last question. If I already have a Raid5 volume with 5 disks and let's say I want to add another 1, I could do that unlike ZFS or conventional Raid5?

    Is there any protocol to mount a share from Dom0 and DomU without using NFS or SMB? I would Google it but unsure of what terminology to use to find it.

    Nope. If it existed I'd have used it.

    Are you sure, after researching a bit, it seems like iSCSI or FCoE might be the way to go for block level sharing along with the Xen Block Attach method.

    Never crash before x64. Therefore i do not believe its hardware related.  But i really love the Xen tools and do not want to go back to the 32 bit system =(

     

    We are in Beta... Bugs / Issues are going to pop up that need to be addressed and fixed. Hence, the discount for a second unRAID License Key for those of us who have more than one server.

     

    If this is a production machine, wait till the next release to see if some / all of the bugs you are experiencing are worked out.

     

    i was afraid of that answer lol. Sad but true.

     

    Funny thing is I have the same exact setup from TAMs Solution 24-bay server with:

     

    unRAID with Sabnzbd+SickBeard+Plex

     

    Ubuntu for MythTV PVR

     

    Windows 7 for Assets Server

     

    No crashes yet

    OpenXenManager

    in Virtual Machines - Xen

    Posted

    doesn't look like it

     

    You need pygtk
You need ubuntu jaunty or debian unstable (glade 3.6 and libgtk 2.16)
You need python-gtk-vnc

Install rrdtool for graphs

To launch openxenmanager:

python window.py

Please visit #openxenmanager in irc.freenode.net to talk about alpha version
Or send me mail to [email protected] with "openxenmanager: " subject

     

    Those are the client side dependencies for the GUI for whatever OS you use to tap into unRAID.

    tried this as well, same error

     

    kernel = 'hvmloader'
builder = 'hvm'
memory = '2048'
disk = [ 'file:/mnt/cache/VMs/Windows.img,hda,w',
'file:/mnt/cache/VMs/Windows_7_Ultimate.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
name = 'Windows7'
vif = ['bridge=br0, mac=01:23:de:ad:be:ef']

vnc=1
vncviewer=0
sdl=0
vcpus=2
usbdevice='tablet' 
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart

     

    Did you first create the windows.img for the cfg to use?

     

    # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/cache/VMs/windows.img bs=1M count=40960

    I am not seeing that setting under the network settings page: Bridge and Bridge Name... is there a way to make it visible. i can see the setting in the network.cfg file, just not in the GUI.

     

    So i setup xenbr0 in network.cfg and rebooted:

     

    also get this when trying to launch VM

    In Ubuntu.x86-64.20130424.pygrub.cfg did you make sure to point to the location of the image?

     

    Along with the webgui, did you update to the latest webgui?

    Xen WebGUI

    in Virtual Machines - Xen

    Posted

    I know this is probably a little too soon to implement but since the Xen cfg files are pretty straight forward as far as format goes, how hard would it be implement a WebGUI to create VMs from scratch or start/stop a VM without using CLI?

     

    I would imagine a user would setup a /Xen and /ISO share then the GUI would have options to set parameters for CPU cores, memory, ISO to use, etc, etc (maybe even PCI assignment once the tools become sophisticated enough) then hit "Create" to make the config file.
