That was a lot easier than I braced myself for thanks

there is nothing in there, should I remove the directory may be? (/mnt/old/multimedia)

I am well aware and ok with why appdata, db, domains and downloads are unprotected. My issue here is "multimedia" being unprotected. When I hit calculate size on this share it tells me it is on "Disk 1" (mostly) and there is "6 bytes" on a share called "Old" Old is a "prefer cache" share (it is an old HDD that I use for temporary file storage, that I don't want to keep or save on the array anyway like torrents and stuff) Multimedia on the other hand is setup as no cache, and it never had cache. I probably manually copied many files in the past from "old" to "multimedia" tho. So this share is marked as not protected probably because of this 6B file right? But it is virtually impossible for me to locate what this 6 bytes is manually. I was wondering if there is a command or app or something that can tell me what this file is?

I was hoping to avoid doing this, with may be some DockerFile wizardy, that I can import/modify original container and publish it on dockerhub, that does not have this uid/gid requirement. I mean there are so many other containers writing into these persistent directories.

Hi, I am trying to deploy a container from https://hub.docker.com/r/sonatype/nexus3/ which should've been fairly straight forward exposing the port that is needed and a folder for nexus to create persistent data. When the container starts it crashes because it is unable to write into the data directory, which like any other directory belongs to "users:nobody" the container tries to write into this with a user "nexus:nexus" with uid/gid "200:200" and naturally fails. I've looked into the template and did some digging around the internet and this user 200 is hardcoded in nexus way too early in the process deep down inside build stages in "chef" (some details here if you are interested: https://community.sonatype.com/t/reference-to-configuration-properties-uid-in-docker-container/7765 ) There is a NexusOSS in community applications, but it is doing the exact same behaviour and I am not certain if it ever worked at all. There is a single question in the support thread and nothing else. It looks like someone copy pasted parts of CA auto generated template and left it there. Now I can run the container in privileged mode and this "may" solve the issue, but I really don't want to do that. I have also tried creating a user in unraid from cli, called "nexus" with userid "200" and belonging to "users" group, and that did not work either (also this again probably is not a nice solution) Anyone has any similar experience with containers? what is the best approach here? @linuxserver.io you got plenty of experience in taming unruly containers, any suggestions?

Today I randomly stumbled upon a folder that I could not view within a samba share. I could access to everything in the same level inside the same share just not this folder. Then i logged in with ssh and did a `ls -lha` in the folder to see: drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4.0K Jul 21 19:34 ./ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 84 Aug 10 01:30 ../ drwxrwxrwx 1 kali users 270 Jul 31 11:31 201005/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4.0K Aug 10 01:18 201006/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4.0K Jul 31 11:33 201007/ drwx------ 1 root root 136 Jun 30 01:22 201008/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 83 Nov 27 2016 201009/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 335 Nov 27 2016 201010/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4.0K Nov 27 2016 201012/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 305 Sep 6 2017 201101/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4.0K Nov 27 2016 201102/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4.0K Nov 27 2016 201104/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 61 Nov 6 2016 201105/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4.0K Nov 27 2016 201106/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4.0K Nov 27 2016 201107/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4.0K Dec 10 2020 201109/ ..... as you can guess the folder I could not access to is 201008 and for some reason its owner/group is root/root. Changing the owner/user of this folder via cli fixed my issue, but my question is can anyone think how this folders owner/user moved to root? And also there is another folder with owner: kali (which is my user I use from windows to login to smb) Can I do something to prevent this happening in the future?

if anyone else is interested in this in the future, I had to remove following lines for qemu guest agent (added by unraid by default i guess) <channel type='unix'> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> and add a virtio port for spice guest agent <channel type='spicevmc'> <target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='2'/> </channel> copy paste and auto screen resolution match will work after this.

Holy chimp! I can't believe I did not try this. The spice client connected and it is as fast as I am running the software locally virtually with no lag at all! Now all that is needed to do is figure out clipboard sharing!

I tried connecting to it using vncviewer at 192.168.0.26:5900 did not work. Pretty much the only thing that worked to connect to this machine up until now is "VNC Remote" menu item from unraid menu on VM. now I've changed the XML to spice, that does not work either.. it almost feels like something hidden is blocking the connection.. <graphics type='spice' port='5900' autoport='no' listen='0.0.0.0' passwd='password'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics>

Do you mean just download and use vnc viewer on 192.168.0.26 without touching the guest? or do you mean install vnc server on guest? I'd rather avoid VNC or nomachine if I can, but for the sake of testing I can.

I am looking at this page, and feels like I am missing quite a few steps. But I am unsure which ones unraid already did for me.

yes I can ping

@ghost82 thanks for the response! I am still unable to connect on port 5900, using the ip address of the VM. And as far as I can see inside the VM there is nothing listening on 5900

Hi, I think I'm doing something quite opposite of what many people are doing in the community. And I think what I want to do is quite simple but unfortunately I am quite clueless when it comes to KVM. I still struggle to understand which tech does what in this KVM/QEMU/spice combination. I have a windows PC that I use as desktop and I have a few linux virtual machines(mint, ubuntu and centos) on it that I run on Vmware for software development. I pretty much run the VM and open IntelliJ on it and start writing code, compile, test etc. Now I have a brand new unraid server with quite a few cores that I don't utilise, I want to move these VMs there. This question is not about converting VMDK to KVM but very much about the basics. If I can get a linux machine up and running and connect to that machine from my desktop, I think I can pretty much handle the rest. I've created a new Ubuntu 21.04 VM through unraid templates. Can someone give me a list of things I need to do/install on various machines? - on windows (my desktop) I've installed VirtViewer v10.0-256 and I guess that is pretty much all I need here? and apparently I'm supposed to do something like virt-viewer.exe --connect qemu://host:port alias // or virt-viewer.exe --connect sprice://host:port alias // but what is host here? is it the ip of unraid or the virtual machine that is running? // and where did I decide on this port? - on unraid, I've pretty much done nothing special, this machine has no graphics card (not even an APU) and I have no intention of having a gaming VM on here (at least for the foreseeable future) - on ubuntu (guest) I have "xserver-xorg-video-qxl" and "spice-vdagent-0.20.0-2" already installed. I also have QXL graphics card as: #> lscpci | grep VGA 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Red Hat, Inc. QXL paravirtual graphic card (rev 05) Do I need to install some kind of "guest tools" or "spice client" on this ubuntu? All I want to do is pretty much "remote" into this Virtual Machine and write code (clipboard sharing feels mandatory) Can someone help me out? or may be if this is a trivial task can you point me to correct resources and or tutorials?

@guy.davis on further note, I completely gave up on this "chia" side quest You can ignore/delete or leave(if they might be useful for someone else) the posts I've made above. I had 15TB of old slow HDD that I thought could use for this, but now decided it's totally not worth it. It has nothing to do with this machinaris project. In fact I think you are doing an excellent job of documenting and maintaining it.
