  1. So far your syncthing docker is working well except one thing.

    None of my clients see the syncthing docker unless I give them the static address but they still see each other over dynamic.

    Its not really a problem for me, it just left me scratching my head.

     

    Thanks for the feedback. Can you explain further? Are you not using the global discovery server (udp4://announce.syncthing.net:22026) and then taking out the dynamic in each connected device and putting in static addresses? I'd like to try to reproduce your issue.

  2. I'll admit I actually haven't tested on the recent betas/rc for this machine. I was looking something up and remembered I had wanted to request this module a while ago. Thanks for the response.

     

    Looks like you have another module taking up that device and holding it as busy. Are any other "sensors" modules loaded before f71882fg on your machine?

  3. Bonienl - I have been given some more information which may help me get the Fan Control script running on my Gigabyte H97N-WIFI motherboard but not being familiar with Linux, I don't know what to do with the information.

     

    I have been advised that the motherboard has an ITE 8620E Super I/O chip which has a standalone IT87xx driver available on the lm-sensors project. The catch for me is that the driver is uncompiled and resides in a compressed .tar.gz file. I don't know what to do with it to get it onto my unRAID install.

     

    Is there any chance you could have a look at this for me and advise if this is what I am looking for?

    The it87 module is already included in the unraid linux kernel. You just need to load it. If you have the "Dynamix System Temperature" plugin installed, go to System Temp under Settings and add it to the available drivers field (running Detect should find it and input it for you). If detect doesn't find it, then you probably don't have a chipset that this module supports. The next step would be to compile it yourself.

  4. To use Apple as an example. All thier community coded software has to be vetted and approved. Has that stifled development!?

     

    The moment unRAID requires applications to have their approval before it can be installed or used is the exact moment unRAID sees itself forked and completely opensourced by some in the community.

     

     

    Yep.

     

    Maybe LT could offer a "tested and approved" repository for those who do not want to trust the community or make their own. Charge a small monthly fee to those who want to use it to cover the cost of checking each docker. I'm sure some wouldn't mind paying a little extra for peace of mind and time saved.

     

    But no matter what, DO NOT take the choice away from me. One of the reasons I went with unraid is because it is a Linux base and you can do whatever the heck you want to it to make it suit your needs.

  5. What is your directory ownership and permissions of the troublesome directory? Is it [dwrxrwxrwx] 777 and owned by 'nobody' and group 'users' ?

     

    I searched the thread but did not see any explicit mention of it, but have you performed a filesystem check on the disks with the troubled shares?

     

    And that went over my head....

    If you will instruct, I will check....

     

    You never got back on this. It is possible that particular share is just set to read only and write is not allowed. Have you tried running "New Permissions" from the unraid tools tab on that drive?

  6. (3)  The Help button is nice; but it'd be nice if it "reset" to a cleared state when you switched tabs.  I was on the Dashboard and clicked Help to see what it would do ... answer is nothing.  Then clicked it again and it still did nothing.  Then clicked it a 3rd time and finally decided it really didn't do anything.  Clicked to a different page and Voila!!  There was help text displayed.    A few seconds of experimenting and it's obvious that the button simply turns it on/off and if it's on then you'll see the help on any tab that has help.    I think it would be more intuitive if, when you were on a tab and needed help, you simply clicked Help.  You could then turn it off (as now) by clicking it again ... or you could just go to another tab and it would automatically be turned off.

     

    I don't mind the way it works right now, but the help button would make more sense as a toggle like the "Advanced/Basic" view toggle on the docker tab.

  7. Clearly the drive has issues.    I'm not sure that pending sector count is real ... it seems more like an error in the reporting, since I doubt there are that many spare sectors available.

     

    I doubt the disk is going to list that number based on how many spare sectors it has. It likely will just try reallocating them until it runs out. No reason to limit that number based on how many spares are available as in that case it wouldn't be a true value for that field.

  8. Any tips on how to get to the bash of the docker to run lsusb on it so I can see if it's something else not working?

     

    use the "docker exec" command to run a bash shell inside a running docker.

     

    But as sparklyballs stated, every computer will most likely list that usb device in a different way. You will need to write some script to discover the correct device on its own. Or at the very least, give clear instructions on how the user needs to discover it and pass it through an environment variable.

  9. Hey I tried the zoneminder container - I can't get zoneminder to work with any of my cameras. I have a foscam and simple d-link camera. I even tried with the webcam app on my phone, zoneminder doesn't see any of these cameras. Regarding the foscam I am able to use the rtsp address to view it through vlc so I know it's correct.

     

    I'm new to zoneminder so is there something I am missing?

  10. Just a note on the internal update. So far each unraid update leaves behind a folder of the previous version on the flash drive, 68MB each. After a couple of updates that will fill up the flash drive on one of the default unraid sold 256MB ones.

     

    Not sure why it leaves more beyond one previous version on the flash, I would rather it delete previous versions instead of filling up my flash and causing a device full error, which would most definitely mess up an update. So keep in mind you might want to manually delete those folders after you have verified the update is working.

  11. How are we supposed to trigger updates?

     

    check for updates on the docker page of unraid webui

    Lol yes that. But what I am saying is in my own testing, after I have updated one of my dockers, this still shows "up to date" in unraid. My docker has been updated and the new build has been completed, yet unraid doesn't know about any update.

     

    I'm just trying to figure out what triggers it because I have seen an update to a docker on the occasion but it's not showing for mine.

    Also, I updated a docker once and it totally messed it up in that I had to remove it and install it fresh

     

    messed up in what way ? if an update messes up a docker, then that wasn't a very well designed docker.

     

    (hope it wasn't one of mine, lol.)

     

    It wouldn't even start. I had to remove it and then re-install it completely. It wasn't one of yours. ;)

  12. I thought I would add a question here instead of creating a whole new thread.

     

    How are we supposed to trigger updates? I have made a few updates to my dockers but the unraid docker tab never shows updates available. Is there some sort of manual change I need to make in the template to trigger an update notification in unraid?

     

    Also, I updated a docker once and it totally messed it up in that I had to remove it and install it fresh, how does updating work? If the base changes will it redownload the whole thing or is it only supposed to download anything that differs from the previous version?

  13. I have a syncthing docker working now that resolves the auto-update issues: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39910.0

     

    If you intend to maintain it in the long term, I'll drop mine.

     

    I do plan to maintain it in the long term. I am using it and have also set it up on my father's unraid machine. It will be one of my main dockers for as long as syncthing remains awesome so I will be keeping my docker around and updated.
