    Jitsi?

    in Docker Engine

    I can't see where or how to change the log levels for each container in Unraid dockers or in Portainer. Can you give me the location for that please and thank you

    i have jitsi running on VM, so i don't know where the config file resides on this container. Usually all config files are on appdata config folder that is mapped to particular container. on my system there is a file logging.properties near videobridge config file, and you set .level variable to WARNING for example to log only warning level and above.

    according RAM usage - i don't notice any huge increase over time in my VM.

    restarted Jitsi from Portainer yesterday by this morning video.meet.jitsi was using 3GB of RAM. I restarted it four hours ago and the RAM has already risen to 1.04GB. All of this has happened with no calls or video meets.

    look at your LOG file sizes inside a container. by default, it logs all info messages. you should change log levels for each of container.

    i have some success with Jitsi-meet install on VM, or more precisely on Ubuntu LXC container under Proxmox.

    the biggest problem was to get it working with Apache reverse proxy. and i don't have video recording know, cos it looks like it must be installed on Linux with X server?

    It sure does give me some flexibility

    yes, it should work best, if your unraid drives are on separate controller. if you use motherboard ports, then there will be a problem to identify drives in proxmox VM.

    With Proxmox you could backup your environment and restore it very easy. Although maybe that is not true because I think UNRAID starts off from a USB key right? If that is true, I could take all hardware I use in a UNRAID box, move it somewhere else, and get up and running really fast if all the configs sit in a USB key and most of UNRAID runs in memory.

    you can do this on same hardware - if you decide to go bare-metal, just reboot your host, assign unraid USB flash drive as boot device and it should just work.

    and for backups - proxmox backup system will help a very little to unraid - you simply backup proxmox VM config, so you should set unraid usb flash backup and also setup another system for unraid data backup - full or partial, it depends.

    Is there some good documentation somewhere that is easy to follow to install UNRAID as a VM under Proxmox?

    see here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/82260-virtualizing-unraid-on-proxmox-604/

    the biggest problem would be boot from USB - i'm still using plopKexec method and it works just fine.

     

    but for proxmox host: this looks very promising and detailed:

    And performance wise you had no issue with UNRAID running as a VM under Proxmox?

    in my case i don't see any performance decrease - i'm running unraid as pure nas + some dockers, including Nextcloud, Plex, duplicati..

    4 x 3 Tb Drives for Proxmox in Raid10 using the motherboards SATA ports (to run VMs)

    i have no experience with AMD at all, but should work just fine. for VMs i prefer SSD, and in my newest server PCIe NVME drives, and i don't use any RAID, insteed i do regular backups for my other than unrad VMs to unraid over NFS.

    Talking about NICs, did you assign a specific ethernet card to you UNRAID? 

     No, i have 10Gbit nics and 1Gbit nics in my servers and i'm using them in Active-backup bond mode on host side. all my VMs have virtual nics only and thats working just fine.

    It is that I was considering assigning only 4 cores to UNRAID, leaving 4 to do whatever, assigning 1 to PROXMOX and that leaves 3 for VMs.

    if you go Proxmox or ESXi, you can assign more cores to VMs than you have total Cores available on server. just watch for usage - i think, your will never run at full speed all of your VMs at once. i have a 8 Core CPU with HT enabled, so host OS sees them as 16 CPUs.

    I originally was planning to install PLEX as a VM but..

    you don't need a GPU at all to run Plex, just avoid any transcoding. i'm running Plex as Docker on unraid VM and it runs just fine - i assigned max 6 of 8 CPU to Plex docker to not overload unraid VM itself, if in same case plex would start some transcoding. but i don't have any 4K content, 1080p/720p only, so i can do some transcodes to lower settings in CPU without problem.

    What made you decide to run UNRAID as a VM?

    i'm long time unraid user, and started using unraid when there was no option to run VMs on unraid itself. and for me, running simple unraid on one hardware looks like wasting hardware resource(see my sig for hardware details). so i started with ESXi, and my server was running for years on that configuration without any problems. if i would start know, i will consider an option to run unraid bare-metal and run another VMs on it. but for me ESXi looks more stable system over this years - you setup it and forget about it - it's very stable and can run for months without single restart. apart for unraid on bare-metal - if you need to change unraid version for example, then you restart you unraid and all VMs on it.

    i moved to Proxmox cos i wanted to try cluster with two servers - ESXi clustering are only on paid version only.

     

    if you have further questions, feel free to ask.

    Anyways, if any of you tried to run UNRAID inside Proxmox, did it work well?

    i'm migrated from ESXi to Proxmox about a month ago. Regarding unraid, all working as expected as it was on ESXi too.

    If you're planning to play with Unraid under Proxmox that should be fine but I wouldn't recommend it for long term use.

     

    I know little of Proxmox but I would guess that Unraid wouldn't have the right kind of drive access to safely "do it's thing" if running in a Proxmox VM.

    if you don't know, why you recommend then? what do you mean with "the right kind of drive access to safely "do it's thing""?

    looks like some bullshit..., sorry.

     

    Yes, unraid is no supported to run under VM, nor ESXi nor Proxmox. but many of us are running it on VMs just fine.

     

    Quick question on Virtualization esx - unraid vm

    does the VM server that comes with UnRaid allow VMware .ova formats

    sorry, don't know, i'm not using any VMs on unraid itself - all VMs are on ESXi side..

    I have assumptions now after I have been reading more:  I would have to use standard RAID that comes with the motherboard SATA configuration for ESXi Configuration.  I would also have to install a 2nd HBA for the UnRaid configuration.  

    if you plan use your RAID5 for ESXi datastores and then pass HBA to unraid VM - it should work just fine. i run similar configuration in past - i made RAID1 volume on motherboard RAID controller, and them RDM that volume to unraid and use it as cache drive.

    I guess there would be nothing wrong in doing this without any degradation?

    it should run near bare-metal if you have sufficient hardware. see my sig for example(to view signatures, you have to enable that in your forum profile)

    Can Unraid be a VM?

    Yes, i'm using it for years for now, i have two unraid VMs in one ESXi (free) server. and yes, this config is not supported.

    10 hours ago, 5STAR said:

    Also does the Unraid VM system load up .ova's?

    not sure, why it is needed. cos you boot unraid from USB and it runs completely in RAM. for storage you pass entire controller to unraid VM usually, but you can pass single drive too using RDM (raw device mapping). Virtual drives are supported too, i used one for docker image, but it's not a usual way.

    One of the reasons I am asking is most of the threads are 2015.. 5 years ago

    VMWare is so stable so changes are really small if any in these 5 years..

     

    BTW, i'm in process on moving my server to Proxmox - time will tell if i stay with that or no - first week up and running, but setup Proxmox is much harder than ESXi - so much more manual tuning available on Proxmox side, but then it's more flexible cos it's just pure Debian Linux.

    The only thing I can think of is there is a CPU temp error as they only display as 'Low

    this is normal for x8 generation boards.

    I am having an issue randomly the alarm sounds and the fans go full blast, but nothing is reported via IPMI.

    take a look at your fan's thresholds. if fan ran below low value, then server thinks its dead, and turns it on on full speed.

    adjust your thresholds with ipmitool or similar.

    too much? maybe, but also trying to keep myself busy and I don't see how it could hurt.

    i'm asking cos i'm using Active DACs with Mellanox PCIe card in my server - i changed 1M to 2M Active DAC recently, and right after a few minutes of work, port started flapping.. i resolved it by adding one more fan inside a case to low directly to PCIe zone. i'm wondering, maybe additional heat-sinks on ports would help a bit more..
