Thanks a lot! Installed a docker from Community Application Plugins and soon after was able to configure it properly. Could be an offtopic in this thread: is there a playlist capability in daapd docker? Will I be able to use playlists from my original iTunes library or at least see something like "recently added songs"?

Thanks darkside40! I wanted to install this docker by locating it in linuxserver.io templates, but it is not there and I'm using this repository: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-templates I got UID and GID by using id -u and id -g commands for the root user. I used root credentials to create those folders.

Hi! I created a docker using the following command in CLI (is there a way to create it using the template?): docker create --name=daapd -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v /mnt/cache/docker/apps/daapd/config -v /mnt/user/iTunes -e PGID=0 -e PUID=0 --net=host lsiodev/daapd My log looks like this: ----------------------------------- _ _ _ | |___| (_) ___ | / __| | |/ _ \ | \__ \ | | (_) | |_|___/ |_|\___/ |_| Brought to you by linuxserver.io ----------------------------------- GID/UID ----------------------------------- User uid: 0 User gid: 0 ----------------------------------- We are now refreshing packages from apt repositorys, this *may* take a while Update: OK Jan 27 20:42:38 Tower syslog-ng[60]: syslog-ng starting up; version='3.5.3' Jan 27 20:42:39 Tower dbus[61]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.Avahi' Jan 27 21:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[85]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 27 22:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[88]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 27 23:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[91]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 28 00:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[94]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 28 01:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[97]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 28 02:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[100]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 28 03:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[103]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 28 04:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[106]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 28 05:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[109]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 28 06:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[112]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 28 06:25:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[115]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )) Jan 28 07:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[188]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 28 08:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[191]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) 1) I don't seem to be able to find where forked-daapd.conf is, so that I could turn off ipv6 2) When I open Apple remote on my phone nothing is appearing in the log 3) I created /mnt/cache/docker/apps/daapd/ folder myself, but it is empty and nothing is appearing there either 4) On my desktop PC, in iTunes, LS.IO Music showed up and I can select it but it says: "LS.IO Music" has no music. What I'm trying to achieve is I would like to store my iTunes library on unRAID and be able to use either iPhone and Remote App or Apple TV to playback music from my library. My desktop has syncthing running which synchronizes iTunes folders between PC and unRAID. I would appreciate any help regarding the setup and configuration. Thanks in advance.

http://lime-technology.com/gaming-on-a-nas-you-better-believe-it/ That might help you. Yep, that's where I got here from. I should have asked a question on how to connect multiple displays to a single unraid. I'm thinking of installing elec and connecting 2 TVs to unraid by using long HDMI cables. Was wondering if I could use videocard's outputs for separate VMs or if I have to use a dedicated videocard for each VM.

Sorry for maybe a dumb question, but how are you guys connecting to VMs, especially those that are supposed to be for gaming purposes? VNC, RDP, long HDMI cables? I approached an an article about gaming on Unraid and couldn't find how it was connected and tested.

Thanks Jonathan! Is there a way I can integrate those somehow?

Using a wireless bridge is just one of the options. I don't see why AC Wi-Fi cannot be used for streaming without utilizing other network devices. So my questions are still the same. Are there drivers in Unraid that will allow me to use PCI-ex Wi-Fi adapters? How to configure Wi-Fi network on Unraid?

Let me try to revive this topic. I'm currently using CAT5E running between my unraid server and my network switch. Since, I'm going to upgrade my Wi-Fi infrastructure by getting the latest AC router, I was wondering if I can use a PCI-ex Wi-Fi adapter such as the one recommended in the previous post: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320173 It's not that I'm trying to substitute my wired connection, I'm only interested in benchmarking and finding out if it would be feasible to utilize AC standard for heavy media files (like 50-60Mbit/s ones). I'm mostly concerned about slackware support of aforementioned adapter as well as other similar ones.

How do I move data from old server to a new one with only 1 unRAID Pro license? If I pull out a data drive from an old server, will I be able to connect it to a new server and copy files from it?

The reason why I wanted to run Win7 VM (or XP or is that I was hoping to use MKVTools, tsmuxer to remove/reorder unnecessary audio/video/subtitles from downloaded files as well as converting DVDs/Blurays using MakeMKV. Currently, I use my PC for downloading and muxing/conversion/renaming.

Thanks for your replies! Can anyone shed some light on using i5 2500 for my anticipated tasks? Do you guys do torrenting directly on unRAID? Should I spend more money and get better and newer CPU? Besides running 1 VM, I will be using LogitechMS and Plex dockers. Also, since I don't have 2 licenses for a PRO version, I believe the only method to move all data to a new server is to use the dock station? I'm thinking of buying 2 5TB HDDs (currently my parity drive is 5TB) to start with 1 Parity and 1 Data drive and move all my media disk by disk. Do you know of any better solution?

With this plugin, will I be able to start watching in the living room and then continue where I left off in my bedroom? I'm using 2 MINIX media players with KODI installed on them.

Good day everyone! First of all I'm very pleased being a part of unRAID community for over 4 years now. Been very happy with my unRAID Pro server ever since I installed it. Ok, while having virtually no issues with the box, I still decided to update my V5 server to the latest build and revamp my hardware too. My current setup consists of disks of different capacities totaling 34TB+5TB parity. It's all running on PC with the specs in my signature. I also have a motherboard left from my previous rig (ASUS Sabertooth Z77) which I would like to use in my current server chassis. I'm thinking of buying i5-2500 and 16GB of RAM to complete the build and use my older 1420SA HBAs to connect the drives, besides using all 10 SATA connectors on the board. I would appreciate if you guys could answer the following questions in regards to my endeavors: 1) Will the hardware specs be sufficient of transcoding 2-3 Plex streams while using Transmission or any other torrent app simultaneously? 2) Can I run Win7 in KVM virtual machine to use it for occasional media sorting, renaming, remuxing, moving to an array? Will my specs provide an adequate performance for this mentioned VM, while not impacting Plex or general access via SMB? I'm thinking of dedicating an HDD outside of array to use it for Win7+torrenting 3) What would be the correct upgrade path? I'm assuming I can follow this steps: Unplug all data drives from my old server -> replace the hardware -> install unRAID6 on my existing flash drive, while preserving the license key -> add 1st HDD to use for my VM needs and add SSD cache drive -> install VM, test if everything works -> connect all drives, including parity and let the unRAID to build the config 4) Since V6 uses brtfs, should I think of somehow moving all my data somewhere else, reformat all drives and then copy the entire library back? 5) Should I replace my 1430SA's? Are they supported in V6? Is it a bad idea to utilize all on-board SATA connectors or it's better to get an HBA card with bunch of ports? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I came across a weird error with unRAID. Everything worked fine until I tried to update my YAMJ jukebox (consists of index.htm and Jukebox folder in the root of the share). I realized that I cannot access Jukebox folder, neither from windows via share, nor from console via MC. When I try to open or delete the folder everything freezes for a short period. When I first noticed the problem, I wanted to restart the server with unRAID and I tried to do it using the button in the main menu (I don't have any plugins installed), but the restart process froze so I had to force it manually, which eventually led me to mandatory parity check - finished without errors. I tried to set the permissions but after half an hour it still at this step: "processing /mnt/disk8 ... chmod -R u-x,go-rwx,go+u,ugo+X /mnt/disk8" for the drive with this folder on it. I also cannot save the syslog because it apparently consists of huge amount of the same records and it'll take a lot of time for the syslog to be displayed. I'm attaching the screenshot of it though. What can I do to get rid of that folder and possibly fix the filesystem errors, which I think may have been an issue? Thank you guys for your help! ---- Followed the instructions from here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Check_Disk_Filesystems Ran both reiserfsck --check /dev/md8 and reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/md8 Everything seems to be ok with filesystem, however I still cannot do anything with the troublesome folder ---- This time I was able to catch the syslog. ---- Rebuilding the tree using --rebuild-tree switch fixed the issue. syslog_5_19_13.zip

Thank you guys for your answers! Yes, those two drives were connected through the same splitter to different HBAs though... As soon as I opened the case and started to juggle the power connectors I noticed that the splitter was bad and I switched it. However, I started having problems with PSU - it takes like 10 times to press the power button to turn the thing on so I figured it's gonna die pretty soon. I think I will replace the PSU (OCZ 700Watt) and then will go from there. Not really a question for this topic: should I look for PSU with the most number of SATA power connectors or splitters are still not that bad? Which one would do the job for my configuration in my signature (Make/Wattage)? Thanks again everyone!

Hi, I setup unRAID about a month ago, precleared all drives, added them to the array, defined the shares and became a happy user. After about 30 days of uptime I noticed one drive became disabled. It had "sde" label. When it became disabled, the label changed to "sdn" and the number of errors increased to couple hundreds. I did the recommended procedure - stopped the raid, turned off the server, changed the sata cable, deselected the drive, started the array without it, stopped the array, selected the drive, started the array and waited for rebuild process to finish. Label became the old "sde" and everything worked fine for 3 days, then I noticed 2 errors and drive became disabled again. After I started the rebuild process it becomes disabled after 20 minutes, and I have to do restart rebuild couple times in order for it to finish. Should I just replace the drive (however the smart report is normal)? Can I just take the drive out and rebuild the array, recalculate the parity (I have about 5tbs of free space on the array and the drive is 1.5tb)? Why label changes and how important is the order of letters? What would happen if I connect this drive to motherboard or other free sata port(now it's connected to HBA card)? syslog_5_5_13.zip

Thanks for reply, Joe. Yes, sdc is the 8gig flash drive. Like I said, IDE device is recognized in the BIOS and I never changed the IDE settings since I installed it and all previous OS could work with the drive with no issues. However, I can stop the parity sync (it was my first time adding devices to the array and first parity sync) and change the required settings in the BIOS, but what are those? Edited: Found this old thread here on the forum: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4159.0 Does it mean that the IDE controller on board is still not supported? MB is in the HCL though...

Hi All! I started my home media server and progressed from Win7->Nas4Free->WinServer2012 to unRAID Pro. Very satisfied with what unRAID can offer comparing to other solutions for home storage necessities. While I was preclearing the drives (11 drives) which took me a little over a week (been running 4 processes simultaneously, 3 cycles each drive), I was reading the forums and FAQs and was able to successfully install virtualbox, simplefeatures and play around with other features. After the process finished I noticed that one of my drives is not recognized - 320GB PATA drive - which I just received after RMA. It is recognized in BIOS and works just fine outside of unRAID server, however it is not visible in the web interface and is not available for preclearing either. My motherboard is Supermicro C2SEA, drive is plugged into the onboard 80pin socket. Please help to add this drive to the array - I was thinking to use it mostly for torrents and temporary data. Thanks in advance. PS Running the 5.0-rc12a stock, syslog attached PPS I noticed that devices have names sda, sdb, ... up to sdl, but sdc is missing from the sequence. Could it be that IDE drive or it would have a different name since it's not SATA drive or is it a flash drive? I played around with freebsd (Nas4free) couple weeks ago and 320GB drive was visible and working fine, so I assume no settings in the BIOS need to be altered. syslog.zip
