  1. I dont have any problems with shares.

     

    I do have a problem with Plex being visible outside my LAN - my port forwarding doesnt seem to work. Same hardware worked before the move to unraid6.

     

    SOLVED:

    port fowarding issues solved! Silly me.

     

    I have a BT HomeHub 3 modem with my Router on the DMZ of the modem as the router has better funtionality.

    However, the Modem dmz is by Name not IP address. When I upgraded the Router s/w, the name changed!.

     

    Might explain why my openvpn server  doesnt work as well!

  2. I'm testing this on an Atom 230 based server with 2GB memory (yes I realize that this is very under-powered, but it's a test server).  Even when I reduced the memory, I would still get a CPU still shortly after booting.  However, when I made the changes SchoolBusDriver suggested below, I was able to successfully boot, so just wanted to pass this along in case others see the same issue.

     

    Specifically I was seeing an error like this:

     

      rcu sched self detected stall on CPU[0] t=6000 jiffies g=1258 c=1257 y=429

      sending NMI to all CPU's

     

      xen:  vector 0x2 is not implemented

     

     

    I suggested the following and Tom has said they are going into the next release:

     

    1. Do not assign a set amount of memory to Dom0 and make syslinux.cfg look like this:

     

    label Xen 4.3.1 / unRAID OS
      kernel /syslinux/mboot.c32
      append /xen dom0_max_vcpus=1 dom0_vcpus_pin --- /bzimage --- /bzroot
    label Xen 4.3.1 / unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins)
      kernel /syslinux/mboot.c32
      append /xen  --- /bzimage --- /bzroot unraidsafemode
    

     

      c) Assigning more than one isn't going to make Dom0, write files faster to unRAID or make the VMs run any faster.

     

    I just had this error:

      rcu sched self detected stall on CPU[7] t=xxx jiffies g=xxx c=xxx q=xxx

      sending NMI to all CPU's

     

      xen:  vector 0x2 is not implemented

     

    after the system had been running for an hour or two. B3 ran fine. (i7, 6GB ram, xen with 4gb for tretflix vm)

    I will make the changes suggested

  3. If I set the media share to public it works with this command:

    tretflix shares add cifs 192.168.1.5 media

     

    I just need to know how to do this with a username and password. :)

     

    EDIT:

    Worked it out, finally! Going to see if I can get in contact with the author I hope he will improve the guide with a little more detail.

     

    To give an example, say you have the following user details for a samba share in unRaid.

    name: media

    user: brad

    pass: tretflixpass

     

    tretflix shares add cifs 192.168.1.5 media -u brad tretflixpass

     

    Hope that helps everyone.

     

    Hi - I had all this in my post #21 above...  :)

  4. My vm is on the cache drive in the xen cache-only share.

    My Media is on my unraid protected disks and mounted inside tretflix

     

    The only thing I am concerned about is that the plex data directory is within the tretflix vm and this could get quite large.

     

    All-in-all, it is working extremely well.

     

    Re adding spotweb/mysql to tretflix - I didnt bother in the end. I decided to beef up the nzb searches. I was using xbmc but I am now favouring Plex for most media. It runs on low cost/power devices and is wife friendly. The xbmc clients are now in standalone mode.

     

    Next to explore, getting OpenVPN client installed on tretflix...

     

     

     

  5. Upgraded from 5.0.3 to 6/xen and installed crashplan and now tretflix.

     

    I'm not sure how to set the paths correctly:

     

    === My old system ===

    I have my sabnzbd downloads pointing to /mnt/user/downloads

     

    for plex:

    music = /mnt/user/music

    videos = /mnt/user/videos/films, /mnt/user/videos/HD films, /mnt/user/videos/HD films2

    tv =  /mnt/user/videos/TV

     

    ==================

     

    Any pointers?

    Cheers

    Tony

     

    edit: found out - it was quite easy!

     

    tretflix shares add cifs 192.168.1.22 downloads -u user pass

    tretflix shares add cifs 192.168.1.22 Music -u user pass

    tretflix shares add cifs 192.168.1.22 Photos -u user pass

    tretflix shares add cifs 192.168.1.22 Videos -u user pass

     

    then

     

    tretflix storage set share /mnt/192.168.1.22/downloads

     

    ===============

     

    I wish it had mysql and spotweb installed, that is the only thing that I am missing now (unless I can get a good news indexer invite...)

     

     

    .... Thanks dawiki and tret for your pointers on here

     

     

  6. I now tried a completely different USB key which I formatted before, I copied the config directory from the old key and the complete contents of the download but still get the strange screen as soon as the bzimage is loaded, the screen changes to the attached picture

     

    Maybe your download is corrupted?  You can check the md5sum of the download zip file against the value on the Downloads page.

     

    Hi Tom, I now checked the md5 from the download I used for my 2 usb keys and the md5 value matches from the download. Anything I can do? STrange thing I used the same usb key in another PC and there it booted fine without these funny symbols. Could this motherboard have a problem with xen?

     

    this is the details from the working one

     

    Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. - X48-DQ6

    CPU: Intel® Core2 Quad CPU

    Speed: 2.133 GHz

    Cache: 64 kB, 4096 kB

    Memory: 6144 MB (max. 4 GB)

    Network: eth0: 1000Mb/s - Full Duplex

    Connections: Zero

    Uptime:

     

    I had something similar on a server recently....my (very old) video card was on its way out. I found this after I had sent the motherboard out and paid a "fault not found" penalty :(

     

    I replaced the the video card and all was good.

    Tony

  7. Excellent videos, thank you.

     

    A few of questions, if I may...

    1) Would it be worth waiting for the external /home tweak or can this be changed on the vm later?

    2) As the VM will be living on a cache drive, how would you back it up in case of disk failure? (especially if it is in use)

    3) In the scenarios above, could the home directory be on the raid and a script on a blank VM reinstall the apps and link to the settings in /home rather than backing up the vm?

     

    Many thanks for your work on this!

    Tony

  8. Oh yes! Looks like the tools that I need...

     

    So a 64bit linux base with docker, unraidVM and this would be 90% of my requirements.

    Probably just crashplan (native install perhaps?)

     

    https://github.com/GeoffreyPlitt/docker-pirateship

    =================================

    A pirate ship built on Docker.

     

    This project pulls several Docker'fied downloading tools and runs them in a Vagrant VM.

     

    Tools included:

     

    CouchPotato via https://github.com/GeoffreyPlitt/docker-couchpotato

    Headphones via https://github.com/GeoffreyPlitt/docker-headphones

    NZBmegasearcH via https://github.com/GeoffreyPlitt/docker-megasearch

    Sabnzbd via https://github.com/GeoffreyPlitt/docker-sabnzb

    Sick Beard via https://github.com/GeoffreyPlitt/docker-sickbeard

     

    Usage:

     

    vagrant up

     

    Then go to:

     

    CouchPotato: http://localhost:5050

    Headphones: http://localhost:8181

    NZBmegasearcH: http://localhost:5000

    Sabnzbd: http://localhost:8080

    Sick Beard: http://localhost:8081

  9. The docker tutorial is great!... also check out this youtube video and think about how it could be used for the "packages" we install in unraid (shipyard looks useful!)

     

     

    Tony

  10. Just to let you know that you are not the only one interested in Docker!.

    It would be great to have a 64bit host, Unraid VM with docker modules for couch, sb, mysql etc

  11. I have just started getting the same in my logs:

  12. If you are in the uk, get one or more nowTV boxes for 10ukp each. They are based on the rokuLT.

     

    You can then enter developer mode, load the roku plex app and away you go!.

    You might want to block updates at the router level so that developer mode doesn't get disabled.

     

    Working really well on my system

    A couple of people have mentioned but it has not been picked up as far as I can see....

     

    Shares/nfs keep dropping on 10. I notice it from my xbmc, everything plays fine (a movie). When it has finished and go back the menu to play something else... it doesnt connect. I have to reboot xbmc.

    My shares are mainly nfs with some smb.

     

    I thought that it was an xbmc problem but just noticed it on a win8 machine that is saving a torrent (legal obviously!) onto an smb directory - error after a while about cant find destination.

     

    Will roll back to 8a for more tests.

    Just to follow up... It wasnt rc10. It was my openelec build...... Now mounting nfs shares in autostart.sh in openelec and it behaves itself.

    Not sure why I also got an error on win7, may just have been a one off.
