House Of Cards

Super simple... Thank you!

I noticed that the backup contains orphaned .XML files from old dockers I've since deleted. Any idea where those are located and being pulled from so I can delete them? If they are in the .IMG file itself, is there a way to clean that?

Thanks, but my need was much simpler. In the first line of the script I put the following which generates a random number between the applicable season range... # GENERATE RANDOM SEASON NUMBER season=$((RANDOM % (1969 - 1929 + 1) + 1929)) Then I modify the copy line to read... # ADD CONTENT TO PRODUCTION SERVER cp -R /mnt/user/"Television- All Media"/"Looney Tunes (1929)"/"Season $season" /mnt/user/"Television- Media Server"/"Looney Tunes (1929)" Been working like a charm. Each week it adds a different random season. There are quite a few use cases for this, but because there are like 40 seasons of this show, I can change it each week (new in Monday, old out Sunday) so you get a random classic cartoon in your television shuffle.

Syncthing is working great, but I added a large folder and I'm now getting INOTIFY errors, and the documents are telling me to increase the limit. Before I do that, what is the proper way to do this for UnRAID and the Syncthing docker container? Thanks!

Greeting everyone, I'm trying to configure TrueNAS as a backup for an UnRAID server. I'm struggling a bit, and I'm wondering if any of you can point me in the right direction? I have Syncthing installed on both, they are both communicating, and they are connected as devices to each other. I have mapped Syncthing on UnRAID to the location of the user shares (/mnt/user/share1). I have created separate datasets on TrueNAS to store copies of each share (/tank/backup/dataset1). HERE'S WHERE I THINK I'M BREAKING DOWN A BIT... On UnRAID, Syncthing in Docker uses a user "PUID" of 99, and a "GUID" of 100 for share access. On TrueNAS, Syncthing is set to use a "UID" and "GID" of 568. If I change the UID/GID in TrueNAS, the container doesn't deploy properly due to permissions. In the current configuration, I get permission errors when I connect the two directories. On UnRAID, I'm only setting the sync to push the share. I don't want Syncthing changing primary files/permissions. Can anyone point me to what I'm missing? I'm fairly certain it's a permission issue, but TrueNAS seems insistent on running as UID/GID of 568. I'm sure there is some simple thing I'm overlooking, but I don't want to make a worse permissions issue doing this incorrectly. Any help would be much appreciated.

BTW... This is pretty unhelpful. 😂 https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/users/

Hello, I am working on my backup strategy, and have built a second NAS for backup purposes. I have mounted the remote NFS shares in UnRAID (/mnt/remotes), but don't want to share them from UnRAID. All I want is to have Syncthing run as a user with full access to the files in my shares, and sync to the second machine (TrueNAS)... Well TrueNAS creates its own users... You can create a user there and set the UID/GID when you create the user... UnRAID... Not so much. When I initially created my users during UnRAID setup, it was "nice enough" to create those users with 1000, 1001, 1002, etc... Of course these now conflict with everything else I have set up on the network. This isn't a terrible thing day to day because we access everything with shares... but now for basic file sync outside the share functions, the UID/GID's won't match between the systems. Both systems share "root" with UID/GID's of zero. Any suggestions/caveats on how to do this securely? I could have Syncthing run as the root account so it is sure to copy everything, but I'd rather create a specific user for syncthing. The issue is that I don't see how to tell UnRAID what UID/GID to use. Is that even possible? Seems like basic server functionality to me, but it's not in the GUI as I can find. Any thoughts how to best accomplish this? Thanks!

Love this plugin.... Thanks @Squid for all your ongoing efforts... Maybe a script aficionado could help me modify this script? I do some overly tedious scheduling of media content from a location with everything in it, to a location with "active" content. This makes my media server constantly cycle in/out content so it's interactive. Works great, but I have a special case where I don't want to schedule 80 scripts... Don't laugh, but it's Looney Tunes, with like 40 seasons. 😆 Here is a basic script I would use for content in... # CREATE NECESSARY SERIES DIRECTORIES mkdir -p /mnt/user/"Television- Media Server"/"Family Guy (1999)" # RECREATE MISSING SERIES METADATA cp /mnt/user/"Television- All Media"/"Family Guy (1999)"/* /mnt/user/"Television- Media Server"/"Family Guy (1999)"/ # ADD CONTENT TO PRODUCTION SERVER cp -R /mnt/user/"Television- All Media"/"Family Guy (1999)"/"Season 01" /mnt/user/"Television- Media Server"/"Family Guy (1999)" I need to modify this script to create a VARIABLE between "1929" and "1969", and substitute that number for the season number in the copying commands. All the documentation I found on this is confusing, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Happy new year... I switched to UnRAID from TrueNAS some time ago... I'm looking for advice at leveraging the old TrueNAS system which is still very adequate for most tasks. My goal is to implement a backup strategy utilizing the EEC memory and hardware of the TrueNAS machine to keep a separate snapshot of the shares from my main UnRAID system... I have the Unassigned Devices plugin installed, and TrueNAS Scale is up and running on the network. My main question is whether you all have ideas about the best way to do this... specifically, which system to push or pull from? Should I mount a share on TrueNAS to UnRAID, or vice-versa? Does anyone have ideas about which system might have the best utility to SYNC the shares between the two? Essentially, I'd like to use something like RSYNC to periodically sync an UnRAID share to a TrueNAS dataset. Then let TrueNAS make periodic snapshots in case something needs recovery. TrueNAS can sync to cloud storage pretty reliably, so I can long-term store things offsite from there. Any advice/caveats? I appreciate the help... Thanks!

The issue with syncthing is that it isn't even meant for what you describe. If you have two laptops that you and the wife share, you can't even run syncthing for both users on the same machine to sync directly between the two laptops. Syncthing is a great tool as long as only one person uses each device. The fact that it isn't multi-user is a failure at this point. It's NOT a new project, and they haven't done anything to address multi-user environments... It seems like it's not even on their radar... Maybe you all have a better suggestion? I just want each user to have a folder on their machine which syncs with a folder on UnRaid. Why this seems to be something which requires a networking degree is amazingly hard to believe. LOL I tried Seafile, but it needs an external SQL database, and when I set it up, it seemed unreliable. Occasionally I'd find that the sync stopped happening for no reason (docker update, maybe?), and you'd have no idea. Rsync, scripting, remote access, all these "workarounds"... It seems like this is a common need with no simple soltion for those who want plug-and-play. So your options are a service like dropbox or mega.nz... None which are open source or local control. I'm open to ideas.... I'll look into traefek more also... Thanks!

I might look into something like Traefik down the road, but I can't even see the pricing on their site without signing up. I do see a need for remote access for media, etc... Maybe this could make that simple in my CG-NAT world? Right now though, I'm running into the same issues I remember from previous syncthing attempts. I need to make syncthing start on a shared machine using the port for that user... The fact that syncthing is setup like this is frustrating as hell. It reminds me of the Windows 95 networking password. Where you just clicked "cancel" and accessed the stuff anyway. LOL

1e9cf4b97e32 My remote access has grief; I'm using CG-NAT so the IP is shared with other cellular users. I have yet to figure out that aspect, as I don't have a real need for remote access anyhow. It's on the back burner though on my to-do list. I've always been mystified that Syncthing sticks to this single-user design. It really cripples the software. So I'm only needing this for three people. They are the only accounts with storage on my network anyway. They don't "need" to know their User ID. I can just create bookmarks with their ID's in the port, and password-protect the Syncthing GUI. That's the server-side thinking. After that I'd need to multi-user the individual machines instance also. The single-user model is really over-complicating this as usual though. Unfortunately, everything else I've tried has its own problems. I'd like to get this up and running. In essence, I'm just trying to sync one share per user on UnRAID with multiple laptops/desktops for each user. So their folder stays up-to-date with what's on the server share.

Good evening, Since Syncthing isn't multi-user, I'm thinking I need to create two Syncthing Docker containers (one for each user), and give each a different port number. Correct? For port numbers, I could use the Linux User ID. Ideally, I'd like Syncthing to run and be accessed using that ID as the port, but I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong. When I change the port to something other than 8384, Syncthing can't be reached. So, for example, if Joe was user 1234, I'd like the docker instance to run on port 1234, and Joe to access the Server_IP:1234 to see his files, and set up sync for his stuff. User Stacy's Docker could be running on port 4321, and access her files from Server_IP:4321. Questions.... 1. Does that sound reasonable, and which do I change to the variable port I want? Should I use the default "Bridge" network, or my custom network where other dockers reside? Best practice-wise? I appreciate the advice on getting more than one instance of this running.... Thanks!

I created a folder in the plugin data at /boot/config/plugins/folder.view/icons. Icons in there... Then I pointed the folder icon variable to that path and icon name...

This is the answer... Unlike the previous version that automatically stored an icon you browsed for, this version requires you to make a location on your server for the files, and type in the path... I was hoping this wasn't the only way, but I ended up making a folder on my flash drive for the icons.
