    [Support] Linuxserver.io - COPS (Calibre OPDS PHP Server)

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    Is it possible to pwd secure it as I've managed to do with COPS? If not, I'll probably put that off until I've managed to get some better security set up.

     

    Thanks, CHBMB!

     

    I use AI Reader on Android and it allows specifying a password when adding an OPDS library as I did for COPS: http://unraid:6060/feed.php.  I haven't tried using a password with COPS because my security is via openvpn or ssh tunnels but the underlying tech appears to support it.

    Thanks for making this happen!

     

    I've got this up and running just fine with its external port on 8092.

     

    I've got kids in the Army and at college, and they want to be able to read books, too. Since they're not at home, how do I set this up for some sort of external access without just opening my server up to whatever little script kiddies are out there lurking?

    I know how to poke a hole in the firewall, but how do I secure it?

    Is there any provision for username/password anywhere?

    If not, does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about making that work?

     

    Enable ssh tunneling on your unraid box open sshd server.  Recent versions all come with sshd baked in.  Then forward a firewall port to your unraid server's ssh port which is 22 by default.  Then when you ssh into your unraid box from anywhere in the world you use ssh port forward tunnels to access any web interface or other ports like COPS.  Might require a bit of googling but it works well and is very secure as ssh is highly encrypted.  :D

    Problem combining 3 1TB drives onto 1 4TB drive with rsync

    in General Support

    Posted

    Replacing 3 old 1TB drives with a single 4TB.  Started by replacing one of the 1TB's with the 4TB and letting Unraid rebuild the data.  That worked fine.  Next I thought all I had to do was:

     

    rsync -av /mnt/disk<old1TB> /mnt/disk<new4TB>

     

    That ran for a while with lots of output but I can see some folders were not sync'd onto the new 4TB.  Is there a gotcha when doing this between /mnt/disk<n>'s and having user shares?  I did a mv of a small missed directory (between disk mounts again, not user shares) and it worked fine.  Was hoping to do use the safer rsync method though.

     

    No errors in log so I must be missing something fundamental.  Any ideas?

     

    I followed the "safer method" here:

    Corsair TX650 PSU + APC Back-UPS 1500 Pro = FAIL

    in Hardware

    Posted

    People just need to be aware that using none Sine Wave UPS's "can" damage some active PFC PSU's.  I wasn't until I started having issues, posted and read sgibbers17 reply and then did more research.  Luck is a factor so YMMV.  In my case it was a Corsair TX650 and the APC1500.

     

    A quick Google shows folks with Corsairs not working with non-Sine Wave UPS's.  For example this case which mirrors my experience.  As I've learn't, if you don't want to potentially damage your PSU (mine used to work fine with the UPS) and rely on luck, get a pure sine wave UPS.

    Damn,

     

    It looks like the Corsair TX650 will eventually be damaged by running on these popular UPS's.  My UPS hasn't even powered the Corsair for long without mains power, but now as soon as the UPS switches to battery, my unraid machine locks up.  Things used to be fine, but now the shortest glitch takes out my (14 green drive) unraid machine.

     

    Are there any recommended PSU's that work well with a "Stepped approximation to a sinewave" UPS or do I need to right off the almost 2 year old UPS and get a better one?

    Here's the boot log with some interesting stuff in it following the last failure.  Of particular interest:

    Hi,

     

    I've recently started having lots of issues with my unraid box locking up.  So I setup a telnet tailing syslog to see what is happening and it appears to be MVSAS related kernel panics: http://pastebin.com/mQZiBeuR

     

    Here's my syslog after re-booting following the last lockup: http://pastebin.com/d8AbS7g2

     

    I've run a couple of memtests with no issues and reseated all the drive power/SATA cables.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Justinkas,

     

    Hopefully if Tom decides he has too much going on in his life to keep Unraid going, he`ll open source the driver and I`m sure the community will take it and run with it.  However its obvious it is still a popular product despite the George R R Martin release schedule and associated complaints ;), so I can`t see him walking away from easy 4.7+ $.

     

    People upset with the schedule should shit or get off the pot and find another solution.  That`s the only way things _may_ change.  If enough people did that, the forums would slowly die, and then Tom would see his business model wasn`t working.  Until that happens, which I doubt, business as usual.  :)

    Problem upgrading parity to 3TB after installing 5rc12a

    in General Support (V5 and Older)

    Posted

    Thanks all.  I left it off all day as I read responses, then booted it up when I got home from work which kicked off another parity rebuild.  Log following the parity rebuild start is here:

     

    http://pastebin.ca/2376729

     

    It looks like Murphy has struck and disk6 (WDC WD20EADS-00R6B0) is failing (8 weeks out of warranty).  I tripled checked the cables on all of the drives and they are good.  A Smart check shows this on disk6/sdb:

     

    197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0032  200  200  000    Old_age  Always      -      44

    198 Offline_Uncorrectable  0x0030  200  200  000    Old_age  Offline      -      14

     

    So disk 6 definitely appears to be the issue.  My big question is whether I should bother trying to get parity rebuilt with it?  My crappy alternative is to buy another 2TB drive ( :( ), swap disk 6 out, and then upgrade to the 3TB drives I have.  Ideally parity would rebuild on my new 3TB drive on one attempt and then I could just swap the 2TB disk6 with another already precleared 3TB drive.  Or can the errors on drive 6 and the missing parity drive cause a "bad" rebuild?  It's still chugging along despite the errors so I'm thinking it could finish if the planets align (trying to be a glass is half full guy).  Also the fact that it somehow finished a parity check yesterday on 4.7, tells me it can occasionally cross the finish line. :)

     

    Thoughts?

    I would seriously advice anyone holding off on using rc10 because the word final is not in the title to install...

    Disagree strongly.

     

    More people using it gives more information on success or failure.  More information spread across more hardware platforms and with different usage patterns will generate more input for Tom which may help in resolving outstanding issues.  Equally, more successes will give greater confidence in the stability of the software.

     

    There will be some who see a risk in using a software not named as final.  But that will always be true and that is their choice to make.  On the other hand, most of those that have used version 5 release candidates know just how stable the software is - Very.

     

    Is it just me or are you guys disagreeing that you believe the same thing?  ;D

     

    Helmonder says install if you haven't just because it doesn't say final and I *think* that's what you say also S80_UK?

    I personally consider cache_dir a must have, as do many unRAID users. I'm pretty sure the majority of unraid user have it installed, and i'd go as far to say I wouldn't use unRAID if it didn't exist. With around 40 drives between my servers, having all my drives spin up everytime I want to access my main share is not healthy on the hardware.. and that's what happens for me without cache_dirs.

     

     

    I do not know what this cache_dirs thing is? Can someone explain this to me? Are you saying without this plugin installed, the core functionality of unraid to spin down and up drives does not work? That is how it reads and I find that hard to believe.

     

    Here you go.
