Any chance of adding a cron option? Running it every x hours/days/weeks with no user interaction and the results added to the table. I wouldn't mind repeating this on a schedule to monitor the average speeds from my ISP. Just an idea! Thanks

Here is my current Vortexbox xml, I honestly cannot remember but I think I may have edited it post initial setup to improve performance. Things like changing the virtual disk drivers back to "virtio" <domain type='kvm' id='4'> <name>VortexBox</name> <uuid>3f5c5613-71c2-7589-5b5f-563ae2438247</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate name="Custom" icon="fedora.png" os="fedora"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>1048576</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>1048576</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> <locked/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='1'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.3'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/VMs/HDDs/VortexBox/vdisk1.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdb' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='virtio-disk1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci.0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:db:d5:64'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/VortexBox.org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='disconnected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <alias name='input0'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5901' autoport='yes' websocket='5701' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='en-us'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='vmvga' vram='16384' heads='1'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain>

I will really try to get this done over the Christmas break! I am sorry that I have been such an absentee here

Unfortunately I do not have the time to dedicate to this Docker at the moment, I PMed the linuxserver.io team about taking over the container but I have heard nothing back: I understant the linuxserver.io team are prob busy and possibly non interested in this Docker Container but if anyone would be interested in taking it over, I would be much obliged. I am genuinely sorry I cannot offer much time to it myself but I am completely taken over by work at the moment. Thanks All, The Capt.

Great job, I have no particular love for the original logo myself!! Feel free to make something completely different from the spirit of the original!! I will get around to changing the logo soon, I am currently away on holiday!

@zapp8rannigan Use with caution Proceed @ your own risk: You could just add /mnt under "Volume Mappings" for the container Eg: Container Volume Host Path Access /mnt /mnt Read/Write Then navigate to wherever you want (eg: /mnt/user/Dropbox) within the container. Caution: you have now given this container Read/Write access to your whole unRAID array: I will not be held responsible for any file loss, house fires etc. etc. (I mount /mnt myself, but I do not have it as a default setting in the container.xml to avoid problems caused by users!!) Best of luck, The Capt.

@smakovits Just a post to say thanks, because of this recommendation I had a look at the Emby/Kodi paired solution and was incredibly impressed. I am now running Emby-Beta Container from HurricaneHernandez and the Emby for Kodi addon on my OpenElec Isengard Beta 2 HTPC and have removed the need Kodi-Headless and MariaDB Containers. Works great! Thanks, The Capt

I agree with above, no need for K version of chip. I will have to look at S versions however. Any other chips to be advised? I was looking @ Intel Core i5-4690 just because I saw garrycase mention it in another thread!! Any advised on MoBo? is the ASRock Z97 EXTREME6 a good bet? Any more efficient way of getting similar results? Is IPMI worth the investment?

Thanks jonp! P.S: congrats on such a successful v6 launch.

Thanks jonp. I misread that info. I thought that if I booted from another (minimal) PCI graphics card for unRAID it would free up the Intel Graphics for a VM.

@Ashe: Intel Ark seems to list all Virtualisation technologies under each CPU: Intel i5-4690 and Intel i5-4690K is "Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)" not what I should be looking at?

Warning: Very long OP, I have been thinking way too much about the joys of upgrading!! Nearly 2 yr ago I stumbled across unRAID when my old Freecom network drive died. I needed network storage fast and cheap, so I bought a 2nd-hand PC to convert into an unRAID box: What €150 bought me in 2013 (a complete 2nd-hand PC for sale): Case: Antec NSK6500: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129015 PSU: Antec SU-430 430W: http://www.hardwareinsights.com/wp/antec-su-430-review/ MoBo: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2NSLI_Deluxe/overview/ CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (AM2): http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=52 GPU: ASUS ATI Radeon EAX 1600 PRO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121549 ***GPU removed, replaced cheap with 8MB PCI Graphics Card for unRAID*** RAM: 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800 RAM (Generic Cheap RAM) ***upgraded to 8GB (4x2GB)*** to this system I added (will carry all these forward to new build): Flash Drive: Cruser Blade 8GB Parity: WD Red 3TB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236344 Cache: SanDisk 64G Sata III SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171645 Storage: Disk 1 : WD Red 3TB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236344 Disk 2 : WD Red 3TB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236344 Disk 3 : WD Caviar Green 1TB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136317 Disk 4 : WD Caviar Blue 500GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136784 ***Drives 3 & 4 were old drives lying around the house after some PC upgrades, all other drives were new*** I am now unRAID obsessed and have migrated friends and family members to it. I run approx 10 Dockers since early unRAID v6 beta days: BTSync DDClient Couchpotato Sabnzbd FoldingAtHome KODI-Headless MariaDB ruTorrent Tonido Ubooquity and 2-3 Virtual Machines TVHeadend VortexBox XP (for TeamViewer access to home network) It has been 2 yrs, .... I really want to get more into virtualisation: ... I need an upgrade!! What I was thinking, (based on some of what I have been reading in the forums) is the following: Case: Currently unknown (might keep current case until I get more €€€) PSU: Need advice on good performance/value mix (750W I reckon) MoBo: ASRock Z97 EXTREME6: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157500 CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 / Intel Core i5-4690K : Advice Needed RAM: 16GB+ DDR3 (8GB x2) **add more in future when i have more €€€** GPU: Cheap PCI GPU for unRAID (pass intel GPU on to VirtualMachine) As you can see, I have very little ideas yet!! I liked the look of the Asrock Z97 Extreme6 due to 1150 socket, plenty (10) SATA III ports, and great price but I would love any advice CPU: I saw the above, Intel Core i5-4690 recommended by garrycase. What I want from my new build: I would love to add a proper GPU when I get more cash and turn this into my Desktop/Gaming PC (light enough gamer, do NOT need ultra settings) via a Windows 10 Virtual Machine with IntelGraphics and Dedicated GPU. All advice, comments, beratement welcome!! Thanks (sorry for VERY long post), The Capt

I was just looking through your cups DOCKERFILE and I think all of the above has already been added!! If so, please disregard all I said!! (and possibly think of adding "Cloudprint/Airprint Supported" to the container description to stop fools like me bothering you!!) Thanks again, The Capt!

@gfjardim Any interest in 1. Adding Google Cloud Print to your cups Docker Container?: Here is the guide I used (including a PPA for ease of use) when setting up a raspberry pi as a CUPS print server. http://davesteele.github.io/cloudprint-service/index.html Maybe map the config file to a Docker exposed volume? 2. Adding iOS Airprint?: Again I followed this guide to add Airprint to Cloudrprint and CUPS on my pi: https://rohankapoor.com/2012/06/configuring-the-raspberry-pi-as-an-airprint-server/ Especially since unRAID 6.0.1 has added USB printer support, I would love to free my RasPi for other projects! Anyway, thanks as always gfjardim! The Capt Edit: see below!!

With closed ports you can download but not upload. You want to open the bittorrent connection port (in this case 45566) in your routers settings. This is the case with all bittorrent clients (especially on linux based systems) This is not a docker specific issue but rather an issue to be fixed with your router. Read more here: http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/p/f/What-Is-Port-Forwarding.htm

From OP: Glad you guess it anyway!

@blu3_v2 A quick google of "rutorrent sickbeard" gave some guides, best place to start. They will be more indepth than anything posted here. Glad you like the docker! The Capt.

Lol I put mine back up as an interim!

I will take down my version of DDClient as you have merged all the fixes/changes to your version and you are back around the forums again!! Prob should have taken it down a while ago, sorry about that!! Thanks smdion!! The Capt.

RuTorrent includes a Web based Scheduler plugin. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38698.0 Personally, I would have EDGE=1 to make sure you have the most up to date plugins for it.

Do you have your ports forwarded in your router settings?

Thanks for moving this, the subheading of the Defect Reports subforum reads: "Post bug reports and feature enhancement suggestions here." That is why I thought it was the correct location for it. Thanks, The Capt.

@BRiT & @dmacias Thanks a million for the info folks!! I will try qemu-img from the commandline. Still holding out hope that we will see it return in the webUI in the future in some fixed form!

Thanks BRiT, Is this a publicly reported decision by LT or do you have inside info? (I don't remember it being listed in any release notes) Hopefully it will return soon!! The Capt.

Incase anyone is wondering what I am talking about; this is a screenshot I pulled off the now depreciated VMManager thread: You can see the option for snapshots (new snapshot(plus sign)/revert to snapshot/delete snapshot) in the options under the stopped ubuntu VM. Was a great idea for when you wanted to test major changes to a VM that you may later regret or to create backups of virgin systems when perfectly set up. Anyway great job all, current VM-Manager is going from strength to strength and I would love to see snapshots return!!
