A little hint. docker exec -t -i 37fcc75e886d /bin/bash You can just put the docker name where "37fcc75e886d" is.

You're right. Install W10 directly and then record the key and uuid combo for future reference.

I think I tried changing that too and W10 stays activated. I've got the W7 to W10 upgrade pretty much nailed down. - Use the Microsoft tool to create a W10 iso. - Create a VM and install W7. Turn off automatic updates during the install. - Shut down the VM and change the install iso to the W10 iso. - Restart and run the W10 install. I've been picking to not keep anything. Once you have the VM created if you make note of the uuid you can delete it and then create a new one using the W10 install iso directly. When creating the VM uncheck the start after creation box and edit the xml after it's created. Paste in the uuid and then start the VM and do the W10 install.

Nice, using the uuid is the key to keeping the activation. I screwed up my W10 install with a bad driver so I deleted it and created a new VM but copied the uuid from the old VM into the xml. The new W10 VM install came up activated. Dan - I would upgrade them all and record the uuid for each install. Then you can switch some back to W7 installs. In the future, to "upgrade" one of the W7 install to W10 you delete the W7 VM and create a new W10 VM using the same uuid. W10 activation is stored online keyed to the machine, so once the machine has been upgraded and registered at Microsoft you can switch it back and forth between W10 and any other OS as much as you want. A new install of W10 on the machine will be activated as soon as it goes online. In my test example above, the original W10 install was seabios and I used OVMF for the new install and it still activated fine. You can only change the bios by creating a new VM so it's not a huge concern. I have also tried changing the machine type and the number of cores and the activation has stuck so far.

I've been playing with W10 upgrades to see what happens. I've found it seems to activate only one the virtual disk that you are using. Microsoft says that W10 activiation is tied to hardware but the VM's don't seem to work right. I setup one activated W10 VM. Then I created a second identical VM but it would not activate. I can at least somewhat understand this one, but in theory the ID of both VM's should be the same. I setup an activated W10 VM and copied the virtual disk. I created a new VM using the copied virtual disk and when I started it that version of W10 was not activated. I'm not sure why this works since one was a copy of the other. So, I have this feeling that you can upgrade W7 to W10 but if you lose or damage the VM beyond repair you likely can't recreate it without buying W10.

Volume map to a server location where the file is stored and simply copy it inside the docker?

unRAID will still recognize the drives and current array even after hardware changes assuming you have a valid configuration. No need to start over. Typically, just plug the USB into the new server with the same drives and it will boot and work just like nothing was changed.

After first adding the my movies share the library scan would just hang every time. The docker doesn't hold all the information and images so of course it's scraping data from outside sources so this will take time to complete on a first scan where the images don't exist. But, as I already noted twice now, in my case the first scan of the library would hang every time so it was nothing to do with bandwidth. It simply was hanging on trying to identify a movie or movies.

When I first installed it likely about a year ago the library scanning would just keep hanging up and I eventually had to manually identify a lot of my movies. They were all identified by the old MediaBrowser but the new server still had issues.

I thought Plex pretty much needed to use their defined ports for any clients to connect. Does the server have a second network connections available? If yes, I think you could make a Plex docker use it. It requires some manual command line use to build the docker since the unRAID interface doesn't allow what I think you have to do. If you can create another way to have another IP address like that Pipeworks mentioned in theory will do, then you could also run 2 instances attached to 2 different IP addresses. Otherwise, here are the ports. If you use bridge mode in a second docker then you can put the ports on the container side and put different ports on the host side. Also set the correct protocol for each. With a free ethernet IP address - stop your production docker and do the above using direct 1:1 port mapping to create the test one. "save" so it makes the image and then the docker run command creating the container will be given in the "command" window. You will see the port mapping like -p 32400:32400/tcp etc, 1 for each port. Copy the command and change it so every port map looks like this instead -p IP:32400:32400/tcp where IP is the spare IP address the server has. Delete the existing container only, not image you just created then run the modified command via the command line. Then, the docker will appear on the unRAID interface so you can stop and start it.

You're right, just edit it again and I can delete it. It's still rather dumb that it can't be deleted at first, but you can't help it. I did find a change that was odd. I can't find any way to put the channels into a Channels group like before instead of them all appearing individually.

I could add the template no problem, the WebUI link work fine and it seems to work fine. I just stopped the old docker and added this one to see what would happen and it all seems fine. It's annoying that there is now a /mnt volume that can't be deleted that I had to direct as read-only to a low hanging directory so I could make my own media volumes. Does your docker file force that or is this the new way unRAID does it?

You basically put the script in your GitHub repository and then put commands like this at the end of the Dockerfile to install and run it. ADD install.sh /tmp/ RUN chmod +x /tmp/install.sh && /tmp/install.sh && rm /tmp/install.sh The above copies the script install.sh into the docker, runs it and then deletes it. But then, I'm guessing you really want to do it without creating your own repository, right?

It's trying to find the file here - /downloads/downloaded/torrents/Rectify.S03E01.Hoorah.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-NTb[rarbg] Where on your server is that file? In all those applications working together /downloads should be mapped to /mnt/user/downloads. Don't get fancy and point one program to /mnt/user/downloads and another to /mnt/user/downloads/complete/TV

unRAID doesn't cause the stall but the bandage fix on the unRAID side is to use spinup groups. It's a Windows problem. Windows basically creates one connection to the server so when a second program tries to access a spun-down disk the connection hangs until it gets a response.

It reads like you copied the flac directory from disk4 to a flac directory on disk3. If you did, then that directory also automatically becomes part of the same flac share. But then, maybe you copied the flac directory from disk4 into a different directory on disk3. That would be fine because that other user share would not contain the contents of the flac directory. I really don't know what you did because what you wrote really wasn't clear. The rule is that any top level directory on any of the disks with the same name is part of the user share of the same name. It doesn't matter how you setup the share, even if you use include and exclude disks it doesn't change the way all same name directories are combined into user shares.

The spin-up groups doesn't just solve an IDE drive issue. It also eliminates playback pauses if the same Windows PC is playing back a file and then tries to access a file on a spun-down disk at the same time. It's a work around for Windows.

The share will be gone if you delete the share directory on EVERY disk - both array and cache. Obviously, someone had selective reading not following the first part of my instructions. rm -r /mnt/disk1/flac rm -r /mnt/disk2/flac rm -r /mnt/disk3/flac etc Actually, if you do the above you really don't need to delete the cfg file but might as well delete it to get rid of the lingering file that no longer has any use.

If the share is empty then you're supposed to be able to delete the name to get rid of it. The most foolproof is to go to each disk share and delete any share directories that exist. Then go to the flash drive under config\shares to delete the config file. Then stop and start the array and the share will be permanently and completely gone.

See if you do an Add if you find the my-xxx templates in the list. If you pick those, they will re-install as they were. FYI, the appdata is not the dockers, it's just stored data the dockers use. You should have a docker.img file and that holds the actual dockers.

Technically, there is no such thing as unRAID dockers. The repositories give the templates which fill-in the setup fields. Once you understand the setup fields, you can fill all of the fields yourself almost as easy as using a template. The dockers used by the templates use are built a certain way to maintain a consistency that reduces the amount of stuff downloaded since docker will re-use common parts like the base image if it's already downloaded. That's about all that is special about them, assuming that much was done.

Here is how to make the install look pretty. Click/slide the advanced button that is located in the grey preferences bar to the right. A new box will appear. Put the Docker Hub address for the docker into that URL line. Put the web address you use to access the docker into the WebUI line. Put a link to a banner and/or image to represent the docker into those lines. Put a description if you want. I got the image by going to the MediaBrowser home page and then right clicking and opening the icon on the top left of that page. Then, copied the link and stuck it in there. It seems to require a web hosted image so host a picture on a sharing site and link it if you want. The minimum to put is the WebUI link and the banner or icon link depending on which view you use on the unRAID docker tab.

Here is a quick example of running any docker using the official MediaBrowserServer Docker https://hub.docker.com/r/jacobalberty/mediabrowser/~/dockerfile/ Between the information and dockerfile tabs you can find the info you need. - The description tab says to use a volume called /config and a variable called /TZ. - Click onto the dockerfile tab and looking at the docker file will also help if you know what to look for. In the following image you can see the VOLUME line that lists /config and the EXPOSE lines that list the port numbers and protocols. So, these are the settings for the unRAID Docker setup screen. See how I gave it a name, anything will do. I copied the repository from the "pull this repository" box only using the name and not the "docker pull" command I put /config for the container volume and pointed to the cache on my server where I wanted to store the config data. I added the /tv and /movies container volumes and pointed them to the correct server locations. I put the ports in and the protocol. I put the TZ variable and picked a location nearby. The :latest after the repository name is not required, but it's a good idea to ensure you get the latest stable docker. I was getting both the "latest" = latest stable release and "daily" = daily built beta downloads without putting it there. The /tv and /movies could be almost anything. I could also add /music or /games in the future. You can create container volumes that are not listed as "VOLUME" lines in the dockerfile. BUT, you must use the "VOLUME"'s that are in the dockerfile. Just one warning, if you use a common Linux path such as /mnt or /etc you will over-write a path and files that exist inside the Docker and it won't work. /tv and /movies and not paths in the root of a Linux install so they are safe. You could put different ports on the host side if you wanted to. Be aware that using different ports on this docker would break the client applications that access the server. I also believe if I didn't map the ports they'd just work with the numbers inside the Dockerfile but I'm not positive of this. It's wasn't hard just to map them 1:1 so I just did it. That's about it. Hit Apply and install the Docker.

Told ya, as soon as you tried to get it working and then posted what you unsuccessfully tried that you'd get help. Peter

Skank I have no idea what plink is. Did you read the documents for it or look up any examples? You likely have to just answer yes and carry on. I believe you had a script or something running on that media player you are using (I don't recall the details and really don't care) which would do the same as pressing the sleep button on the unMENU interface. But, you complained that the sleep button didn't work right because your player was hanging up. So, try editing the script for the sleep button and using the line Joe gave you instead of what's there now. I thought this was suggested in the other thread where you were asking for it. I'm pretty sure the script is in the unmenu folder on the flash drive. The name should be fairly obvious. Be careful when editing the script to use unix EOF and not DOS ones. Try telneting to the server and type mc to use Midnight Commander to access the server files and do the editing. I hate to tell you, but people here (or anywhere for that matter) generally don't want to do the work for you when it appears you won't put in any effort yourself. I think your problem of not seeming to get help stems from that fact you were told what to change but it appears you never followed up on it or tried to change it. If you'd come back after making an effort with a question about what you had tried I'm sure you would have got more help. Peter
