I believe docker can pass devices through as long as drivers are loaded on the host OS. Unfortunately unraid lacks drivers for webcams. I talked to jonp about it and he doesn't think it makes sense to include those drivers in the unraid kernel (I also agree). You might wanna consider using a vm and passing through the usb port/bus if your hardware allows it Interesting thought. Maybe I'll try a very light Linux install just to support the USB webcams and then still use the Zoneminder docker to just pull the IP address.

So far I've been using a Windows VM running SyncBackPro to handle the drive sync.

Update: I set the two shares, downloads and Media, to Cache Yes and ran the mover. Now it's moving the files over. Why would it store files in the cache in the first place if I didn't want to use the cache drive for those shares?

I have a large amount of files and folders that are either sitting on my cache drive, but they are not being moved over to the shares. The strange thing is that many of these shares are marked to NOT use the cache drive. However, the files are sitting there anyway. When I SSH into the UnRaid box, I did a directory listing on /mnt/cache and saw three folders: Media, VMs, and downloads. When I check their settings in Shares, VMs is set to cache only, but the other two are set to Cache No. Yet, there are files in all of them. When I run mover from the command line it says: skipping "Media, skipping "VMs", skipping "downloads". I understand why it skips VMs, but why isn't it handling the other two? Thanks for any help.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- EDIT: This has been fixed. I had downloads set to /mnt/cache/downloads, but that share was set to not use the cache drive so it wasn't looking in the right place for scripts. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm not sure if this is a docker issue or an issue with the program, but I can't get scripts loaded in NZBGet. Docker: /config = /mnt/user/appdata/nzbget/ /downloads = /mnt/cache/downloads/ My settings to the script directory are mapped correctly: Maindir is /downloads Every other dir begins with ${MainDir}/ and they are working. (Scripts is ${MainDir}/scripts). However, when I drop a .py script into that directory (at the root, no folder) nothing shows up when I try to add the script. I've tried restarting the docker many times. Removing and readding. Even chmodding all directories and scripts to 777 and chowing then to nobody:users. Nothing seems to work. (I've tried with multiple scripts located on NZBGet's site). I've also tried putting the ppscripts directory in the /config location as mentioned in an earlier post and that didn't work. Any advice would be appreciated.

On my UnRaid box, I have a USB camera setup at: /dev/bus/usb/002/005 (lsusb shows Bus 002 Device 005: ID 046d:09c1 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks) I want to use this camera with this docker. Do I have to pass the hardware through? In the docker advanced settings, I added "--device=/dev/bus/usb/002/005:/dev/bus/usb/002/005" under Extra Parameters and the docker loads. However, I'm not having any luck identifying the camera. In the ZM settings, I setup a local cam and point it to: /dev/bus/usb/002/005 but I get permission denied errors in the log. Thanks for any help.

+1 too. Apple takes too long for hardware approval. This would be great!

Kodi (Openelec) on FireTVs and Chromeboxes in the house. Plex for streaming outside the house. I thought about dumping Kodi for the new Apple TV boxes (and use Plex), but I just installed LEDs on the back on my TV and use Ambilight with Kodi. I don't see Plex/Apple/Whatever doing that anytime soon!

I've been interested in cutting the cord (US based) for some time now. My wife is unwilling to give up DVR. I'm unwilling to pay for something like TiVO with a $15 per month fee when I like to tinker and know I can do-it-myself. I've been reading a lot about both MythTV and tvheadend. It seems like tvheadend has more UnRaid users and a docker that has more support. However, I'm having a hard time finding out what hardware I should purchase and where to go from there. My goal is to be able to record OTA HD channels (I have an antenna up that is capturing about 50 channels). I'd like to record a minimum of 2 channels at a time, maybe 4. I'd also prefer internal hardware (instead of something external like an HDHomeRun). Since I don't plan on keeping cable, I just need to record OTA. What are some good cards to explore? Are there any other services I need to take a look at? Thanks!

I could be wrong, but I don't think S3 or Glacier are the same as Amazon Cloud Drive. The former are pay as you use service whereas Cloud Drive is similar to something like Dropbox or Carbonite.

I have Sonarr looking at the Drone Factory folder which will then process downloaded shows. However, Sonarr won't remove the torrents from rtorrent.

Sounds good... I did the initial install and set: /config to /mnt/user/appdata/calibre /books to /mnt/user/Books/ (this is where I was going to put eBooks to import) Container Port 8080 to 8000 Container Port 8081 to 8001 EDGE set to 1 (so I have the latest version - 2.45) Upon initial launch I created the Calibre library at /config I added about 2000 books (mostly from my GetAbstract subscription). When I visit 192.168.1.20:8001 the site loads fine. However, when I click Get, the instance at 8001 crashes, but the 8000 still works... UPDATE: Aaaannnnddd I just restarted it, tested again, and it's working. Strange. Okay. I'll keep an eye on it.

Regardless, I still need help with my original question. Is there a solution out there to automate backing up to Amazon Cloud Drive directly from the server?

Yup. There could also be another deal. Plus, as a Prime Member, I get unlimited photos for the cost of the membership. I figure I would try it out for a year and see what happens. While I can just run the Amazon Cloud Drive app in a VM (Win 10), I'd rather it be done in a container without much maintenance.

I have Calibre-RDP setup and both the GUI and the Web Server are working fine. However, when I browse to the web server and click on Get File, the web server crashes. The only way to bring it back up is to restart the Docker. (The file also doesn't download). The GUI is fine. I don't see anything in the log files that would cause this. Thoughts?

I recently switched from Transmission to RTorrent+RUTorrent. It takes some time to configure but runs pretty well.

I just took advantage of the Amazon Unlimited Cloud Drive for $5 today. Is there a docker available that would let me specify certain shares to automatically sync (or at least upload new changes) to Amazon Cloud Drive? My goal is to have my most important files saved in case of theft, fire, act of nature, etc. Note: I currently have CrashPlan, but $5 is too good a deal to pass up. Therefore, I will probably let CrashPlan expire.

I completely forgot to ping that IP. I must be tired and looked for more complicated solutions. Anyway, when I start the container, 192.168.1.40 does in fact ping...and it stops when I stop the container. I also used NMAP to figure out if the ports 9091 and 51413 are open on 1.40 and they are. So it looks like everything is working okay. My next step is to see if it's the configuration of Transmission itself causing the issue. My assumption is that Transmission is setup to only look on 192.168.1.20 (localhost) somewhere in the config. I'm going to start there...

Thanks for sharing these screen captures. They definitely helped since I was changing the Pipework container settings instead of the app. I setup everything as recommended using Transmission as an example. My UNRAID box is running on 192.168.1.20 and I'm trying to get Transmission to 1.40 with a different gateway. After everything is set, Transmission still only appears at 192.168.1.20, however the interface loads but doesn't connect to the daemon. Any advice?

Very cool. Thanks for putting this together as it's exactly what I need. However, I'm having an issue getting it to work properly. I've read and reread everything with no luck. Can you post a screen shot of your config? Thanks again!

The upgrade is going smoothly! I have upgraded the processor to a Xeon (from the i3), upgraded the memory to 24 GB, installed an eSata card (for a 4-port external Digital Sans box I had laying around), put the newest version of UnRaid on a 32GB USB, and installed the two 8TB drives and the 250G SSD drive. Before I wipe everything and start from scratch I realize that I need to do this carefully as not to lose any data. Currently, the box is booting into ESXI 5.5 and hosting UnRAID as a VM. I want to make UnRAID the primary OS and use it for my VMs plus Dockers. I also, currently, have 3 HDs running in UnRAID (1TB parity, 1TB data, 750G data). I also only have about 30G free across this array. These drives were added to ESXI and passed through (using software since the i3 didn't have VT-d) to the UnRAID VM. I can't add another drive to this array since it's an unlicensed copy. I'm thinking about formatting the 8TB on an external computer. Copying my entire server contents (~1.5TB) to the 8TB. Then, redo the entire array from scratch making the other 8TB the parity, put the 3 other drives into the array as data, copy the 8TB back to the array, then put the 8TB in as a data. Am I overthinking this? Would the existing drives work in a new array even they were coming through an ESXI? I guess I could also test this out and just boot directly into the new USB of UnRAID instead of ESXI. (I also need to figure out what I need to save on my other VM boxes. I will be sad to lose them since it tooks many months of tinkering to get it just right).

Thanks, Squid!

The server is primarily used to store all of my old DVD and new BluRay rips. Plus, my wife uses it to store all photos. Those photos also get stored to the cloud from the server (2 points of backup). The only time writes happen is when I'm ripping a disc or the wife is storing photos. Otherwise, most of the time the server is being read from (streaming to various Plex, Kodi boxes in an outside the house). I think I'll start with the Seagate as the 8TB parity and look at upgrading if I'm not happy with the performance. Interestingly enough, I'm running an unlicensed beta copy of UnRaid 6. Part of this server upgrade is to buy a license. I may only purchase the basic (6 drives). Do you know off-hand if the 6 drives include all parity and cache drives or is the 6 just the data drives? And, yep, I got the Evo 850 off NewEgg for $75 - exactly the reason I bought it. I love early Black Friday deals!

Aaaaaaand I'm broke... However, I am now (going to be after a few days of shipping) the proud owner of: 16 more GB of ECC RAM (2x8) 250 GB Samsung EVO 850 SSD for my VMs and apps 2 x 8TB Seagate Archive drives (got from Jet.com at $178 a piece). The Xeon 1240 processor. One more question regarding this: I have hardware RAID in this box. Would it make sense to use one of these 8TB drives as the parity or would it be better to put 2 4TB drives in a RAID array (hardware) and use that as the parity? I've been reading up on the topic but haven't found too much information on performance. Thanks!
