  1. Thanks...been awhile since I have been on the forums lol. My system has been humming along so well for so long...don't really think about it. Hadn't even seen this plugin. Installing now...haha. Thank you very much. Tony
  2. Just out of curiosity, maybe i am blind, do you guys have a Unraid Docker Repo, I can't seem to find one? Thanks
  3. thanks reluctant...i saw that but was unsure if it would work and didn't want to run a command and have it bork the whole install...appreciate the confirmation! thanks for all the support and hard work guys...appreciate it!
  4. I assume you were running xen so you have a network bridge setup in unRAID. Next you need to create a storage pool or pools (the green plus under storage) pointing to the location of your iso and/or where you want to store your vm images. I have a pool for iso's and a pool for vm images. If on the cache drive make sure it's cache only. It can be an existing directory or a new one. Once the pool is created you can create an image in the pool by clicking on the green plus under pool actions. For ubuntu I would create a 10G qcow2 image. Next go to CREATE and select your iso image for install image and PAE for 32bit or not, amount of memory, number of vcpus, and select your unbuntu.qcow2 for disk image then click create vm. Should create and auto start the vm. From the main VM's page or the domain info page click on the eye to open a vnc connection to your new vm. I think that's everything. For ubuntu you can also setup 9p sharing which allows you to mount an unRAID share point inside your vm. I just share /mnt. Thanks so much dmacias....got it up and running with a few stumbles (me being a linux virgin mostly)... quick question...how hard/is it possible to expand the qcow2 image? I did 10GB and did a desktop ubuntu install mainly to try it out and play...and installed an LAMP stack on it so i could do some internal dev....unfortunately i don't have much space left...only like 2.5 GB (had no idea ubuntu desktop needed so much)...is it possible to expand it so i have a little more space to do dev stuff? thanks again!! plugin is awesome! Tony
  5. I hoped I don't get flamed...REALLY new to KVM. Installed the VM manager and virtman....but from there...stumped. Tried to create a VM but don't have any idea where to start. I have both a Windows 7 qcow2 from a Xen VM I was running before as well as a desktop Ubuntu ISO I want to run. Don't care much about the win 7 at the moment (next) but would like to get the desktop Ubuntu up and running. Anyone point me to a step by step using the VM manager to do so. I understand a LITTLE bit about the XML stuff but can't figure out how it works (auto generated) or what. Any help please Thanks Tony
  6. i am so utterly perplexed... i cannot get this working for the life of me... i can get the docker installed...it sees my db from previous install (plugins before docker)....it sees when i watch content...sees stuff from plex...but writes nothing to the plexWatch.db file and never creates a log file in the logs directory... as a result, i also don't get any notifications that are configured in the config.pl i am completely utterly stumped....please help... i feel like i have tried everything...,but to no avail.... thanks Tony
  7. Yes you would need to add all the drives if you aren't using shares (which you should!!) ...as for adding other disk sources....i would assume you would use IP address if its a different machine \\192.168.x.x\disk2 Essentially the way you would access it windows with the UNC path
  8. For example in this docker run -d --net="host" --name="plex" -v /path/to/plex/config:/config -v /path/to/video/files:/data -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 32400:32400 needo/plex You would change this /path/to/video/files:/data So that the path for your data location was where the /path/to/video/files is and name it whatever you want from "data" What those lines do, data and config, is map a physical location to a pointer name within the docker...you can make as many as you want (don't think there is a limit)....then you would access those locations in app within the docker by navigating to /data or /config....make sense?
  9. Can't do a screenshot but if you are using the dockerman plugin that is installed with 6 there are places for paths...you type want it is called and then a drop down for where it points and you reference the name you gave from within apps in the docker.... I'll post example from command line in a sec
  10. Why are you using /mnt/disk1,etc. instead of setting up a TV or Movie share and using /mnt/user/TV or /mnt/user/Movies ? I don't have any shares defined. I just write to each disk and access it via UNC path. ps. no users defined either. Did you set your mnt path in the docker command or template....you need to assign the path to something sort of like how you map the config to a certain place on the cache....for example Mnt/disk1: storage In Plex you wouldn't navigate to the disks...you would look for "storage" which will point to disk1...does that make sense...sorry trying to brief I am on my phone on the train...
  11. I agree Jon and I appreciate the post... I agree that having a stable version and one that just works is ideal...but I guess I am struggling with the support aspect of it...i will deal with it but i guess it will be doubly important for those that decide to put their dockers out there for the community, that they are responsive or at least give others access so that the docker can be maintained....i think having a single person responsible for a docker is a bad idea.... as for versions, i agree that minor revisions aren't needed, but occasionally, incremental updates do add a feature that is needed...for example, in nzbget, they added some specific fake download handling because there is a lot of false things being posted up...until i get that revision, i can't take advantage of that...so although minor revisions typically are not needed, it's nice to have that option... again...this really isn't against docker, but rather hoping to promote some healthy discussion around maintenance, availability, and agility when it comes to using dockers...it's something that plugins didn't really have to deal with as a lot of plugins had the ability to upgrade fairly easily...now a different process needs to be observed...am sure others besides myself were not 100%completely aware of this limitation and it needs to be weighed depending on how you maintain your system... please make no mistake i am not condemning one of the other, in fact, i really like docker...the whole reason i moved to 6...but i think we need some though around some of the software packages that are still in their infancy and being developed very quickly... thanks again for the time...and the hard work!
  12. So I recently moved to 6 and LOVE the idea of Dockers and the virtualization that comes with them... Here's my issue though and I am curious as to everyone's thoughts....I am a noob when it comes to dockers and am not the best at linux...let's say my experience in generalized computing is fairly high...i am not the type to compile my own docker images etc just because i haven't seen a sufficient document to instruct me on how to do so and i am sure that many others are way more competent in doing it correctly.... that being said...since getting my system set up and running (coming from plugins) I have had a lot of minor issues...things not talking...functionality breaking, permission issues etc...on top of that, there are a lot of updates and builds that i am unable to take advantage of because the docker has to be rebuilt and they are getting stale... at least with plugins, it was fairly easy to get updates to nightly builds or latest stable builds within app if needed....with dockers, it appears that we are dependent on the docker author to do updates which as we all know, sometimes life can get in the way for quite awhile. This leaves people sort of in the dark on some stuff...for example, love the work needo has done...but nzbget, can't get the latest build to install, plexwatch is behind, nzbdrone is behind.... my question is this...is it possible to build dockers where it is still easy to do updates to the software absent the docker author??? i don't know enough to know one way or another.... what are people's thoughts about the handcuffing of updates docker brings along with it? or am i missing something??
  13. I have the same issue as dirrtyjoe...any thoughts... in addition, i lost my ability to get pushover notifications from it as well???
  14. Edge If you would like to run a forthcoming version, please set the EDGE variable with the XX.X format (e.g. 13.0): docker run -d --name="nzbget" -e EDGE="13.0" -v /path/to/dir/with/nzbget.conf:/config -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 6789:6789 needo/nzbget To use a test revision, please set the EDGE variable with the XXXX format (e.g. 1070): docker run -d --name="nzbget" -e EDGE="1070" -v /path/to/dir/with/nzbget.conf:/config -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 6789:6789 needo/nzbget I tried doing that via the add template feature but to no avail. Do I need to do this manually as opposed to through the GUI. No problem if that's the case but wanted to make sure that's how it has to be done.
