Hi guys i need some help here So i updated to V8 and everything was fine ... then the whole problem of data corruption so i as per recommendation i upgraded to V9 but now the plugin isn't working properly i cant seem to find the templates i only see my templates also all of the icons are gone and i cant access the apps via the apps menu you can check the attachment to see what i mean . Any help would be appreciated Thanks Shremi

Thanks a lot for your post it explained to me things a bit better so i took the courage and started the upgrade process following the instructions in the OP and know i think i am up and running again .... Hopefully i wont have any errors

Hi guys I wanted to post here because i am fairly new to unraid but i wanted to make sure i do everything right befor i upgrade to the latest beta , i have everything working on beta6 i tried to upgrade to beta7 but i was having issues where i couldn't mount the array ..... I just don't want to mess everything up since i really spent much time getting docker and all of my containers to work properly. I have a cache SSD which where docker is installed in /mnt/cache/docker Now all of my docker containers are located in /mnt/cache/appdata/XXX I am using gfjardim plugin to manage the docker container and images. I have been reading the upgrade instructions but the more i read the more complicated it gets .... I want everything to upgrade but i want the docker.img and all of the containers and images to remain on the SSD cache drive. I know this might be easy to some but i am really confused with all of these new features and changes on beta8 . Also i have been reading about the docker.img and i have a question regarding its size i really dont know how much space should i assign to it since i don't know if that .img file is where all of my apps and appdata will be stored.. I hope someone can make this clearer for some folks as me who are a bit less tech savy. Thanks Shremi

I also have the same problem but I am using beta 6 I have 12gb of ram so I don't think ram is the issue here... Did you find a solution?

I am having problems ..... I was using beta 6 i stopped the array copied the files as per the readme instructed rebooted everything is ok i can see my drives but i cant mount the array via the web gui..... Also i am seeing 24 available drives and i have the Plus version dont know if that is normal Any help would be appreciated

Hi needo is there a way you could add a logitech media server please ??

Thank you for the reply... I have been trying to find out how to change the settings it seems there is a config file inside the Mariadb that you need to modify but I can't seem to find it... How did you manage to change the default ip address in your setup??

Ok guys so first of all i have read all of the guides available but it seems i am out of luck here .... As the title says i am trying to create a centralized library using mariadb So i first went ahead and followed the guide basically here are the results of following the steps : Setting environment for using XAMPP for Windows.

And i am a complete newbie with unraid but i am trying to learn so please bare with me xbmc.txt

This .... For me it was the only way to make the apps see all of my folders and properly configure the, within the app

I had the same problem i solved by using the plugin to installl. But make sure you add a path when installing via the image via the plugin to /mnt/user on the left box and also on the right ... After i did that i was able to properly search for my library via the web interface of Plex . Let me know if it works out

Something weird is happening i modified the config but now i cant access the server .... i am asked about the certificate but then nothing loads . Weird

Like this ? <?php $CONFIG = array ( 'instanceid' => 'oc3397738543', 'passwordsalt' => '92e26a38d52598b26b1245e7161641', 'trusted_domains' => array ( 0 => '192.168.0.119:8000’, 1 => 'mxxxx.dlinkddns.com:8000', ), 'datadirectory' => '/var/www/owncloud/data', 'dbtype' => 'sqlite3', 'version' => '7.0.0.8', 'installed' => true, );

I added the line now it looks like this <?php $CONFIG = array ( 'instanceid' => 'oc3397738543', 'passwordsalt' => '92e26a38d52598b26b1245e7161641', 'trusted_domains' => array ( 0 => '192.168.0.119:8000' 1 => 'mxxxx.dlinkddns.com:8000', ), 'datadirectory' => '/var/www/owncloud/data', 'dbtype' => 'sqlite3', 'version' => '7.0.0.8', 'installed' => true, ); Now the pluging wont start

Thanks i know the port is working because i have removed ownclowd and when i go to mydnsname.com i can access unraid over the web . <?php $CONFIG = array ( 'instanceid' => 'oc3397738543', 'passwordsalt' => '92e26a38d52598b26b1245e7161641', 'trusted_domains' => array ( 0 => '192.168.0.119:8000', ), 'datadirectory' => '/var/www/owncloud/data', 'dbtype' => 'sqlite3', 'version' => '7.0.0.8', 'installed' => true, ); This is what my config.php looks like can you please guide me to where should i put my dns lets say my dns is mark.dlinkddns.com

Hi guys i have successfully installed the ownclowd docker using the plugin and so far so got however i have some questions if you could help me out with some of my doubts: 1 I want to use it ownclowd to create a user for each member of my family so they can upload their photos they all use ios devices something like icloud but inside my unraid server. 2 In order for it to work i want to be able for them to access the owncloud from outside my network i have been reading a lot but i dont know if i am missing something i have tried to open up the 80 port in my router but whenever i use the WAN ip / owncloud i get an error. I also have ddns in my router and if i try to login via xxxx.dlinkddns.com/owncloud i also get an error ... I know there has to be a way i a a newbie with unraid server stuff . So if anyone can share some insight i will be really grateful. Thanks Shremi

Solved ..... if you want to properly have access to the array when you are adding a docker container you should add a path on the template and then put /mnt/user on the left and on the right.... I am now up and running i still have a long way to go but i would like to thank everyone who took their time to help me out to get my server working properly . Really a great support from the community. I wish this forum had a REP system but for now i'll mark this thread as solved . And if a something comes up i'll ask in the proper thread again a million thanks . Shremi

I'm not sure if you mean the docker plugin, which offers templates to install the individual docker programs, or if you actually used one of the 'old' plugins to install CouchPotato. I assume you mean the docker plugin to install the CP docker image. If so, the docker plugin has a CouchPotato template, and that should allow you to add a path where you can enter /mnt/user on the left and the right, them be sure to hit the "Add Path" button. I believe you can leave the other 2 paths blank without issue. You may have to remove the current couchpotato image before re-adding it with the template. the docker plugin allows you to do this easily. If you get stuck, ask more questions. Good luck. Thanks Justin yeah i meant the docker plugin ... I will try to add couchpotato with your suggestions and report back . Also do you have any advice for plex i cant seem to get into my Movies or tv shows

Thanks for the link justin ... that really explains a lot of my doubts and the reasoning you used i believe its the best way because thats is the only way i could get nzbdrone to view my existing shows .. and also i could map SAB to the right folder i would like to download ... the watched folder and so on ... Since i installed couchpotato from the plugin there is no way it could search for my existing movies i just want to know if there is a way to use the /mnt/user:/mnt/user within the plugin ? The only downside i believe is that you have to upgrade the app manually via terminal but its really fun i'm starting to learn the commands in terminal Justin do you have Plex installed i believe it i'm having problems viewing my Movies and Tv shows from plex ... bc the way the plugins installs it Thanks Shremi

Hello all I just got my server up and running this weekend total newbie in linux and docker but im not affraid to learn and try things. i have a couple of questions regarding docker and this plugin i wanted to ask here since most of you guys have some experience with docker the plugin and unraid I have formatted the drive accordingly to the guide and installed docker and the docker plugin ... I wanted to try out plex since i am familiar with it and everything installed perfectly but know i have my first problem its seems it doesn't recognize my library i have tried a lot of things. maybe you can tell me what am i doing wrong . I have all of me media in disk1 under a share called Media i have tried adding to the path this : /mnt/user/Media/Movies/ and also like /mnt/disk1/Media/Movies/ Am i missing something here ? Also whenever i use the plugin with the templates the programs cant really access my stuff but if i change this to the path of installation the program can freely navigate my unraid .. /mnt/user:/mnt/user I really don't know much about docker and linux and since i am starting up i would love to know the reasoning or how it works so i can understand it better . Thanks Shremi

LOL yeah you are right i just moved it ... I have everything backed up in a USB external drive in case i do something wrong but so far i am loving this build ..... Just installed SABnzbd via docker and wooooooooow i don't know how to tell you this but my speed tripled from my windows computer i used to download stuff i also added nzbdrone ... I have a few questions about docker .... whenever i use the plugin with the templates the programs cant really access my stuff but if i add this to the path of installation the program can freely navigate my unraid .. /mnt/user:/mnt/user I really don't know much about docker and linux and since i am starting up i would love to know the reasoning or how it works so i can understand it better . Thanks Shremi

Thank you so much for everyone that replied .... I finally was able to finish moving up my entire data in about a day and a half ... my only problem was that i had a few disconnections here and there but its finally done .... Now i need to move on to the plugins. I have formatted the drive accordingly to the guide and installed docker and the docker plugin ... I wanted to try out plex since i am familiar with it and everything installed perfectly but know i have my first problem its seems it doesn't recognize my library i have tried a lot of things. maybe you can tel me what am i doing wrong . I have all of me media in disk1 under a share called Media i have tried adding to the path this : /mnt/user/Media/Movies/ and also like /mnt/disk1/Media/Movies/ Am i missing something here ?

Its going to take ma a couple of days at this transfer speed :'( Is there a way i could just plug the usb with my media and transfer it ?

Also i am getting disconnections while transferring 5 or 6 movies at a time

Thank you for the advice ... i am starting to transfer data as we speak but i have a few problems ... Since i am making some test to se the performance speed i am transfering my movies one my one .... the problem is that its starts great arround 100MB/s and then slows down all the way to 30-40MB/s isnt this supposed to be faster with the cache drive and a GB network ? I presume you mean the cache drive, since you've already assigned parity (and none of those would work for it, since it has to be >= the largest drive in the system). As for the best drive ... an SSD is clearly faster; but for working purely as a cache drive it doesn't matter as long as the drive is as fast as your network. As long as that's true, the limiting factor will be your network speed; not the speed of the cache drive. An older 500GB laptop drive will NOT be as fast as your network (assuming you're on a Gb network), so I'd probably use the larger SSD ... but the laptop drive would still give you a very nice improvement in transfer speeds, so if you want the higher capacity, just use it. Note that if you're running additional apps on the cache drive, then the network limitation doesn't apply, since these are locally run. In that case you'll definitely benefit from an SSD. LOL you are right about that i meant cache drive... I went ahead and installed the largest SSD since i have a GB network .. And my test bench is only for testing hardware so ill probably can live with the 64GB drive.

Ok guys great news ;D thank you all for the responses and advices you gave me. I have unraid up and running as we speak ..... I still have to wait until i get the email with the license so i can start with the cache drive and all of the goodies. So far i have done the following 1.-Arranging everything in bios so i can run the server as headless .... boot into unraid by default.... Added the DHCP reservation for the server in my router. 2.-Setting up the server changing the root password. 3.- Adding all of the drives and add the parity drive 4.- Setting up user shares properly with the right settings acording to the wiki and some guides i read online. Am i missing something here i want to know what do you suggest i can do here ... thanks Also about the parity drive I have 3 options for a parity drive so i wan to know which of these drives will be better ... 64GB SSD Mainly as a spare ssd 128GB SSD I currently use it as the boot drive in my test bench 500GB HDD 2.5 5900 RPM i took this drive out of my MPB and upgraded it with an SSD so its laying around in case i need a 2.5 drive. I read about the cache drive and i really want it bc it improves transfer speeds ... also i could have all of the plugins with docker ... and i also could use it to boot a VM... But i really want to know if a SSD drive would really be necessary to get the best transfer speeds ... i just want a good opinion on which drive should i use.. Thanks for your time again Shremi
