I'l give that a whirl!

Doh, for some reason i had it selected on advanced view. Brought to you by linuxserver.io ----------------------------------- GID/UID ----------------------------------- User uid: 99 User gid: 100 ----------------------------------- We are now refreshing packages from apt repositorys, this *may* take a while Update: OK MOD Default {} {} MOD Default {} {} MOD Default {} {} MOD Default {} {} Jan 26 21:15:28 Tower syslog-ng[98]: syslog-ng starting up; version='3.5.3' Jan 26 21:17:01 Tower /USR/SBIN/CRON[116]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) This is it.

Color me dumb. but which log are you requesting? the installation log or the unraid log.. (sorry for being such a nub)

No luck.

Looks like I'm having the Ol' can't connect to the webUI problem. I installed the docker the same way I've done several others. /mnt/user/appdata/OpenVPN/ is where I pointed the config/ files to. from there I'm not able to access the webUI. I have very limited knowledge of linux so if I'm needed to do something other than the web interface please let me know how to.

Where would one go for your own certs? How would one install said certs?

Okay. That makes sense. I think that's what I was looking for. However, my media manager software in the near future is said to trigger updates so once that is finished up that's what I'll be using. Man you've been a huge help. Yeah. My laptop seems to be connected with maria quite well. I'm now testing everything across the network with my living room's system. Once again, if I have issues I'll call back. EDIT: WORKS LIKE A DREAM.. Just tested it.

You must make sure that there is a copy of sources.xml in the userdata folder in the headless docker container. Okay. Maybe I have something wrong in my headless Kodi. Like I said before I copy and pasted the advancedsetings.xml file to the headless folder > Added a movie > Restarted kodi (stopped and started the docker) > Went to my client machine (laptop) > checked for any updates... Nothing.. Nothing new the movies that I'm adding are extremely short and easy to scrape. Both instances are using the same advancesettings.xml and same source.xml

Well, I was the one who called you peach either way. LOL.. Okay, another question. So it's my understanding that if any new content is added to the source folder (where all the videos/music is held) this data will be then added the headless Kodi. That, in turn, will update any of the client machines. However, when I add a new movie to the folder nothing changes on my laptop's Kodi. Does the headless version of Kodi not scrape the new content (automatically)? Or Am i required to go into kodi and scrape the library every time i add something new so that all my client machines are up to date?

OMG!!! I think that was it!!! I'm going to do some more testing to check it out.. but I think you nailed it! Thank you. (I'll be back if i have more questions)

Right. That's basically what I'm trying to do is just simply get my laptop to connect to the mariadb. However, I'm not even 100% sure that I've set it up correctly. I'm not familiar with how to that. I know I need to set up the username and PW on the database. I listed the steps I took to do that. (is that the correct steps?) I guess my question here is once I've installed mariadb. What is the simplist way to ensure that I set up the user correctly? Also, to test to see if my version of kodi on my laptop is indeed able to connect to it? (sorry if i'm being difficult or obtuse. I've been at his for hours and its mainly due to my inexperience)

Wow, this week has been special, first I get called baby and now peach..... Must be doing something right then. EDIT: On that link you gave me for the setting up of the Setting up MySQL which OS would I be looking for? or is this step already accomplished through the docker app?

Thank you. You're a peach!

I assume to do that just instead of using root (no password) in heidisql just use the kodi login and PW? I listed the steps i used to create the kodi user above. Is there another way to do that?

I for the life of me cannot set this up. Here are the steps I am taking. Please let me know how I'm messing this up....... First: I installed kodi headless from linuxserver/kodi-headless (off of the Community Applications plugin). I then installed MariaDB from linuxserver/mariadb:latest same place I from there log into MariaDB from HeidiSQL. I then go to tools > User Manager > +Add > Username kodi > host (I've tried localhost and the server's IP address) > PW (twice) > Check box next to global privileges > Save. From there I go on the left-hand side and click the right arrow next to MySQL > go down to user open the data section of that field. (I see that kodi was made as a user the PW). However, the PW has changed to a long string of letters and numbers. (I assume encrypted) (will this have any effect on the password for the headless logging in or my remote machine?) I then go onto my server. find the advancedsettings.xml file on the headless Kodi. (I've used the provided version of the advancedsettings.xml and the abbreviated version just listed below. I also place the exact same file (just by copying it) into the AppData of my client machine (my laptop) <advancedsettings> <videodatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>***.***.***.***</host> <port>3306</port> <user>kodi</user> <pass>****</pass> </videodatabase> <musicdatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>***.***.***.***</host> <port>3306</port> <user>kodi</user> <pass>****</pass> </musicdatabase> </advancedsettings> From here I go onto Kodi from my laptop > Add a source > Set the content > It asks if i want to refresh information? I say Yes > NOTHING HAPPENS! I'm not sure what's going on. Nothing is being added to the library on my local machine. Also, if I add anything new to the folder selected that new information isn't added to the database either. I Personally don't think that either instance of Kodi is accessing the database. However, I'm not super knowledgeable about running any of this software at all. I just can't find anything on the internet or search function to help me out. I've also tried this with sparklyballs version of a headless-kodi and mariaDB all in one with no luck either. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37209.0

Okay, I've been at his for a while. I'm not the brightest bulb when it comes to most of the commands and wants of this here machine. However, I've managed to get the container working. (by installing the container then going back in and removing the /http) When I go back into my AppData folder and into certs there aren't any certs being generated (or atleast there are no files listed there). Is that normal? Also, I'd like to edit the config.php file. However, when I try to edit the file it gives me an error in notepad++ that it cannot open the file. I'm assuming due to some permissions settings. Also assuming those settings cannot be edited from the standard windows screen. My main goal here is to be able to access my cloud information remotely (off the network), hence the need to edit config.php. I'm assuming the SSL certificates will provide a lil' bit of protection for my files as well as the standard ye 'ol password. Aside from not putting my owncloud on the internet are there any other precautions I can take to further protect my systems and network? (the way I understand it is basically all i have to do to allow access is to just forward the port that i'm using for the cloud)
