Ahhh! I thought this was redundant information, I didn't realize this would be different than the config screenshots. Hopefully this is what you are looking for; root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='Transmission_VPN' --net='bridge' --privileged=true -e TZ="America/Los_Angeles" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'OPENVPN_USERNAME'='[email protected]' -e 'OPENVPN_PASSWORD’=‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' -e 'OPENVPN_CONFIG'='default' -e 'OPENVPN_PROVIDER'='IPVANISH' -e 'LOCAL_NETWORK'='192.168.xx.0/24 10.xx.xx.0/24' -e 'TRANSMISSION_RPC_USERNAME’=‘xxxxx’ -e 'TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD’=‘xxxxxxxxxxxx’ -e 'OPENVPN_OPTS'='--inactive 3600 --ping 10 --ping-exit 60' -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -e 'TRANSMISSION_DOWNLOAD_DIR'='/downloads/complete' -e 'TRANSMISSION_RPC_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED'='true' -e 'TRANSMISSION_RATIO_LIMIT'='3.0' -e 'TRANSMISSION_RATIO_LIMIT_ENABLED'='true' -e 'TRANSMISSION_UMASK'='777' -e 'TRANSMISSION_DOWNLOAD_QUEUE_SIZE'='15' -e 'TRANSMISSION_CACHE_SIZE_MB'='10' -e 'TRANSMISSION_INCOMPLETE_DIR'='/downloads/incomplete' -e 'TRANSMISSION_WEB_UI'='combustion' -e 'GLOBAL_APPLY_PERMISSIONS'='true' -e 'WEBPROXY_ENABLED'='false' -e 'PIA_OPENVPN_CONFIG_BUNDLE'='openvpn-tcp' -p '9091:9091/tcp' -p '1198:1198/udp' -v '/mnt/user/NAS_Downloads/unraidtorrents/':'/data':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/NAS_Downloads/unraidtorrents/':'/downloads':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/NAS_Downloads/unraidtorrents/watch/':'/watch':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/T_Media/Torrent/':'/mnt/user/T_Media/Torrent/':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/Transmission_VPN':'/config':'rw' --restart=always --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 'haugene/transmission-openvpn'

Thanks for the reply, though, clearly I am lacking in knowledge as I don't know where one finds their run commands?

I'm struggling to get Transmission_VPN to work with IPVanish. I previously had it functioning just fine with PIA, but haven't ran the docker in a while (PIA account expired), switched my VPN provider to IPVanish, and now when I change the config in the docker I can't web into it. It LOOKS like it's running (Docker shows its started), but I am assuming I can't get into the webGui because the tunnel is not connecting. I have tried to read through the documentation, and I see there is some IPVanish config info, but can't quite find where to copy that config file to. Any help would be, well, helpful! Here is my config, real folders/IPs/names/pass's redacted of course.

Cool, I'll give it a try. Funny that I never thought to do it! Does the NIC still function in safe mode? Or do I need to do it all from a local GUI? I guess I will find out!

Im terribly confused by this. I go and check on it, its paused, so I RESUME it, and have had to do so maybe 5 times, and get about 1-2% done, then it pauses again. My 2nd parity disk had been showing UDMA CRC errors every time I rebooted, and then finally yesterday the disk just stopped working properly in the array (It showed up as a selectable disk, but upon boot was no longer assigned). I figured it was time to retire it. Previously I switched the POWER and the sata connection just in case, but the CRC errors kept incrementing. So I used UNBALANCE to migrate data off of a 4TB in my array, ran the process to shrink an array. Used the New Config tool, assigned the 4TB I had just removed from the array to the Parity 2 position, and then brought the array back online, and its been pausing ever since. I disabled Docker and VM's, just in case, disabled my Parity Check Tuning, and just am scratching my head was is keeping it from finishing. Obviously I will feel a lot safer once my parity is back online! nas-diagnostics-20200908-1918.zip

How exactly does one do that? And what did you set it to? I need to do a restore, and of course its not working, and cant find documentation about how to make it work.. hmmm. Sounds like you hit the nail on the head, but changing the UMASK to 777 seemed to make the docker never start up properly..

I am realizing that now. Trying to see if there is some automatic way to just create a 1080p cnoversion for any 4k movie I add to my plex library.. Seems like the easiest way to go.

Cool I just bought one! Thanks for the tip, never knew they existed..

Ahhh duh! My cores are pretty well used on lots of other tasks.. Honestly I can direct play a probably 2-3 4k streams AND have all my other dockers active , if I try to transcode a single 4k stream then I need to shut down all my dockers except Plex and my procs are all at 100%. See attached pic. I think i will create a 720p version of each 4k movie, so that when I am playing remotely the transcode engine isn't pegging my procs. I limit remote vieweing to 3mbit 720p (only have 10mbit upload speed, grrrrr), and most of my movies are 1080P. I think the QuadroP400 looks like the best device for me to use, it supports two streams, can handle all transcoding needs for me, which frees up my Processors for everything I ask of them. Then I can dedicate the older GTX730 to being a GPU for Foldeing@home.

So did you need to use a 1x->16x adapter? Or does a 16x card actually plug into a 1x slot and only 1/16th of the available bandwidth? I'm an enterprise hardware guy, every server I touch has video capabilities built in and we never have need of anything other than onboard, so I'm a total noob when it comes to my GPUs!

Well its a GT730, not a 1600. It just doesnt do any encoding or decoding. I run "watch nvidia-smi" from a terminal and it shows the GT730, but shows zero transcoding. I read through about 20 pages of the UNRAID-NVIDIA plugin help topic yesterday and it seems the Quadro P400 and the GTX 1050 are my best sub-$100 options, and that each can handle (hardware limited) 2 streams at a time, even 4k->720p streams with minimal processor degradation. I just want something that's new enough that actually supports all the available features through the driver.

I'll make this short and sweet. I have recently upgraded my UNRAID box to a AMD Ryzen 5 1600, and am doing lots of transcoding, and the proc is not cutting it given all my other processes/dockers. I know NOTHING about GPU's, since I am an enterprise IT guy, and do zero gaming. I bought a cheap NVIDIA Geforce GT730 to play with, and while I think I can get it to HW encode (all signs point to yes, based on this fellas informative video), all the monitoring capabilities and ways to check from inside the plex docker console all say "incompatible" with this card. More research has shown that only certain cards can actually do HVENC and HVDEC, and the 730 is not on this list. I am trying to find a reasonably cheap ebay purchasable Nvidia GPU card that is fully supported and will allow me to transcode at least 2 streams without hindering my processor. HELP! Someone who knows more about this, throw me a bone, and help me figure out what the hell to buy! I feel like spending $100+ on this is sort of ridiculous but if thats what i required, I guess so be it. Side note, my mobo might have video output ports but my proc doesnt have built in graphics, so I MUST use the video output from the PCI video card for any video needs when I troubleshoot. Also, microATX MOBO and only has 3 slots, (1) PCIE 3.0 X16 [x16 mode], (1) PCIE 2.0 x16 [x4 mode], (1) PCIE 2.0 X1 SLOT, first slot is taken up by HBA, second can be GPU, but if I need a 2nd GPU for local OS then it woudl have to be a very hard to find PCIE 2.0 X1 card.

You can turn that function off in the plugin settings. Yep, just did, and it worked.

The only thing is that built in terminal has a lag to it, and Midnight Commander doesnt work properly. I use MC all the time, and for instance I cant do a SHIFT + DOWN ARROW move to select multiple files/folders. So I tend to Telnet in or use the Command Line plugin...

I BOW DOWN! You are correct, that must be it, I forgot all about that. Testing now.. THANKS!!!

Thats why I'm so confused! I don't even know the 'go' file is, but I can see if that somehow got edited to copy the file there. I definitely don't have a user script that would do it. I am going to copy a random text file to /root and see if it survives a reboot. Feel like that's a reasonable test.

I am perplexed, people go through great lengths to autoboot an encrypted array, but I have the opposite problem. I WANT my encrypted array to prompt me every time I boot for the passphrase. But this 'keyfile' file somehow keeps getting stored in the /root directory. Idea how to disable this particular behavior and make it act the way its supposed to? This is after a fresh reboot; Of course I have the option of using the "Delete Encryption File" option on the MAIN menu, but that doesnt solve the issue that my encryption key is stored in a plain text file and its not just saved in RAM as I read it is supposed to be.

Awesome, that's good to know! So looks like my drives are doing fine then, excellent.. Thanks so much!

Trying to figure out what I am looking at here. INSIDE of Unraid I get totally different numbers, but these are the reports after the extended tests. I Assume these are to be trusted, regardless of what the GUI shows? Secondarily, I am not sure if these numbers are good or bad?

i have been noticing some of my jpgs are corrupt from time to time, and I want to use the awesomeness that is jpeginfo to do some system wide quality checks,. But before I start hacking around I wanted to see if anyone else has installed jpeginfo before, and if so, whats the best way to go about it?

I've tried and tried to figure this out. But I finally in throwing in the towel and asking for help. 🥺 I have my Transmission_VPN docker working super well. It connects to my VPN provider, moves files once downloaded, wont start if the VPN is down, etc. It works great, except; No matter what I do, it always changes the read/write permissions to the /watch folder and won't let me copy .torrent files directly into it. Using SAFE NEW PERMS fixes it for a bit, but thats a massive PITA to have to run that all the time. So what I do now is every 60 minutes I run a script that executes "chmod -R 777 /mnt/user/DownloadsShare/unraidtorrents" I'm not new to deep diving into the esoterica of speciality OS's, and enterprise systems, BUT, I am not a Linux/Unix expert, and thus can't wrap my head around why I need to manually set the permission to 777 and why the TRANSMISSION_UMASK option set to 777 doesn't fix it. (Maybe thats just for creation of new FILES and it still somehow sets the folder permissions upon restart of the docker itself?) Does anyone have a way to call a script or the above bash command, or better yet just setup the docker itself through its internal Transmission features to not change the R/W permissions on the folders one needs to drop .torrent files into?
