  1. Ah glad that worked Alot of private trackers don't allow these features as it allows connecting to clients which are not registered with the tracker.
  2. Can you check in deluge preferences/network that you dont have peer exchange or dht enabled
  3. click on the container and goto console then run curl ifconfig.co That will show the ip inside the container. Then goto https://www.iplocation.net/ you will see your wan ip here (not through the vpn) they should be different Then paste the ip from the curl command into the ip lookup page on the above location. It should report the location as CA Toronto. If it doesnt maybe something wrong with your openvpn config files
  4. Hi @electron286 thanks, glad that you enjoyed watching. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video even though it's not something you want to use I probably spend too much time changing and modding all my computer stuff from software to hardware. Recently building my i5 pfSense box into an Atari 800xl.
  5. So I have been using animated PNGs for some of my banners for a while now. So I thought it would be cool to take it a bit further and be able to have animated banners and also have banners be able to auto change randomly on a schedule. So here's how I did it. Hope you guys find it interesting
  6. It looks like the nic that you are passing through isnt in its own iommu. You will need to break it up or passthrough everything in that group. have a look at my vid here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQiMMeVNw-o&t=791s
  7. I made a video on what the new 6.7.0 looks like etc. There is a mistake in this video where I talk about the webgui: VM manager: remove and rebuild USB controllers. What I thought it was, I found out after it was available in 6.6.6 as well so wasnt it !! Also shows how to upgrade to rc for those who don't know and downgrade again after if needs be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRD1qVqcyB8&feature=youtu.be
  8. @limetech I have these 2 nics as part of the motherboard [8086:1539] 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: [8086:1539] 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: I was using in the syslinux configuration: xen-pciback.hide=(06:00.0) to stop Unraid from using that nic for itself as it had the same id as another nic on the motherboard as above. I have upgraded to 6.7 yet the nic is still hidden from the OS and it passes through fine to the vm. So the is this something that works now. But this kernel option will no longer work in future/final 6.7 so we are moving to the config/vfio-pci.cfg file in preparation?
  9. It should work just changing the container name to the server ip resolver 127.0.0.11 valid=30s; upstream collabora { server 10.10.20.199:9980; } This part above sets the name collabora to 10.10.20.199:9980 so then nothing else needs changing after its defined. Then later when collabora is in the config as below, it relates to what was defined above. # static files location ^~ /loleaflet { proxy_pass https://collabora; proxy_set_header Host $host; } So then the https://collabora is the same as https://10.10.20.199:9980; But how your file is will work too specifying the IP and port each time instead.
  10. I don't like your office chair much
  11. Ah, @Squid I was about to post a request for a feature then read the thread to realize that I never said thank you for what you did last time. So I should just be told to f off for being an ungrateful sod. Well if you forgive me for forgetting could I ask for something else for you to consider? It would be awesome to be able to have a custom tab that runs a user script. That would be awesome. I use a script with one of my VMS at the moment. What it does is delete the vdisk of that VM then copy another 'backup' of it when the VM was first set up. So it kind of resets the windows VM to factory defaults! I use it for things that I would trust running/doing on a normal VM. Then afterward I just run the script and the VM is back how it was. Would be great to be able to click a custom tab to run that script the have it do that then start the VM. I know not many people would have the same use case as me for that but it would be cool to just be able to do things such as run a script that you often use right from any web UI page. I am sure that it would take quite a bit of work to do and I am sure that you have enough to do already. But maybe I could do a deal with you. In exchange as I live in the UK and not too far away from @CHBMB If he annoys you on the forums I could try and find his house and cut his telephone line so he has no internet
  12. Just thought I would point out your disk 3 and 4 being ssds. You should not use ssds in part of a parity protected array as the garbage collection can break parity. It's fine to use them as unassigned drives or in the cache (or in an array with no parity drive) Just thought i would mention in case you had them in the array
  13. I would really like to get an AMD GPU in my server. I bought a second hand AMD 470 a while ago from eBay and had a few problems with it. In bare metal, it just wouldn't install the driver correctly and the driver would fail to start. So there was something wrong with the card. I fixed it by reflashing the vbios on the card from tech powerup. So now I tried it in Unraid passed through to a VM. I had the reset problem. But only on VMs that used ovmf. However, if I used seabios then I had no reset problems with the card. I am not sure if my reset problem just happening with only ovmf and not seabios was down to the fact the card was just bad when I bought it from eBay and reflashing it didn't fully fix all the problems with the card. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has had good results with an AMD 480 or 580 or similar and what vendor and card you used. Thanks:)
  14. Try enabling MSI interrupts in Windows VM on the GPU and all sound devices MSI_util.zip I also found when I set up a VM for a colleague a few months ago that used an oculus and a racing sim setup that had a whole lot of USB devices plugged in, that performance with the USB devices wasn't good and things were dropping off until I enabled MSI interrupts on the USB controllers as well. Maybe worth trying msi interrupts on GPU sound and USB? Also, you could try assigning 3 cores to the VM and leaving the first core free for Unraid. But an i7 8700 would most definitely help a whole lot !!
  15. Hey guys here is a tutorial on how to install and setup a Collabora Document Server and configure it to work with Nextcloud as a Docker container on Unraid. It shows how to set it up running through a reverse nginx proxy. Collabora is a LibreOffice Online document suite. this gives you control over your own documents and integrates with nextcloud. So no longer any need for google drive and google docs! This video guide makes use of @chvb great container.
  16. Your XML looks good and will pass through the iommu group 14. Your append line it looks fine too. But just as a side note many people (myself included until jonp told me a while ago) you can just add extra parameters to the end of the line. They don't have to be between the append and the initrd so the line can look like this as you have it append xen-pciback.hide=(02:00.0)(02:00.1) initrd=/bzroot or just at the end append initrd=/bzroot xen-pciback.hide=(02:00.0)(02:00.1) they just have to be on the same line. I think it is less likely to make a typo have it at the end.
  17. The error Unknown PCI header type '127' is because the card isn't resetting correctly. This is a problem that can happen with some AMD cards. However, you have no problem with the windows VM. So why is this? Well by default there is a difference in a Windows VM and a Linux VM. The Windows VM will use a machine type of i440fx whilst the Linux VM will use a machine type of pc-Q35. I have found that you can start and stop as many VMS as you want using machine type i440fx without this error occurring. However, if you start and stop a VM using pc-Q35 then you will get this error and only a reboot will fix it. You could make a Linux VM using i440fx so then you could stop your windows VM then start the Linux one without having to reboot the server.
  18. Yes any container that you pin cores/hyperthreads to will be restricted to running only on those cores Glad you like the videos.
  19. @bland328 that's good you have fixed the prob. Thanks for sharing the info
  20. give splashtop desktop (personal) a try. Works really well https://www.splashtop.com/downloads
  21. another thing i forgot to mention, make sure the onboard aspeed vga is set as the primary gpu in the bios of the mb. If it is it should output the Unraid consoles from its display.
  22. Hi, @slimshizn thanks for posting that. looking at your iommu groups you do not need to use the PCIe acs override patch for your iommu. the grouping is fine how it is. Also if you don't get an error when starting the VM then you don't need to enable the unsafe interrupts either. So that's good news. I think your problem of the crash is related to the USB controller: Fresco Logic FL1100 USB 3.0 Host Controller If I remember @CHBMB discovered that this chipset doesn't play nicely with supermicro motherboards and would cause a crash. Please try removing the USB card from the server and do some testing and see if that resolves your problem. Edit -- found post where CHBMB discussed this findings
  23. Hi @slimshizn sorry to hear that you are having problems with your server. Reading through your post I was a little confused reading about the MSI interrupts. I am guessing that you are adding to your syslinux config file/setting in vm settings and allowing unsafe interrupts. Unsafe interrupts are used when your server doesn't support interrupt remapping, this is different to MSI interrupts in the VM. I know too many bloody interrupts gets confusing The MSI interrupts are enabled in the os and are normally used when the sound isn't working correctly and it breaks up a bit. Its commonly known as demonic sound. But this wouldn't help you using this in your vms when it comes to the vm and the crashing. So to troubleshoot, lets start from the beginning. Can you try the following, please? Remove all of the custom settings in settings/VM Manager (and or syslinux config if you manually added things) so both PCIe ACS override and VFIO allow unsafe interrupts set them both to disabled and reboot your server. Once rebooted please go to tools/system devices and copy your PCI Devices and IOMMU Groups into this thread so we can see them. That way we can see what gpu you have and its natural iommu grouping. Then with your gpu passed through to the VM (and its sound counterpart) start the VM. If you get an error copy that error and also paste it into this thread. Then we can advise you on what settings to try next.
  24. @Josh.5 yes, having the SCHEDULE_FULL_SCAN_MINS set to 0 and it not scanning the library at all, would be great. Most of the time I would just like to point the container at my media and it only convert new things as they are added. However, having the ability to disable the inotify watcher in the template as well may be useful too. I was thinking of using 2 instances of the container. One which would run 24/7 doing only the inotify watcher encodes (probably just limited to using a couple of cores) and the other instance, I would have user scripts start at night and stop in the morning working on only the library encodes but using all the available cores. Yes, using the ram for the cache files is a good idea but I guess one would have to keep the worker threads low otherwise it would use too much ram. I was wondering what the use case of using multiple worker threads beyond one for each library location and one for the inotify watcher would be. I did notice that when running the container on 8 cores it would just about max out those cores. But running it on 16 cores only about 45% of each core is being used. So I guess having more workers would saturate higher core counts? Or is there another use case? Oh also, I forgot to ask before would it be possible to be able to adjust the various video encoding quality settings, please? (although the ones used seem to produce good results that I have seen) Anyway just want to thank you for all you work on this container its great
