    This should be recommended watching for anyone who is using SMB shares with Windows.  The Permissions section is well done and shows the types of issues that you can ( and, probably, will) encounter if you want to ever setup Secure or Private shares in the future.  Having a bit of background may allow to setup both your Windows users and passwords so as not to give problems when you setup your Unraid Users and passwords. 

    Thanks, @Frank1940   :)

    Interesting video, I'll be interested to see what else you produce with this series.

    I posted this on another one of your threads, I don't know if you saw it, but the first-half might be of interest to you for this thread.

    @Jcloud  Thanks for the info. I did a video a while ago for linked connections so didnt add it to this video only referenced it in the vid.

    I read your post. Thanks for  the tip for removing those crap windows programmes like candy crush.... god i hate that built-in bloat :)

    Hi Guys. Here is the second part of a series taking an in-depth look at Unraid shares. 

    This one mainly looks at MacOS and Unraid. Looking at setting up and using shares with MacOS. 

    It goes through various problems that you can have with shares and macOS and how to overcome them. 

    Such as how to stop files like the .ds_store and other files from being created on the array.

    It also looks at how to create a Time machine backup share to keep your Mac backed up on your Unraid server.

     

    Hope you find this vid interesting :)

    This video is the first part of a series taking an in depth look at Unraid shares. 
    This first one gives a brief introduction then looks at SMB shares and how Windows PCs interatct with them.

    It shows how to create and connect to both public and private shares etc
    It goes through various problems that people have and the solutions to overcome them. But also it shows some useful tips such as adding features in the smb extras such as creating custom shares.
    Hope that you find this video interesting.

    ** VIDEO GUIDE ** How to Setup and Configure a Reverse Proxy on unRAID with LetsEncrypt & NGINX

    Newbie questions #1,  I previously added SSL, HTTPS in unraid settings. Using this guide do i remove those settings/changes for this letsencrypt tutorial? 

    Were you forwarding port 443 to your Unraid server to access the webUI from outside? If not you need make no changes.

    If you were then you will need to change the forwarding of external port 443 to internal port 443. Change it to forward external port 443 to for example internal port 1443. Then map in the letsencrypt template port 1443 to 443 in the container like below

     Question #2, I previously set some things up with duckdns and my previous router and dockers and they were working fine, now i have changed to a new pfsense box and want to use cloudflare with my own domain name, does duckdns still have a role to play? Sorry for basic questions, just trying to figure all this out. Big thanks for any help/knowledge

    You dont have to use duckdns if using your own domain. But you need to make sure that your subdomain is always pointing to your wan Ip if you dont have a static wan IP. So you would need to have some dynamic dns tracker.

    If you are using cloudflare you can setup cloudflare dns in pfSense and use that with your subdomain. Hope thats helps.

    This is my my current setup.

     

    Slot 1 ( PCI-E 3.0 x16/ x8) ---->  GT 610 (unRaid WebUI)

    Slot 2 (PCI-E 3.0 x8) ----> GT 1050 Ti (Transcoding)

     

    My question is if I remove my GT 610 and plug my GT 1050Ti in the primary slot will I be able to use my graphic cards for hardware decoding in docker considering that I don't have any VM's using graphic cards and I rarely boot into unRaid WebUI mode.Mostly I'll login into  WebUI remotely.

     

    I want to move back to a single card setup as it means less heat and I can use my 2 x PCI-E (x1) slots obstructed by heat-sinks.

    Yes that will be fine using the gtx 1050ti on its own.

    Like you say so long as you don't use gui mode or a vm whilst any gpu transcoding is going on then you will be fine.

    I did have them both checked and unchecking and restarting the docker fixed it! Why do you think those settings were blocking things?

     

    Thanks!!

    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.

    Hey all! Trying to get the DelugeVPN container to work.  Followed SpaceInvaderOne's tutorial but seem to have an issue with torrents not starting.  They get added but forever stay paused at 0%.

    I am using PIA and input my user and pass into the config, changed STRICT_PORT_FORWARD and ENABLE_PRIVOXY to yes, selected a PIA Server that supports port forwarding (CA Toronto) and placed that ovpn file in the openvpn folder along with the 2 ca.rsa.2048 files.  Everything appears fine when it starts but when I add torrents they just stay paused at 0%.  Any thoughts? Thanks!

    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

    Hi, I love the guide, however, I am having an issue with starting the VM. I am on step 3.

    This pops up

    internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2019-01-24T03:29:45.614726Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=07:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.3,addr=0x0: vfio error: 0000:07:00.0: failed to setup container for group 15: failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted

     

    Thanks

    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

    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.

    k  Try out the update.  Switch the "type" to be URL (open in same tab)

    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 :)

    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 :)

     

    Anyone know of an AMD polaris GPU that doesn't suffer from reset problems

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    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:)

    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 !!
