On my server, I have a media share which then has subfolders of movies tvshows and music. I personally wouldn't map the container to /mnt as it gives that container access to everything on the server which it doesn't need to have. I would map the Container Path: /media to /mnt/user/media So then within Emby it would have a folder named /media which then only maps to the media share and its sub directories on the server. Then within Emby you can then map to /media/movies and /media/tvshows etc as then that will relate to the subfolders in the media share. Your config is fine and appdata should be stored on the cache (however don't put any media movies etc on the cache, it just wastes its space, keep all media on the array) Hope this helps and have a great new year

Thanks @born2hayt I have added those to the repo. i look forward to seeing your other icons when they are done

As promised here is an updated video tutorial for setting up this excellent container. Hope its useful

Yes the resolution in the ovmf and osx (from config.plist must match) in my guide to create the install media you will find a config.plist which has the correct resolution and correct machine definitions etc https://youtu.be/BFPiK1Ggbks?t=6m42s link to those files https://www.dropbox.com/s/zq4020mly9mgkw4/os sierra_highsierra support files.zip?dl=0

Ah, I would probably guess then that the VM is actually booting and the GPU is actually working. But now OSX is outputting from a different port from your GPU as the default. I had this happen when I upgraded from el Capitan to Sierra. If you have your card connected by HDMI to your monitor you may find that it is outputting from the DVI port. Can you connect it from that port to the monitor? Also, try the display port. I am sure you will find one is working. You can update clover to the last version (but I doubt this would help your problem) but for clover to work un patched we must use vmware-cpuid-freq=on in our XML so the VM runs at the correct speed. <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on'/> Also for the vmware-cpuid-freq=on to be recognised you need to be using pc-q35-2.9 or above so <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.10'>hvm</type> Using the vmware - cpuid -freq=on you should be free to update clover to whatever version comes out without issue. Before we couldn't due to the timing issues without using a patched clover.

Try changing this line <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.7'>hvm</type> to <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.10'>hvm</type> also change this <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=I GOT THE RIGHT KEY'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='type=2'/> <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> to <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-usb'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse,bus=usb-bus.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=I GOT THE RIGHT KEY'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='type=2'/> <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on'/> </qemu:commandline> Please try this and check back

I have been messing around with getting my osx VM to boot with a different virtual CPU from Penryn (not that it makes any performance difference to the VM) I changed the line in the XML from <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on'/> to this <qemu:arg value='SandyBridge,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on'/> I find when using Sandy Bridge, the host assigned vCPUs max out at 100% all the time the VM is powered on. If anyone has time could you check and see if you have the same happen when you switch to this CPU. I have tried it on Xeon and a Ryzen server and get the same results on both.

I havent tried a fresh install using newer clover but just quickly updated one of my vms to clover 4318 and it booted fine.

I have actually made a start on a new video for OpenVPN-AS will be up in next couple of weeks, hopefully, end of next week...

Yes another good one is no machine https://www.nomachine.com/

You don't need to use iscsi if the VM is on the same physical machine. You can just create a vdisk on the array or an unassigned disk. Then just attatch it to the vm as a second vdisk. You can put your vdisks wherever you like not just the cache.

I have made a guide for how to setup ISCSI targets on unRAID.

Ok. Yes, the onboard audio will not be able to be passed through to a VM. It would need to be in an iommu group on its own. The isa bridge, memory controller and SMBus are in there with it so it will not pass through. When you pass something through the whole iommu group must pass through. Imagine an iommu group is like a box you want to ship. You have to ship everything in the box. If the audio is a box with 3 other things you have to ship them all or nothing. Now with this iommu group, we cant just pass through everything here to a VM because the other devices are used by the host (unRAID server) so we cant do that. Now if we look at your other sound with the GPU that's in group 36. We can pass through that 'box' because everything in it is the same device the GTX 1050. (Also when passing through a graphics card anyway, it is always best to pass through all of it for it to work correctly as well. Especially windows VMS passing through just the vgs part and not the sound can cause driver issues.) So try the 1050 sound. You will need the Nvidia web drivers install and probably the HDMI kext (see my video on advanced osx VM techniques)

Sorry this reply is so late. It looks like your sound card isnt in its own iommu group. Can you confirm?

so was it working fine before 6.4.0-rc9f or is this the first time you have tried?

@gfjardim i am having same problem on 2 servers with 6.4.0_rc1 0b

Ah was hoping it would. But I don't actually use multiple instances myself but a friend does and was wondering if I should point him to it. I will try calibre web for myself though.

@CHBMB @fanningert thanks, I will take a look at calibre web, cause, yes cops is quite hard to set up. So anything easier if definitely a bonus! Do you know if you can connect to multiple instances of calibre with calibre-web?

Hi. I have made a video about setting up calibre and cops here. Hope some people may find it useful

Hi Guys. Here is a video tutorial on how to install and setup Calibre and Cops to manage ebooks. Setup multiple databases and email books to your readers. These 2 pieces of software work very well together. This video shows how to install the docker containers and configure them so you can easily manage ebooks on your unRAID server.

@Dual_Shock please post your xml, iommu groups, and your cpu thread pairings so we can see Definitely, try passing through the vbios.Your 770 probably didn't work because it didn't support EFI so would only work using seabios and not ovmf. Passing through a 770 vbios that does support that will make the card start with an EFI bios so work that or you could flash the card but its much easier to use rom in XML. Check your bios settings that your primary GPU is onboard if you have that and make sure that multi-monitor is off. Also don't mix cores from across your 2 CPUs.

Hi @gr2659 So when you say clover scans the entries then hangs, it just freezes/hangs before it tries to load OSX? So it is clover crashing and not OSX booting and crashing? The fake smc can be in the clover image in the efi/clover/kexts/other folder. However using 2.10 you dont have to use fakesmc but you would need to have your osk key which we can not post in the forums. but the end of your xml would look like this if not wanting to use fakesmc (i prefer not to use any kexts if possible) <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-usb'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse,bus=usb-bus.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=xxxxxxxxOSK_KEY_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='type=2'/> <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> You could try changing this part of your xml too as using ryzen (i'm not sure if this would help , i have no way to test as i dont have a ryzen cpu) Change this <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='2'/> </cpu> to this so <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='none'> <model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='2'/> </cpu> Just set the topology to how many cores that you assigned to your vm or just remove the topology line altogether.

@archedraft Wow, the guy who originally brought us the OSX VM on unRAID, likes my video! I haven't actually tried passing through my USB controller on High Sierra yet (as when I set it up there were no Nvidia web drivers for my GPU). But I will definitely try it this weekend now. My best guess is that because in this guide the XML is different to try to correct mouse tracking for the vnc. The USB tablet is added <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> And this relates to the changes below <qemu:arg value='-usb'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse,bus=usb-bus.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0'/> So these changes left in when passing through the USB controller possibly could be causing the issues with the mouse. So maybe try changing the XML to remove the USB tablet <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> and then changing the qemu:arg part back to this <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse'/>

Awesome. Great job just installed and working great. Thanks
