    [Support] Linuxserver.io - OpenVPN AS

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    So I managed to make the password change without a problem, but then I made a few changes to my container settings and it updated the container. The admin password was then reset to the default and didn't remember the new password I had set

     

    Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to have to change the admin password everytime the container receives an update

    when using the calibre rdp docker, how do I connect up my kobo so that I can transfer the books over to my device? If this were a VM I could pass through the USB but thats not the case here. Whats the best way of doing this? Or do I have to use the server and download the file over wifi (would like to avoid wifi connections if possible)...?

    Docker image is filling quickly

    in Docker Engine

    Posted

    Ive started getting warnings about my docker image file filling up. Its currently at 72%, and it goes up by 1% every 4ish hours

     

    The only things I run are:

    couchpotato

    sonarr

    zoneminder

    emby

    delugevpn

    ddclient

     

    As per the FAQ (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40937.msg405070#msg405070) I have ensured that the appropriate directories are mapped to user shares so nothing actually gets saved within the image

     

    Is there a way to diagnose this? Or to check what is using up the space? Do old, deleted, docker templates still reside in the image? (e.g. I used to run plex but have since removed it)

    Moving and deleting shares

    in General Support

    Posted

    On my unraid server I have completely disabled disk shares and only use user shares. I have each user share manually assigned to 1, and only 1 drive. For example, my 'Games' shares has 'Included disks' set to only 'Disk 3'. I like this because I can be sure that when I pull a disk out of the machine I know whats on it.

     

    Anyway, now I want to do 2 separate things:

     

    1. I want to move a share from 1 disk to another disk, so I can remove the first disk from the machine permanently. How do I do this correctly and ensure that all the data, and access to that data, is correct?

     

    2. How do I completely remove a share and all of its files from the server? I dont see an option for this on the Shares page of the webui, and even if there is one, does that remove all the files from disk as well? Or only access to the share? I want to remove everything associated with the share, including all the files

    VM Snapshot

    I actually broke one of ubuntu VMs yesterday when trying to set up some nvidia CUDA library stuff. I'm not even sure what I did but I ended up having to reinstall everything because I didn't have a backup of the image :(

    Unraid as a desktop OS

    in General Support

    You should try rdp into windows first.  It's good enough for casual monitoring, but slow for typical office apps with cursor lag. Gaming via rdp is not recommended. But with 2 video cards in your desktop, both passed through you would be golden.

     

    yeah ive tried RDP into a windows VM across the network and that was quite slow. I've never tried it on the same machine though, I think I saw a video that showed it was pretty good speed wise if its kept local to the machine

    Unraid as a desktop OS

    in General Support

    I know this is possible, but I'm wondering how many people actually use unraid as a desktop OS and whether thats a good idea?

     

    I often find myself switching between linux and windows on my desktop. I want to use linux, but I can't get away from windows due to gaming. Dual booting is a bit of a pain as I hate having to restart just to get into a game for 5 minutes, only to reboot again to continue doing work in linux. Setting up gpu passthrough in linux is also a pain to get working

     

    Unraid makes gpu passthrough extremely simple and is what I'm currently going on my server for non-gaming purposes

     

    To get the best of both worlds I thought I could install unraid on my desktop and create 2 VMs. One for linux which will have all my monitors plugged into, and one for windows to hold my games. Then I can work in linux, and just quickly RDP into the windows VM to play games

     

    I guess restarting/shutting down the machine will be more difficult with this as you can just poweroff the VM, you'd have to poweroff both VMs AND unraid...

     

    Are there any downsides to a setup like this? Are there any alternatives?

    VM Snapshot

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    It would be great to have the ability to take snapshots of a VM at different points in time. I can think of at least 2 use cases for this:

     

    1) install an OS, take a snapshot, and treat it as a kind of "base install" so if you wanted to "reformat" you can reload the base snapshot without having to go through the entire install process again

    2) If you're doing some complex setups that have a high chance of breaking things, take a snapshot, make your changes, and if things go wrong just roll back to the snapshot you made to revert all changes instantly

     

    I think this would be extremely useful and is offered by programs like virtualbox. I'm not sure if its any more complicated than just creating a copy of the vdisk img and saving to some specified share location?

    [Support] Linuxserver.io - Apache

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    It's a pretty specific one.

     

    I run an ipython/jupyter notebook (http://jupyter.org/) in a virtual machine but I want to be able to access it over the internet. The page itself loads fine, but I can't access the python kernel without proxy_wstunnel being enabled in apache. The lack of kernel access makes the entire thing pointless so its pretty important. I set up a temp apache VM just for a reverse proxy and it seems to work with that module enabled so I believe that to be the cause, however, I could be wrong if there are any other differences in the apache setups...
