    You need to create (copy) the json file to the correct folder where Unifi is installed (usually under /appdata on your cache device).

     

    Yes - I already have an existing config.gateway.json file to set up OpenVPN server on my USG.   I was just wondering if it is possible to do this DNS forwarding option through the Controller software as Unifi keeps expanding the functionality available through the web UI.

  2. Here is the Docker run command.  @CHBMB - if the port mappings are irrlevant then does that mean that you can't change (for example) the http port for an Apache docker from 80?  Or would you have to do it in the config files internal to the docker?

     

    root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='CloudCommander' --net='br0' --ip='192.168.1.82' -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e 'TCP_PORT_8000'='80' -v '/':'/UNRAID':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/cloudcmd':'/root':'rw' 'coderaiser/cloudcmd'

     

  3. This docker does not seem to actually use the port numbers entered in the docker config.  I am using this in unRAID 6.4.1 and I am using a network type of br0 and I have given the docker its own IP address of 192.168.1.82.  I have set the port to 80 but I can only access the UI at port 192.168.1.82:8000.  Shouldn't I be able to access the web UI at port 192.168.1.82:80?

  4. I have a USG router and I had to enter these commands.  The way that I did it was via an ssh session to the USG where I did the following commands:
     

    configure
    set service dns forwarding options rebind-domain-ok=/unraid.net/
    commit
    save
    exit

    And it seems to work.  But this setting will not survive a reboot of the USG.  Is this a command that just has to be done once for the initial config or will this have to be redone upon reboot?  And if so then I guess I will have to add it to the json config file.

  5. I love being able to assign dockers their own IP address in 6.4 - but how do I display the docker IP address on the docker page?  I can see all of the port mappings but now I don't have to worry so much about port mappings as I can just use port 80 for the web UI for all of my dockers if they are on their own IP.

     

    If it matters I am on the Azure UI.

  6. I just happened to click on Edit Profile.  I noticed that you can enter your username for MSN Messenger, ICQ and AIM.  Are any of these services still alive?  Is it 2001? Can I run these services in a docker in unRAID 6.4?

     

  7. I think I have a P5B mobo in one of my systems, but that has to be about a decade old now - I think it was release in 2006.  If you are just using the system for file storage then you will likely be ok, but if you want to use it for VMs and run a bunch of dockers then you might want to bite the bullet and buy something newer.  Especially since I believe this only supports up to 4x2GB of DDR2 memory.

     

    But do you really want to build a file server that you hope to be using for a long time with a 10 year old motherboard?

    I use my HD300 SageTV extenders for my playback.  Won't do 4K but handles everything else well.  Since I have no 4K media not a problem for me.  Will not do netflix/amazon prime but I have PlayOn to record from either to MP4 which will play on HD300.

    Me too.  SageTV continues to be the best software for recording TV as it has a very mature TV recording backend that has been around for well over a decade.  There is a docker version that runs beautifully on an unRAID server and you can use the (old) SageTV extenders or AndroidTV devices like the Shield or MiBox as clients.  So if you care about recording TV, and my main use is for recording sports, then this is something to be considered.

    In the early days, memory was constrained and programmers were very conscious of those limitations. Early DOS had 64K memory! Today programmers think they have infinite memory! And they almost do! 

    I know - my excuse for not commenting code is that when I learned to program, bytes were too valuable to waste on non-functional code.

  10. Thanks - for power supply that one says - standard 2U ATX power supply.  Does that mean that a standard ATX power supply would fit or do you need a smaller one?

     

    What makes the SuperMicro case worth $400 more than a cheapo Rosewill case?  This will be in my electrical room so I won't care about noise.  It will be on a rack with a bunch of other equipment like Home Automation Controllers, Matrix amps and/or switches, etc.  And I don't know that I will need hot swapping.

    Keep in mind that a VM needs RAM from the host to manage the emulated hardware. So, if you allocate 8GB of RAM to the VM, the actual host RAM usage while the VM is running is probably closer to 10GB. Unraid itself needs about 4GB of RAM to be comfortable, so 16GB of RAM would be comfortable for 1 VM at a time. 

    This is getting way OT, but talk of this much memory makes me shake my head when I think back to the first PC I bought - a Commodore VIC-20 with 3.5 kiloBytes of memory.  We are now wondering if over 4,000,000 times that amount of memory is enough.  Sure, computers do a lot more than they could in 1981 but this is incredible!

  12. I am considering buying an equipment rack and putting my unRAID server on the rack.  Are there any recommendations on what case to go with?  And are there solutions that have the hard drives in a separate case than the PC?  If so how do the drives get connected to the PC?  With longer SATA cables?  Or is there some other type of cable?

  13. I don't know that I have had to SSH into the controller.  I had to use SSH to set up OpenVPN server as that wasn't available in the GUI when I set mine up a year or so ago and I don't know that it still is available, at least not for OpenVPN server.  But I am pretty sure that was done on my USG rather than the controller.  And I have had to SSH into my UAPs from time to time to get them set up and/or fix a stuck upgrade.
