Does that cause any problems with the docker, or anything else for that matter?

I hope you haven't been having to buy high end video cards. Recently they have been expensive and hard to get due to crypto miners.

I hope to do this when I upgrade to 6.4 - any idea if there is any additional config work required on the Unifi side? I am still on 6.3.5 and if I can remember properly off the top of my head I let the Unifi docker have the default ports like 8080 and 8443 - but they are currently on the same IP as my docker, which is 192.168.1.99. So when I go to 6.4 and move the Unifi docker container to a new IP, say 192.168.1.201, will I have to do anything to tell my devices like my WAPs and USG that the Controller is now on a different IP?

I am not familiar with aria2 but when I look into it a bit it seems that this may allow you to do multi-segment FTP downloads - is that the case? It is hard to find user friendly FTP clients that can do multi-segment downloads. I have been using BitKenix on Windows for years as it is one of the few FTP clients that I can find that can do multi-segment downloads. Using this with a 50 segment download I get speeds of up to 10 MBps on FTPs from Europe to Canada. Using something like Filezilla I can only get about 2.2MBps. But BitKenix is seriously obsolete - it would be great to be able to replace it. Can aria2 do the trick?

Is this as much of a security risk on a home system that isn't directly connected to the net. Sure I can see the risk of you are on AWS and anyone can buy space on the SAME CPU as you and run code that can break through the VM layer and suck out info. But for my home server is this an issue?

I like installing XRDP on Linux VMs and also use RDP for Linux machines. I find it makes it easier to just use one RDP client - in this case Windows Remote Desktop from my workstation. There was a bit of a trick to installing XRDP on recent versions of Ubuntu, but it wasn't too painful.

Ok - now I feel stupid. D'oh! I must just have a configuration issue as I don't have the flags and country names showing up on the Peers tab. I will have to play around to fix that. As Emily Latella used to say "Never Mind!"

Thanks sparklyballs. Following on a bit from my discussion a few weeks ago - is it possible to get the geoip plugin for rutorrent added to the docker image? It seems to be in the main github repo for rutorrent located here: https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent/tree/master/plugins

I am getting the following error when the rutorrent webUI starts up - this doesn't seem to be affecting the functionality. Spectrogram is a plugin that is intended to show the spectrogram of audio files. I have never used it and probably never will. How do I delete it or does it have to be removed from the Docker image? spectrogram: Plugin will not work. rTorrent user can't access external program (sox).

I had the STUN problem which wasn't obvious until now as a new version of the Controller software highlights this on the main Devices page. I assume that has been fixed now in the template? I wait impatiently for 6.4 to be released so that I can use a separate IP for each Docker, just as saarg does, so that issues like this become history.

I am considering building a new system and am wondering what strategy to use for hard drives. Initially I would like 12TB of storage which gives me a fair bit of headroom. I am aware that the parity drive has to be the biggest drive in the system. I don't want to have more than six HDs in the system and I want to avoid having to replace a parity drive for size reasons if at all possible. My data needs will likely grow a bit, but I don't see them going way up unless media changes drastically in the near future (ie. we go to 8K/4320p for movie files). So what is the best hard drive configuation? 12TB parity drive and one 12TB data drive 6TB parity drive and two 6TB data drives 4TB parity drive and three 4TB data drives A combination of the above - such as a 6TB parity drive and 4TB data drives Some other combination I imagine that option 3 is probably the cheapest as I am only buying 16TB in total storage and 4TB is properly the sweet spot for $/TB. With my six drive limitation I can still get to 20TB in the future which is probably enough. And by the time I get to 20TB mechancial hard drives may even be obsolete if SSDs can fall drastically in price. And when a drive fails (and eventually they will) it will be cheaper to replace a 4TB drive than a larger drive. But the downside to this is that I can't put in bigger than 4GB data drives without first replacing the parity drive. Any opinions?

Thanks. Do you have this script autorun when the container starts? If so how do you do that?

Thanks. There is an rutorrent folder in appdata and I believe that the plugins go in /rutorrent/plugins or more fully: /var/www/rutorrent/plugins The plugin that I specifically want to see installed is geoip which shows the country name and flag as in the image below. I don't know that there is even any config to do for this plugin. (edit - To be honest, I am not sure anyone would NOT want this plugin. Maybe we can have it made part of the core rutorrent docker?)

Thanks Bob. On issue 1 is Docker Safe New Permissions what I should be looking for? Regarding issue 2 - shouldn't there be a way for the docker image to pull plugins from the appdata folder? I believe that I have other dockers that use a similar methodology. Then they could be merged into the docker, or whatever, when the docker is updated.

Bueller... anyone.... Bueller...

Two questions: I have this error repeating in my log: error: failed to rename /var/log/php7/error.log to /var/log/php7/error.log.1: Permission denied - how do I fix this? How do I install plugins for rutorrent? I thought that they way to do it is to download to an /rutorrent/plugins folder. I don't have any such folder within my appdata/rutorrent folder. Should I? Or is there anyother way to install plugins.

Ok, thanks. It just seems to me like 6.4 is taking a very long time to get released - we are up to something like rc10 now, aren't we.

I was going to wait until 6.4 to implement this but I am losing patience so I want to try this out on my 6.3.5 system. Any risks in creating the br0 interface - ie. could it break anything that I currently have running? I will want to set the IP range to 192.168.1.224-255 so I am going to use 192.168.1.224/27 which was pointed out to me earlier in this thread. If I want a bigger range is 192.168.1.192/26 a valid setting? (I don't totally understand the /24 etc stuff in networking but I think this is correct). What does the ip-range command do? Does that set the valid range for ip addresses in homenet or is that the range of addresses that can be assigned by the DHCP server in homenet. If I am going to be assigning static IPs to some of my dockers when creating them by including an argument like --ip 192.168.1.193 then is the macvlan smart enough to not assign that address to future dockers that I create? Can I assign a static IP to a docker in homenet that is outside of the IP range. Let's say I use the following command to create the homenet: Could I then assign a static IP to a docker with parameters like "--network homenet --ip 192.168.1.200" ? Or is this not a valid IP when using the network homenet as it must use an address in the range defined when homenet was created?

Thanks - for now I have set a static IP in the vm by putting an entry in the /etc/network/interfaces file. When did you start using funky adapter names like enp2s1 rather than eth0? I will give this a while and see if it behaves now. When you set a static IP in the network config you don't have to change anything in the router do you? The static Ip that I have set is outside of my HDCP range.

Where do I find that info - here is a cut and paste from my xml file - I didn't change anything as I just used the defaults when I built the VM. <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:8f:42:1f'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </interface>

I set up an Ubuntu 16.04 VM in my server a few months ago and every few weeks or so it will have an issue where the IPv4 network seems to disappear. When this happens I can no longer access the VM via SSH or XRDP (more normal methods) but I can still get in using the noVNC through the web UI. When I get in I do an ifconfig and I see that the line with the IPv4 info is missing. Normally I would restart the VM but last time I issued the command "sudo service network-manager restart". That brought it back. I am currently using a DHCP connection. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Should I try a statically assigned IP instead?

Just trying this out and I have a question about folder mapping. By default my python code files are being stored in /home/nobody/PyCharmProjects. Where does this map to in the outside world - as in how do I get to these files when I am not in the docker? Does it make sense to use other folders for you files, like a user share that is accessible to the outside world? And what is the best place to execute Python files after you have finished with them? In the PyCharm docker? For example I have some python cgi scripts that I use for home automation. I currently have these running in an Ubuntu VM but I am thinking about moving these to an Apache docker. Or should (or even can) I execute them in the PyCharm Docker? FYI - I haven't really used PyCharm before, I normally have just used Notepad++ to write my Python code.

The Shield is a great option but the Xiaomi MiBox3, which one person mentioned in this thread, is also a very good option. It is an Android TV box, just like the Shield, but it doesn't have quite as much horsepower. But it only costs $69.

How would you install to appdata and symlink? Would you have to link the appdata folder to /usr/bin/python? What about any libraries that get installed - will they be found?

Thanks Bob - that worked I am now able to execute my Hello World Python script. Any idea how persistent this is? When the Apache docker container is updated will I have to redo this? In my instance I just did: sudo apt-get install python The SageTV community comes through again!
