Oh, I forgot to ask initially - is there a way to enter this via the Unifi Controller software or does it have to be done via the CLI?

Thanks Bonienl - I will add that to my existing config.gateway.json file.

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.

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?

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).

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?

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.

Ok - I think I have found this. It is in the painfully named /var/lib/docker/containers/123456789074329872398471204271304723094872307234/ folder where the last parameter is the Container ID. Is that correct? And why use the Container ID rather than the docker name? That makes it a pain to find the correct docker. How do I limit the size of the log file? Or is this best done from within the application?

I created a semi-manual docker for the Harmony-api using this file. It works fine and when I click on the Docker from the unRAID UI I can see the log. But I can't figure out what file the log is actually stored in. Should it be in /var/log? I don't see anything there. I am concerned that this log will grow to be very large as it is constantly polling the Logitech Harmony hubs on my LAN. It seems that it will grow to at least a few hundred kB per day. Is there any way to have the log flush every day or X number of bytes?

Or even better - SageTV which is a fully fledged DVR system that has been around for over a decade. It fully supports the HDHR and all kinds of other tuners. And there is a docker version available that runs really well.

I am using this docker but I had to change the port number from the default 8765 to 8899. But when I try to start the web UI the docker still tries to use port 8899 and I get an error. How do I change it so that when I start the web UI from the unRAID GUI to make it go to the correct port?

There is some discussion from about a month ago with some users having issues when deleting backups. What is the best way to delete old backups? Can I do it from Windows? Should I do it with an ssh session to my root ID on my unRAID server? Or is there another recommended way to do this?

A separate GPU for each client or can you also different ports (HDMI/DVI/etc) from one card to multiple VMs? Otherwise you have three (or more) GPUs in one PC?

I built an unRAID server about six months ago to replace my existing SageTV server as the current devs for SageTV are mainly using the docker version of SageTV so it is more current and has more functionality than the Windows version. (FYI - SageTV is similar to Windows Media Center Edition but it is better in most ways - and MCE was killed by MS. SageTV has had hardware extenders for over a decade that make it easy to have a centralized media server that can record TV and serve up ripped media content to multiple spots in your house. SageTV was bought by Google several years ago but it was Open Sourced a year or two ago and development has resumed.) My SageTV unRAID server is connected to two HD-PVRs which are connected to cable boxes so they can record all cable TV content at 1080i or 720p. I also have two dual tuner HDHR OTA tuners. All nine TVs in my house have SageTV HD200 or HD300 extenders and this is how we watch media for the most part - watching recorded TV shows or ripped DVD files. The only downside is that SageTV cannot directly serve up streaming video like Netflix. My unRAID server also runs Ubiquiti Unifi to control my networking needs as I have five Unifi WAPs and a Unifi router. I also run other dockers like Letsencrypt, Plex, AirVideoHD, etc. And, of course, the unRAID server acts as my file server.

Or maybe you can store the Kodi thumbnails on the same drive as your media files - as long as it wouldn't degrade performance.

Good to know - I only became worried about this as I recently had the second SD card fail for me on a RPi and I figured that SD cards and flash drives are pretty much the same thing. But I guess the Pi is using the SD card all the time, unlike unRAID's use of the flash drive.
