Well, I've already crossed the line of being an elitist jerk to you. I'm not being helpful so I'll just excuse myself. I hope you get it worked out. Good luck.

no, he didnt invent the idea of a proxy cache... lol yes, he "just" did it in a docker https://askubuntu.com/questions/2368/how-do-i-set-up-a-cron-job

You could write a script to delete files older than a month. cheesemarathon threw together a docker that simply acts as a proxy cache for steam data. If you think keeping that data forever is "the worst cache option ever" then I don't think you are the intended audience. I suggest you make your own docker with a full browser interface and timers and blackjack and hookers yourself to show how much better than cheesemarathon you are... that will show him. In the mean time, thank you cheesemarathon for making a super basic steamcache so I don't have to buy a 2TB nvme drive for my vr set up, i can just get the 256GB nvme and cache all that stuff on my unraid server

I completely forgot about this thread and wanted to chime in that with the latest beta build allowing you to change the IP of a docker I have it set up on a different IP address than my unraid leaving port 80 available for the unraid interface. obviously it doesnt really matter to have unraid on a different port, i could have put it on 8080 or 443 or something, but it was a neat test.

Oh. I thought that's what you probably meant, but I didn't click edit so I didn't see that exact text. Sorry for being lazy. I've made the change on my home server and it appears to be working now. When I get home from work, I'm going to try the unRAID 6.4.0 feature for giving a docker a different IP address so my unRAID GUI can be on port 80 again. Not that it matters, I'm just curious. I'll chime back in with results..

I'm sorry, I dont understand. What is a key and where do i find the steamcache-ip key?

I'm having a little bit of a problem and it may have to do with being on unRAID 6.4.0-rc9f. I'm following the instructions by cheesemarathon, my unRAIDs ip address is 192.168.1.15 with no vlans. I've gone into settings>identification and changed the unRAID management port from 80 to 81, it no longer shows red on the list of deployed host ports in unRAID and in fact the docker starts fine with pretty much nothing in its log and the address when put into a browser gives me "Request Header Or Cookie Too Large". So I set my dns in windows to 192.168.1.15 and 8.8.8.8. When I try to run the following command in powershell Resolve-DnsName steamcache.cs.steampowered.com -server 192.168.1.15 I get a block of red text part of which says "DNS name does not exist". If i try to ping or nslookup that address it never resolves. I'm pretty sure at this point that its broken, but just for fun, I telnet in and run docker exec steamcache /scripts/watchlog.sh and I get a few blocks of yellow text, but when I try to download Terraria, theres no feedback on that log. I've never set up a steamcache before, so I have to admit I don't know what I'm doing there.

Shoot, I hate when this happens. I went to Outback with the wife, came back and put her to bed and now its working without me changing anything. Somehow it decided to change the XML accordingly Which caused the machine to boot to my windows installer, and the unraid driver detected the SSD I passed through with no problem and I'm now installing Windows. The problem is I don't know what to learn from this? Why did it create the alias name and backingStore lines?, and how am I supposed to determine the address type in the future so I can understand why it worked?

I followed your comments and found that the ID is "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-MKNSSDCR480GB-DX7_MK130912AS1103089" so the xml should read However, I get an error I don't know too much about PCI addresses, but in the full XML at the end of this post you might see that its already referenced in According to System Devices the following is true I have the device unmounted in Unassigned Devices, which is how I have attached physical drives to vm's in other hosts so I don't think that's it. Anyway, i appreciate your help and if you want to point me towards the proper place to ask this question if its unrelated to UD then please suggest the proper forum. Thanks again, and heres the full XML

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a way to mount a ssd that is not in my array directly to a virtual machine as a physical disk. The first two posts here allude to that being possible with this plugin, but I cant seem to find where in the interface to accomplish this. Do I still need to modify my XML for my VM to pass through the SSD to the VM?
