I guess another option is to leave it in host mode and not on proxynet. In that case, instead of using Docker to resolve each other by DNS I could hard code the IP of the unRAID server in the proxy_pass on this line: https://github.com/linuxserver/reverse-proxy-confs/blob/master/plex.subdomain.conf.sample#L33 I am still interested in anything I can do locally via DNS on my USG gateway. I'm fairly new to networking. Also, if I did want to edit those template files what is the supported way to do that? Would I copy the xml and call it custom-plex.xml and make my changes there?

When I have the network for Plex set to "Host" I see these mappings listed. 10.9.81.99:1900/UDP <--> 10.9.81.99:1900 10.9.81.99:32400/TCP <--> 10.9.81.99:32400 10.9.81.99:32400/UDP <--> 10.9.81.99:32400 10.9.81.99:32469/TCP <--> 10.9.81.99:32469 10.9.81.99:32469/UDP <--> 10.9.81.99:32469 10.9.81.99:5353/UDP <--> 10.9.81.99:5353 No clue where this list is comming from? Perhaps something within the Dockerfiles somewhere. I manually set "-p 32400:32400" in the "Extra Parameters" and I was able to connect locally. I have Unify/Ubiquiti equipment. How would I make it so that I could use that domain name inside my network? From outsite my network, that domain name points to my public IP address and I have my USG map port 80 and 443 to my unraid server port 180 and 1443 (because unRAID already uses 80 and 443). This then hits the reverse proxy and goes to the correct Docker. From inside my network if I had plex.mydomain.com resolve to 10.9.81.99 then what would be doing the translation from 80 and 443 to 180 and 1443? I understand that you advise to run in host mode, but isn't that accomplished by defaulting to host mode?

No, the webui doesn't work for Plex but it does for Nextcloud. The act of switching Nextcloud to "Custom : proxynet" does not affect my ability to connect locally. The act of switching Plex to "Custom : proxynet" DOES affect my ability. In the screenshot you see there are no Port Mappings listed for Plex but they still exist for letsencrypt, Collabora, and nextcloud. I'm saying there is something different about this Plex template. Is it possible to edit this template somewhere? I looked at all of these and noticed that Plex doesn't have any Publish->Port section while the other templates do. Perhaps this is the issue? Could this be added? I have to believe this is what is currently preventing me from connecting directly via local network and having to traverse the internet. https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-templates/blob/master/linuxserver.io/letsencrypt.xml https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-templates/blob/master/linuxserver.io/nextcloud.xml https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-templates/blob/master/linuxserver.io/plex.xml

Let's Encrypt is setup. I didn't do any configuration on the Plex side other than switching my network. I have it set up exactly how the video described.... Ok my router/firewall I have WAN port 80 and 443 mapped to 180 and 1443 on my unRAID server. I have letsencrypt running on proxynet network using ports 180 and 1443. Then I have config files for nginx which pass plex.* subdomain onto plex:32400 Everything seems to work when I access it through internet (https://plex.whatever.com) but I can no longer access it using http://<ip of unraid>:32400 Curious why port mappings disappear on Plex when switching to proxynet but other dockers like Nextcloud or even the letsencrypt still list them.

Hi, I just followed this guide "How to Setup and Configure a Reverse Proxy on unRAID with LetsEncrypt & NGINX" (linked below). When he did this and set his "Network Type" to "Custom : proxynet" it still showed "Port Mappings (App to Host)" When I switch to "Custom : proxynet" on my linuxserver Plex docker the port mappings disappear. How I can get to my Plex server via https://plex.mydomain.com which goes over the internet, through a reverse proxy, doing SSL, etc... but now it seems impossible to to get to Plex locally. How can I do this? Why did those "Port Mappings" dissappear on this Plex docker?

Hi, how do I re-install? I do not see the option.

I get this error when running rclone after sshing into my unRAID box. # rclone /usr/sbin/rclone: line 21: rcloneorig: command not found Is there a way to uninstall/reinstall or force reinstall?

I have UNRAID running on some older PC hardware. It's to the point I'm afraid to turn it off because I'm not sure it'll turn back on. I'd like to move my unraid to a more stable solution. I'm looking at re-doing my home networking and buying a proper rack (patch panel, UniFi stuff... USG, cloud key, 16 port switch, NVR, cameras, etc) I just saw on amazon for $268.11 "Premium Dell PowerEdge R610 Server 2x 3.33Ghz X5680 6C 48GB (Certified Refurbished)". I was thinking this is cheaper than the $365 NVR and is more powerful. Would love to move my UNRAID to this thing, then I could run both the NVR and Plex on it. Unfortunately it only supports 2.5" drives. Any idea if there is other used hardware out there similar to this but supports 3.5" drives? I have 3x 8TB drives. Basically, I'm asking where is a sweet spot right now in late 2018 to find a rack server supporting 3.5" drives to run unRAID on?

Okay, Ryzen has been out for a little while now. Motherboards have shipped updated BIOS, where is the FAQ? A search for Ryzen on the wiki yields no results. If I were to build a Ryzen box today to run a gaming VM on are there motherboards or chipsets that are preferred?... Or ones to stay away from? I'm kind of in awe here, it seems like Ryzen and unRAID would be a match made in heaven. So many cores/threads for relatively cheap. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

So I've heard two things here. Someone mentioned a UUID from an XML file and someone mentioned a "hardware fingerprint". Also, "re-installing on the same system will work with no problem" ... but what exactly (or combination of things) makes it the same system?

Thanks, do you know the details about what Windows looks at to determine if it's a new PC or not? I'm trying to see what the most I can get away with is, legally of course. If I buy a single license can I use it on multiple VMs so long as only one of them is running at a time?

I'm wondering how a Windows 10 license plays nicely with these VMs? I saw that it is popular to buy a license online but for like $15 but they're OEM licenses... something about them not being able to be transferred? How does this work with VMs on unRAID? It took me several tries to get my Ubuntu VM configured the way I want it... if I get one of these licenses do I have to get it right the first time? Any tips please?

Looking for recommendations on how to name / organize my shares as well as transcoding options. I have 3x 8TB drives with 1 as parity so 16TB of storage. Previously, before unRAID I just shared a 1TB directly from my Linux workstation. I would rip my BluRays and transcode them twice... once at 1080 and once at 720 (still have some tablets the kids use that are 720p) Then I started running out of storage. Now that I have 16TB and I'm running Plex it opens more options and I need your help. Organization: Should I create a Photos share, a Music share, a Movies share, a TV Shows share? Or should it be a "Media" share with appropriate subfolders under it? Should I keep a "kids" folder under Movies and TV Shows or should "Kids" be at a higher level? Transcoding: Movies. Should I just keep the 20-30GB BluRay rips and 4GB DVD rips on my server and just let Plex do the transcoding?... Maybe do that until I run out of space then start transcoding? My old machine seems to be able to handle transcoding okay. My Chromecast (1st gen) was struggling to even play a 5Mbps 1080p so I had Plex transcoding at 720p and some lower bitrate... worked fine. Music. What to do here?... Keep everything as FLAC? I looked at a project called mp3fs which dynamically represents itself as a directory of mp3s but it's all done on the fly as files are read. Limitation is that it has to be constant bitrate. Not sure if this is possible to do on unRAID from within Docker since it's the host that would want to be running FUSE. In any case, how should I keep my music when I start ripping CDs?

Not sure... I think the sweet spot for me would be the 1700 or 1700x, I would benefit from 16 threads while transcoding blurays. Not sure I need to pay the premium for the top of the line 1800x. I would have a hard time spending $200 on a mobo if a $100 one would due fine. At this age, I don't really care to tweak every tiny setting. Just want to put it together and have it be stable and work. If I make this my main gaming rig I'd get a 1070 or so. Right now I have an Alienware 13 with a 1060 but I'm not sure if I'm going to exchange it (touchscreen broken) or get a refund. Are you doing a VM with GPU passthrough? What card do you have? Are you doing the trick where you don't need a secondary card?

I'm new to KVM but have used VMWare and VirtualBox in the past with snapshots. I'm curious if using this solution here is as space efficient as snapshots in VMWare or VirtualBox

Yeah, I haven't had a lot of time to play around with it. I had it somewhat working but could never get it to load on my Apple TV. So last night I decided to start over from scratch and wanted to know which one I should use.

When I search for Plex under apps I get 19 hits... half of which seem to be Plex Media Server. Ones from linuxserver, plexinc, and limetech seem to have a lot of downloads. For someone new to this it is very unclear what the differences are between them.

So my trial was almost over and I decided to buy a license. I currently have a pretty old system with a 6 core AMD CPU, 16G RAM, GTX 650Ti, a 128G ssd. I just put 3x 8TB hard drives in it. I got a Docker up and running that runs an Ubuntu desktop where I can run MakeMKV and Handbrake (I pass-through my BluRay drive to the Docker) to rip BluRays. In transcoding the BluRay rips with Handbrake I found myself thinking I'd enjoy a modern system, perhaps an 8 core 16 thread Ryzen system. I also have been using it as my desktop machine using GPU passthrough to a Linux Mint Desktop where I do web/browsing, programming, photo editing, etc. Now I'm wondering if I were to build a new system can I just transfer the cache ssd and 3x 8TB drives to the new system and it'll work? I think Ryzen would be a good fit for me on my unRAID but want some of your thoughts too. I'm thinking Ryzen would be good if I plan on doing trancoding, and running a Linux VM as my desktop where I may be doing some CPU intensive things. At the same time, I might as well buy a decent graphics card and get a Win10 VM to do some gaming. I'm thinking I would just have a single GPU and only run either my Mint VM or Win10 gaming VM at a time. The cool thing about unRAID is that while I'd switch from Mint to Win10 the server stays up the entire time

For that one mobo inparticular or for all of them? That one was one of the more expensive ones. What downsides are there to using acs override? Thanks for the info.

It seems the issues with Ryzen are that the IOMMU groupings are not that nice. What determines these groupings?... CPU, Motherboard, Motherboard Chipset, BIOS, combiation of any of those? I'm wondering if this is something that can be "fixed" with a newer bios. Like @Pauven mentioned about @Donach's post here: (https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/55150-anybody-planning-a-ryzen-build/?page=13#comment-553895) ... if it's a function of the chipset would any motherboard with the same chipset as that one be good for unRAID?

Following that guide worked for me... I had to switch to use seabios though

uncool-diagnostics-20170416-2304.zip

So... why do I get this error? Any ideas? It doesn't seem to like having 1 or 2 enabled, so I can have 0, 3, 4, and 5 to have 4 cores.

Sorry, been away on vacation. I switched to seabios and it seemed to work. I installed Linux Mint and have both monitors working now. Of course now it's easter I need to leave the house for the day, no time to play with it. I did it with both the graphics and HDMI audio since I heard you have to have everything within the IOMMU group mapped in. I'd like to try to use my onboard audio since my monitors don't have a line-out for the HDMI. Will this stop working if I don't have the HDMI audio mapped in?... Is it possible to have both onboard and HDMI mapped into the VM? The configuration page is a drop-down list so I can only select one, but maybe by editing the XML itself?

This seemed to work in that I can now launch the VM. It took over the console that was displayed and I even saw my Linux Mint startup splash screen. After that I got some X errors and was unable to do anything graphically, it didn't fall back to a terminal either. I figured maybe when I installed the VM under VNC it didn't know about the graphics card, so I have tried to set up a new VM with the graphics card there the whole time. Now again (after a reboot) it takes over the unRAID terminal but instead I see nothing. I log in from another machine via ssh and I see some qemu process taking 100% cpu. Nothing happens, I have waited a while. Maybe I should try Ubuntu instead of Mint since it's more mainstream? Maybe I should install the OS first under VNC then switch? What should I do?
