So I ran into an issue this morning. I have 2 lineups. 1 in the US and 1 in Canada. It would appear that the CA one has been updating but the US one has not. Since most of my channels are US based I woke up to plex only showing 2 channels in my guide, the 2 Canadian channels I have. I am currently manually running ; docker exec -it xteve_guide2go ./config/cronjob.sh and im watching my US lineup cache grow, so I assume its pulling down new data now, but why didn't it do it automatically? what should I check, that seems odd.

how can i increase the number of days of data? it seems to default to 7

Ahh, ok. I didnt know that.

Ah ok, I got it now. There is just a few missing details for someone who doesn't know how Schedules Direct works, or how Guide2Go works. Let me see if I can help a little bit for new users who don't know some of this stuff. My guide will use the defaults or suggestions for as much as possible. it not meant to be thorough, its meant to get you going. 1. Install the docker with all the default and suggested mappings. Container Path: /root/.xteve <> /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/ Container Path: /config <> /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/_config/ Container Path: /guide2go <> /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/_guide2go/ Container Path: /tmp/xteve <> /tmp/xteve/ Container Path: /TVH <> /mnt/user/appdata/tvheadend/data/ << not needed if no TVHeadend is used the only change I made was I renamed my “xteve” folder to “xteveG2G”. I only did this because I had a current installation of Xteve that I didn’t want to interfere with. 2. Go to “/mnt/user/appdata/xteve/_config/” and open “cronjob.sh” with a text editor. (Im using Atom) 1. Put a “yes” next to the API options you need and “no” by the ones you don’t. 2. Edit the JsonList with the channel lineups you want to have. Doesn’t have to be specific, just remember what it is. I literally made mine “1.json” and that’s it. 3. Put in your Xteve IP and Port Number 4. Setup either Emby or Plex, instructions are in the file, or you can google it. I don’t use Emby, but plex wasn’t too hard to figure out. 5. I don’t use TVHeadend with this so im not sure what needs to be done if you do. 6. Save the file and close it. 7. In the same folder you can leave the 2 “sample” files alone unless you want to change those settings from the default. 3. Now start the docker and open a terminal in unraid, I used the built in unraid web terminal which can be accessed from the top bar to the left of the power button. 1. Issue the following command; docker exec -it xteve_guide2go guide2go -configure /guide2go/1.json Notice the json file is the same as you put in the cronjob.sh file you edited earlier. 2. Follow the setup prompts, the setup process is very self explanatory. As for the lineup to pick that’s upto you. I personally chose the Dishnetwork option that had my locals too. 4. Once your done setting up here, then run the next command. docker exec -it xteve_guide2go ./config/cronjob.sh This will actually start pulling down the data, and it can get pretty big so give it some time. 5. Once the data has been downloaded now its time to set it up in Xteve. 1. in Xteve add a new XMLTV file with the local path of “/guide2go/1.xml”. Again notice it’s the same name as before but now its an XML file. So your lineup names will carry through. 6. That’s pretty much it, now you just need to go to each channel, set its XMLTV file and Channel and your done. 7. OPTIONAL FOR PLEX: I ran into an issue loading the xmltv file into Plex DVR using HTTP (which is how your supposed to do it). So I came up with a simple work around. Find the folder where “xteve.xml” is located, and map that folder into your Plex container. So far example: My Xteve.xml is in “/mnt/user/appdata/xteveG2G/data/” so I mapped that folder to “/epg” in my Plex container. Now when I went to setup my DVR I put the XMLTV path as “/epg/xteve.xml” instead of using the URL from xteve like usual. As far as setting up Xteve and Plex or Emby there are plenty of guides for that so I don’t need to get too specific. Sorry if I missed anything, I wrote this very quickly.

I really want to use the xteve_guide2go container but I'm completely lost. I current use plain xteve, so I understand how to use use xteve. Where Im lost is how do I setup the guide2go portion? I don't understand any of the readme. What json file? where does it come from? how does it get there? how do i make sure it stays up do date? how do I run those commands? how do I actually get the info from guide2go into xteve? It also may not help that I have never really used schedules direct before. I had it back a few years ago when i used nextpvr, and nextpvr just had a login field for schedules direct and it did the rest automatically. Would anyone mind explaining how to get this going in a more step by step way? I hate being "that guy" but I really just don't get this one, and it doesn't seem to be popular enough for Google to be helpful.

So I found an insane solution for those of us who want the nice slick Wireguard UI that Unraid provides, all while being able to access everything! Now im going to start by saying this is kind of stupid, and ill likely stop using this setup once the issue of not being able to access dockers and VMs gets fixed. So here it is...run a second unraid machine. Now to clarify, The Wireguard UI is plugin, which means it doesn't need the array running in order to work. So I took a little Intel based micro computer I had lying around, made an unraid USB and booted up. I skipped right past the license screen, didn't even sign up for a trial key, nothing. I just went straight to plugins page installed the CA App Store, and then installed Wireguard. From there I set it up like normal. You probably should go to users and set a password though. Now I can access everything on my LAN including all the Dockers and VMs on my main unraid tower. And it is running great so far. I feel a little wasteful using a core i5 to run a wireguard server, but hey, it wasn't doing anything else, and unraids wireguard implementation is worth it.

Sorry if this has been solved and I just didn't catch it. Almost every one of my docker containers has a custom IP address. Has there been any solution to connecting to docker containers with a custom IP yet? I disabled "Local server uses NAT:" and setup a static route in my router and it did absolutely nothing. I can access my unraids web UI just fine as well as other physical machines on my network. I just cant access most of my dockers.

Alright postgres is WORKING!!! awesome. However im still having issues with the config file now. I believe the issue is that the container is not generating the config file. I need to pass the following command to the container; ``` --generate-config -H domain.tld -c /data/homeserver.yaml ``` How do I do that? Just typing it into the console isn't working.

Just to clarify I don’t need help from the ground up. I already have Synapse running on my unraid box. In fact I’ve been using it for almost a week now. The problem is the couple of things I mentioned. I am quickly starting to see the issue with SQLite vs Postgres I have joined some pretty big rooms through federation and MY GOD it’s slow. And everyone over there has told me it’s due to me using SQLite and that I have to switch because it will only get worse over time. as for Synapse not seeing the config file...I mean that one sucks, but I could live with if I had to. But there are some additional options available through that file that I would really like to get working. Besides I have a feeling this one is probably simple and I’m just missing something.

They do, but mostly using ansible playbooks. And most people expect the Synapse server to be “the only” server on the network. They are using VPS providers mostly. Almost no one hosts at home like I am. So to them my setup is is very weird and people have trouble helping. Even though it is doable. That’s why I thought maybe you guys could help bridge the gap.

For those who don’t know Synapse is a federated messaging and voip platform. I am am trying to get a proper Synapse server running on my unraid box. I currently have one running but it’s not setup optimally at all. I am using This docker container. And if I leave it all default, it works but that’s far from optimal, as I’m starting to find out trying to join large rooms. There are 3 things I need to get it perfect. At least the first 2 are critical. 1. This container is setup to manage its setting through env variables OR a config file called homeserver.yaml I need to get it able to pickup my config file, and it’s not. I set “SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH” as a variable and then set it to a path in my appdata folder. The reason for this is using a config file you get many more options. 2. I need to get Synapse using Postgres instead of SQLite. So I installed Postgres 11 from CA. I set it up will all the default parameters from the Synapse docker so I didn’t have to do anything special...except the password of course. After getting postgres set up it dawned on me that I have no idea how to get the Synapse container talking to the Postgres container. 3. Preferably I need to setup COTURN as well, however I haven’t had any issues without it yet. So I’d rather focus on the first 2 issues for now. I have spent days talking with the Matrix Synapse community and unfortunately they just aren’t familiar with unraid, so are only able to offer so much.

alturismo, I think you may have just saved the day, and my entire weekend from having to reconfigure my entire server from scratch! thank you.

what do you mean by use tag 192? I ask because my TVH server over the last...idk, 3 days or so, has just been dying. What i mean by that is I start up the server, everything works fine and then at some point it just dies. It might last 2minutes, it might last 30min, but at some point it just becomes completely unresponsive and I have to restart the container.

How can I create a bridge from zeroTier to my LAN? I see people doing this allot, but not one single tutorial has worked for me. I would like to install this ZeroTier docker on my UnRaid box, and set it up as a bridge, so that I can connect to my zerotier network from my phone, or other computers and access my entire LAN. I know this is doable, I just cant figure out how to do it.

How can I access this without HTTPS? I am only running it on my local netowork, and im trying to integrate Collabora and im getting cert errors.
