You mean under qnap, certain larger drives aren't recognized, while booting into Unraid, it 'sees' the large Drive?

I am very interested with this topic, though I don't own a Qnap. I am wondering why you need to breath new life to old Qnap with Unraid. I am looking to buy a Qnap. What are the reasons? If to use Docker, can you not run docker on a separate box, Intel NUC or Lenovo Tiny, and have it save data on the Qnap raid? I assume the Raid still performs as day 1 you bought the device? So that wouldn't be the reason.

@tjb_altf4unfortunately, they are both being used at the same time often. It's really a nas for the whole family Someone's gaming, I'm streaming to Android Box, without issue, and another is streaming to iPad, where there are issues with 4K downloaded content.

Thanks. From what I've read, able to play Hevc content doesn't mean it can transcode as server well. I read this from Emby forums. They suggest using an old Samsung cell S7, S8, because of Mediacodec. Though read posts that it finally became very frustrating for the tester, and ended up giving up :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@SirReal63I'll check this out. But to be honest, I'm looking at the SBC route. This takes load off my nas, and is relatively inexpensive, and should consume lower power. Though not sure how snappy @Lolight's suggestion is.

Have you tested this? What OS? Emby server for Arm? Or what? Is it responsive? I prefer this route, as SBC is relatively inexpensive, takes the load off my nas.

My current build is Xeon E5-1650 v3, on Supermicro X10SRM-TF. It's somewhat perfect. I have a 1050Ti passed through for use on gaming vm. With GPUs so expensive, I don't want to buy a video card right now. I toyed with the idea of having Emby server on a single board computer. Having Emby server on SBC accessing shows on my NAS. But I don't know which SBC is capable of having hardware transcode enabled. Can anyone suggest?

My VM, when applying Phison passthrough, stays stuck in "Updating".

My purpose is to passthrough my NVME SSD. I believe I should be binding the Phison controller (says NVME). After binding it, restarting... When I go to the VM, I can see the controller in Other PCI devices, with an unchecked box (what should I do here). I don't know how to point my Primary vDisk to the said SSD when it's no longer presented on the choices.

Before binding Phison controller (NVME SSD) to VFIO, I first unmounted my NVME SSD from Unassigned devices. After binding, and reboot, Unassigned devices doesn't "see" NVME SSD. Neither does making my Primary vDisk location /dev/nvme0n1 work, as it doesn't "see" /dev/... Any advise?

@domrockt, Sorry missed your reply earlier. Not yet familiar how stubbing goes. I see the following on my system devices page- Do I just tick on IOMMU group 43, and click on "BIND SELECTED TO VFIO AT BOOT?" Will this achieve my goal to pass through NVME to VM directly? Anything I should be checking in syslinux.cfg? What exactly does stubbing do? EDIT: After doing above, I can now see in my VM page: shall I tick this? Furthermore, changing Primary Vdisk location to /dev/nvme0n1/vdisk1.img and saving leaves it in updating, but nothing is being saved. Lastly, the nvme disk is no longer in my unassigned disks, and it says it's missing.

Or is there an easier way? I am referring to this video made 2017- Thanks

Thanks @UhClem. I didn't know there was a bottleneck with the existing onboard controller. The whole time preclearing, it was 100% Extra question, I can buy another unit at super cheap price, it's the N36L model. I've read in other threads/ forums that all you need to do is to power the drives (can be done by exiting microserver), connect it to a controller (I plan to get a 4i4e controller, plug drives to controller instead of motherboard directly), and use the external port at the back of the 4i4e controller, plug a cable from 2nd unit to the back of main N40L microserver. This will work even without Unraid license on 2nd microserver? No OS on 2nd microserver? Even if it POST or doesn't? It will basically serve as a cage for me, to provide power and easy removal of hdds. If this makes sense, my follow-up question is how will you power both units up? What will be the sequence? Power on 2nd unit first, then Power on main N40L unit? Will the 4i4e controller (external) provide bottleneck while transfering data to main unit? I am considering something with 9217-4i4e chipset.

I have the same idea @UhClem. But while doing preclearing on 2 8 TB drives, I noticed my cpu reached 100%, and stayed there the whole time it was preclearing. Will an LSI card offload cpu utilization when all drives are connected to it?

Thanks also Hoopster! I had a backup solution if what I tried really didn't pan out . Go to the physical server, and do what the post suggested

You're right! I was challenged by the instructions by Hoopster, as I don't have physical access to the unit. This morning, I downloaded the official app once again, and this time, the field there that talks about claiming something makes more sense. True enough, after putting in the token, it worked! Thank you saarg.

Thank you! that gives me a new problem though. The server is remote, and I don't have access to it now. But thanks for the instructions. I will find a way to fix this.

I am connecting from outside the network. I manage this unraid server. I connected via OpenVpn. Also tried accessing the server via it's public IP:32400, with same result. I don't know where to click to do the claim. I can't find it. The server don't show any Claim notifications. I just run the docker app via gui, not familiar with docker run command.

There's no way to add my Media share.

Hi. Trying this container out. Why doesn't it see media on my Unraid Share? It seems media server not installed. Tried signing out and in, still the same. This is also the case for my installation of official Plex container.

Hi. Can we use Microsoft's RDP to connect to this container? Mine produces an error.

Thanks @zakna, that did the trick!

Mine doesn't come with one. I thought I might have deleted it sometime ago. I reinstalled the docker container from scratch. Deleting the previous folder as well, to make sure everything new is put in place. Still, there's no boot.cfg on the newly installed container.

Hi. Trying to follow the steps you laid out here. Currently, under my Menu, there's no boot.cfg file. Did you create a new one called boot.cfg and updated the variables you mentioned above?

Yes. But my search results didn't show me how to reset the password via GUI. Saw this, but don't know how to use it. ***Update*** Solved this by connecting to console. I found the config folder, and config.xml file. I looked for something like this: <gui enabled="true" tls="false" debugging="false"> <address>127.0.0.1:8384</address> <user>syncguy</user> <password>$2a$10$s9wWHOQe...Cq7GPye69</password> <apikey>9RCKohqCAyrj5RjpyZdR2wXmQ9PyQFeN</apikey> <theme>default</theme> </gui> Though I remembered the password after looking at the username.
