  1. I gave up on it. I'm using plex kodi connect.... does the same thing, but you have to have a plex server.
  2. I am at a complete loss as to how to get Kodi-headless working... Here is what I have done so far: 1. install the docker 2. install mariadb and create user/pass 3. configure advancedsettings.xml on the headless server with IP/Port/user/pass on the docker 4. copy over sources.xml from kodi client to the kodi server 5. enter headless IP/Port/user/pass in kodi clent advancedsettings.xml 5. restart the docker..... Nothing happens.... what did i miss? how is everyone getting this to work?
  3. I am not able to get this working and dont know why. I thought I missed something and went through the entire setup 4 times. I missed nothing. I've been at this for days. Before I give up on it, can anyone help? FYI - I have Mojave in a VMWare Workstation VM (vmdk). This is what I used to perform all the steps in the guide. I read that a USB incompatability is the cause and usbinjectall.kext may be needed to fix this. I dont know what to do from here. in some cases the vm will start clover and select the install option, then it will reboot (this happens over and over) OR in other cases I can boot clover just fine... when I select the installation an apple logo shows a progress bar then I get this.
  4. I have the same problem. boots to clover, when I select the install option the vm reboots. this loops over and over. i thought I missed something so i went through the entire process 4 times. i missed nothing. before i give up on this, can anyone help?
  5. I figured it out. not sure how, but sleep was set to "30 min". I don't remember changing this in my VMs, but I will take the easy fix. This still does not explain the high cache usage.
  6. No replies yet? I did more digging and found old vdisks from VMs I no longer have still sitting in the "./domains" folder. I deleted these and freed up another 100gb. I tried looking at the log files but do not know what to look for. Can anyone help me with this?
  7. Hello all, My VMs keep pausing. This seems to be due to high disk usage, but I don't know what is causing it. - I stopped all tv show recordings to the cache - installed a dedicated SSD for plex transcoding - deleted all "cache only" shares - changed "min free space (cache)" to 2gb. - thought the docker image might be full so I expanded it to 150gb. I have 2 Kingsont 250gb SSDs in raid 0 (btrfs). My main page shows over 150gb free space, this could be wrong maybe? Not sure what else to do. Please see the attached logs. thank you maximus-diagnostics-20181029-0733.zip
  8. ** Update ** I have been able to get this working again. I'm not sure why Mellanox moved the "protocol". If you are using Mellanox Connex-x cards that support Infinity Band (IB) and cannot figure out how to change the virtual protocol from Ethernet to IB try the following. note: IB mode requires a subnet manager run otherwise IB will not work. Also Both ends (host/server/switch) must be configured this way. 1. Open the device manager 2. find your mellanox card and go to properties 3. select the "Protocol" tab and toggle between IB and Eth as desired. If you do not see the "Protocol" tab try the following: 1. in the device manager look for your mellanox NIC under "system devices" 2. open properties and select the "Protocol" tab 3. toggle between IB and Eth as needed.
  9. I made the mistake of re-imaging my windows 10 PC and found this impossible to get working again. The key to this working with mellanox VPI cards is your ability to toggle between "Infinity Band (aka IB)" and "Ethernet (aka eth)". I don't know what Mellanox did with the drivers but the "Port Protocol" tab in the device manager is gone. I found another driver for this in the device manger under "system devices" instead of "Network Adapters". This has the "Port Protocol" tab, but everything is greyed out. Mellanox no longer supports X-2 cards so getting help from them is out the window. This is so frustrating Do yourself a favor when you get this working.... Export your FUNCTIONAL Windows 10 drivers and save them in a place you can get to them later.
  10. I cant get this to work at all. it never scans my library. I add artist manually and try searching but it never gets a torrent. How did you get this to find a torrent??
  11. I rebooted the server and everything came back. All is well.
  12. my unraid server stopped responding so I rebooted. when it came back up all my plugins, dockers and VMs are missing. the tabs for these are not even present in the web UI. I went to "dockers" in the settings menu and noticed that it is turned off. I tried to enable it using the path "/mnt/user/appdata/" but it says this path does not exist. I am looking at the path as we speak. No changes where made everything was working fine. All shares and data are still present and if I look in the "appdata" folder the data for all my dockers is still present. Not having my VM's running breaks all of my automatons in a bad way. I don't know what to do (Linux is foreign to me). Can someone please explain why this happened

  14. I gave up on this particular docker and started using another Guacamole docker. All is well now.
  15. I am unable to make this work. so i installed the docker to port 8080 and I am able to access the web interface. the username: guacadmin and password: guacadmin give the error "invalid logon". the username: USERNAME and password: PASSWORD give a "connection error" I'm not having any luck getting this working. There seems to be no logs in the appdata folder for this docker. Can somebody please help me?
  16. Hello All, I had a USB drive mounted as a share (this is how I copied the data to unraid). Afterward, I opened the casing and removed the drive and added to my unraid server along with 2 other drives. I get the error: "You may not add new disk(s) and also remove existing disk(s)" All disks are accounted for with the exception of the USB drive that I removed. Its showing as a missing disk. I hit the "remove" button next to the missing disk but still cannot add any other disks. How can I work around this?
  17. Sorry if this is covered somewhere, but where does one start with this docker? I'm a noob to guac and have no clue how to configure it. I searched and there is almost no posts about setting this up and I don't know where else to look. everyone participating in this thread seems to have this setup, but where did they find that info? After installing the docker and loging on with the username: USERNAME and password:PASSWORD I get the following error. "CONNECTION ERROR The remote desktop server is currently unreachable. If the problem persists, please notify your system administrator, or check your system logs." what am I missing? what needs to setup?
  18. this worked, but now bruteforce detection is off... no biggie... i guess..
  19. This makes accessing the index page so slow and logging in takes even longer. How is nobody else suffering from this problem? The only way NextCloud runs normally is on my local network. Accessing it from outside effectively causes this problem. Why am I not seeing any other posts about this? How is everyone working about this? I am going to try disabling brutforce in the config.php file.
  20. seems to work fine with the HP/MELLANOX cards. I transfer files like a beast now. I'm looking at a managed switch as we speak!
  21. Hello, I want to completely delete Sonarr. I deleted the appdata folder because it is the only one I can find. when I re-install the docker it says "already exists" for just about everything. I want it completely gone. how can I do this?
  22. I at the time I had no reason to think the process would be different for a cache disk
  23. I figured it out You have to set the number of cache disks to "1". Simply removing the other disks until there is only 1 is not enough. AFTER you do this the option to change the drive to another format becomes available. The next time you start the array you will see the "format" button. Maybe this is made crystal clear somewhere, but I never found it. leaving this info for the next person
  24. I did a write up on this too because I found little to no info. I am happy that you posted this video. It would have helped me out a lot! Not to hi-jack your thread, but here is my info as well. I used fiber optic connections because I found the NICs to be cheaper. Copper works just as good. Equipment (all retired enterprise equipment from ebay): Cache Drives - 2x Kingston 240gb SSDs in raid 0 Unraid Nic - HP Dual Port 10Gb Ethernet PCIe Card for Proliant 468349-001 ($38.00) Client Nics - HP 10GB MELLANOX CONNECTX-2 PCIe 10GBe ETHERNET NIC 671798-001 ($12.00) Trancievers - 4x HPE BladeSystem 455883-B21 Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Transceiver ($20.00) Cables - LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex 2.0mm PVC(OFNR) OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cable ($6.00) FYI - for the next person looking to do this here is the process. If you are not able to completely saturate the 10gbe connection, it is likely because the hard drive at one of the ends is too slow. this is why my cache is 2x SSDs in raid 0. Another cause could be that the share you are using it not set to use the SSD cache. Windows 10: 1. install the 10gb NIC and give it a static IP address in a different subnet (if your other NIC's IP is 192.168.0.6 - change the value of the 3rd octet to any unused number 1-254, such as 192.168.66.6) 2. turn on network discovery (without this your computer will not respond to pings or any other kinds of remote requests). Simply open a windows explorer window and click the "network option". it will attempt to find computers and devices on your network, if network discovery has not been enabled you will be prompted to do so. 3. Your done for now, but you will need to force windows to use the 10gb NIC for connections to unraid (keep reading) Unraid: 1. install your 10gb NIC and make sure you can see it in the "system info". Make note of the "eth#" shown 2. go to "settings > network settings" and scroll down to the "eth#" from the previous step. If it is in a "bond group", the array must be stopped and the "eth#" removed. 3. assign the "eth#" a static IP address. this address must be in the same subnet/netmask as your windows PC (in other words, 192.168.66.* - see windows sample from above). 4. hit apply 5. use Putty or something similar to connect to your unraid server. Ping the windows PC's 10gb NIC using it's address (our sample is 192.168.66.6). Because you have multiiple NIC's you must specify what NIC to use for ping. ping -I eth# 192.168.66.6 (the -i switch allows you to ping using a spcific NIC. replace the # with your NIC id). if the windows 10 computer responds all is well. Go back to windows to complete the configuration. if the windows 10 computer does not respond, you missed one of the above steps or have some other issue. Back to Win 10 Again (rhymes right?) There are 2 ways to force windows to use the 10gb connection. For the purposes of documentation (keeping all info in 1 place) I have both listed, but in no way would I ever recommend using method 2. Method 1: add unraid server to your "host" file go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" and open the "hosts" file with notepad scroll all the way to the bottom and on a blank line enter the unraid servers 10gb NIC address followed by a space then an alias (I like to use the Hostname) 192.168.66.6 Hostname now save the file and attempt to ping "Hostname". You should find that "Hostname" now resolves to the IP address you have specified in the "host" file. If you ever have need to access the unraid server from this PC but do NOT want to use the 10gb NIC you can simply enter another line in your "host" file. 192.168.66.6 Hostname-10g 192.168.0.6 Hostname line 1: will resolve the alias "Hostname-10g" to the servers 10gb NIC address line 2: will resolve the alias "Hostname" to the servers 1gb NIC address Method 2: NOT RECOMMENDED Windows 10 now has more than 1 NIC that can connect to the unraid server. How will it know what one to use? You would normally go in and change the NIC priority, but this is no good in windows 10. Change the settings all you want and they will just revert back. You are expected to manually change the "metric" (although it's not well documented). go to the "network connections" in the control panel and select the properties of the 10gb connection. now select the IPv4 option in the "networking" tab, then select the "advanced" button in the new window. You should now see the "advanced TCP/IP settings" window. At the bottom of this window uncheck the "automatic metric" button and set a value. keep in mind that lower numbers have a lower priority. I manually set a value of "10" for the 10gb NIC and "20" for my wireless NIC so the priority for one is higher than the other. This method uses one connection as a "failover" for the other. It will always try the 10gb connection first and use the other if 10gb fails. The problem with this is that it uses 10gb for everything and does so at the expense of giving your other NIC a lower priority. Sending BIG files to/from Unraid? Configure Jumbo packets (OPTIONAL): It's basically what it sounds like. You can configure the connection to send larger packets of data at a time. This is more of a feature for those using the 10gb connection exclusively to transfer large files. for this to work jumbo packets must be configured the same on both ends (unraid and windows). If using a 10gb switch, the port(s) used to make this connection must be configured to use jumbo packets as well. Windows 10 Go back to your windows computer and in the 10gb NICs driver properties you should find an option to configure jumbo packets. Simply set the MTU to 9000 and apply your changes. Unraid Go to "Settings > Network settings". Scroll down to your 10gb's "eth#" and change the MTU to 9000 and hit apply. Now Go to "Settings > Global Share Settings -> Tunable" (enable direct IO): set to Yes
