I used defaults. Network Type: Host Privileged: checked Bind Type: checked

192.168.1.2 is a IP of my unRaid box The other computer is HTPC and it's address is 192.168.1.4 and port forwarding works, because I can see recorded library outside of my LAN. I'm using Actiontec MI424WR revision 1 from Verizon FIOS This below comes from Port forwarding setting section from my router and this port 18677 must be router's internal redirect Computer: 192.168.1.2:32400 (tower) Applications: Plex Media Server TCP Any -> 18677 I do not have any problem accessing Plex WebUI in my browser over LAN with address 192.168.1.2:32400/web/index.html# from unRaid box unRaid: 6.0-beta12

Previously Plex had no problem to publish libraries and I was able to stream content outside of my LAN. But recently docker.img got corrupted and I had to start everything from scratch an reinstall Plex container (my-PlexMediaServer). /config is located on /mnt/user/plexmediaserver so container is using previous libraries. I am logon to my plex account and under Settings/Server/Connect I entered my credentials and there is message "signed in as" . However, I do get an error message that there was en error connecting to Plex and when I manually specify port 32400 I am still not able to connect. I have plex server installed on other PC and there is message "server is mapped to port". I checked my router's firewall settings (set to medium) and under port forwarding I have following info: Computer: 192.168.1.2:32400 (tower) Applications: Plex Media Server TCP Any -> 18677 I lowered firewall settings to Minimum (low) and still I was not able to publish libraries. Any idea how to fix it? Please help

I forgot to mention that this CPU does not support vt-d. I think this motherboard would be great for HTPC, assuming that you can get video card. On board video is not suitable for such a build. TV tuner would have to be external. With such a low TDP computer could run 24/7. In fact this motherboard is designed to be used in appliances. My current HPTC has quad-core AMD CPU with 45TDP. Cooling is passive and there is 1 chassis fan running at lower speed. This way HTPC is completely silent and in last 3 years I did not encounter any issues related to overheating. One more thing. This motherboard has 24-pin power connection. PSU that came with Fractal Design chassis is smaller and connector is either 16 or 18 pin (I'm not sure). So, I was little bit afraid that I will have to replace PSU, but with trial end error I was able power up motherboard by connecting power cord to the left side of connector leaving some pins empty. To my surprise everything works.

Couple weeks ago I did a rebuild of my unRaid system. I've been running Intel Atom D510 based motherboard for last 5 years and I wanted to upgrade it to something more powerful. My objective was to keep my server quiet and cool. I was not interested in getting i3 or i5 board. I have Fractal Design R2 mini chassis, so motherboard has to be mini-ITX. Also I wanted it to be Supermicro brand as they are specialize in this type of hardware. Some time ago I checked what was available on the market and moved forward, but this time this little gem popped up http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182855 I did some research regarding this chip. There is very little information available. It's in the Atom family, but calling this Atom should be illegal! Just like Avaton, Rangeley (C2758) has 8 cores and very low TDP (20) which allows for passive cooling. Heat inside the case actually dropped by 1-2 degrees. CPU runs at 2.4 GHz Here is a list of intel’s Atom processors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Atom_microprocessors The difference between this chip and Avaton is that it has some additional set of instructions (security) and Avaton eventually will be discontinued. Performance: This chip is powerful. I'm running unRaid 6.0-beta12 + 12 dockers, including mysql and plex servers. System is fast and responsive. Loading media through XBMC takes only couple seconds (spin up). No problem watching movies on TV, PC and tablet at the same time over LAN. No buffering issues at all. The same applies to Plex. Server is capable to encode video file at 2x speed. That means that 60 minutes video will be encoded in 30 minutes. I tested it with WTV files recorded by Ceton tuners and other HD mkv files. Plex Sync converted them to mp4 format. To give an idea, atom D510 takes 10 minutes to convert 60 minutes of wma audio file to mp3. I did a test to see how it performs when other tasks are run? During unpacking and running PAR files (nzb) plex encoding was jumping between 1x and 2x. But when system is not performing any other activities, encoding remains constant 2x. Streaming outside of LAN over local Starbucks wi-fi was not an issue. My upload speed is 5 Mbps. It took about 3-5 seconds for a video to start to play. Fast forward is responsive and movie plays within 1-2 seconds. I noticed that adjusting Plex streaming quality (inside app) to a movie resolution gives the best results. I tested playback for both 720p and 1080p mkv’s DTS audio tracks and I did not encountered any playback issues. CPU utilization during video encoding and unpacking + repairing downloaded files jumps between 50%-70% Please let me know if you have any question.

I can't get this thing to start. Repository: kylemanna/openvpn:latest Docker Hub URL: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/kylemanna/openvpn/ WebUI: http://192.168.1.2:1194 Paths: /etc/openvpn --> /mnt/cache/appdata/openvpn Port: 1194 --> 1194 I think problem is with path. Please help

I am running unRaid 6.0-beta12 I tried to find answer to this question but it's still bit confusing. I have a Plus key and 6 drives (including parity) + 1 cache drive. I understand that I max out what is available in Plus license. Now, I added one more SSD drive to create drive pool, but it shows in WebUI as unassigned device and in cache tab, existing cache SSD (1) drive is assigned to slot 1 and there are no other options available for new SSD (2). If I upgrade to Pro key, will I be able to create cache drive pool? On purchase page Pro version shows "Assign 1 cache drive". Thanks

I am having problem running this docker. I pulled image directly form repository (not using command line). XBMC --> XBMC 13,2 Gotham MySQL --> MariaDB (after installing this docker I pointed data to previous mysql setup [mysql-5.5.30-i486-1gds.txz], XBMC has no problem accessing tables. By default Gotham is setup to create it's own video database "MyVideos78", but in my setup it's called "xbmc_videos78". Since it's working I did not see any reason to change it. I checked version with MySQL Workbench and it says : 5.5.37 MariaDB-0ubuntu0 14.04.1 So my original advancedsettings.xml file has following data: <videodatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>192.168.1.2</host> <port>3306</port> <user>xbmc</user> <pass>xbmc</pass> <name>xbmc_video78</name> </videodatabase> <musicdatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>192.168.1.2</host> <port>3306</port> <user>xbmc</user> <pass>xbmc</pass> <name>xbmc_music46</name> </musicdatabase> Now, I installed sparklyballs' docker from repository with following information /root/.xbmc --> /mnt/cache/appdata/xbmc 8089 --> 8089 MYSQLip --> 192.168.1.2 MYSQLport --> 3306 MYSQLuser -- > xbmc MYSQLpass -- > xbmc WebUI is loading properly on http://192.168.1.2:8089/ and I can see menu in the top right corner: Profiles, Remote, Movies, TV Shows, Music. But pressing Movies or TV Shows buttons does nothing. So my guess is that headless xbmc server is not connecting to mysql database. I followed instructions regarding advancedsettings.xml that is installed with an image and it looks like this: <videodatabase> <type>mysql</type> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> <host>192.168.1.2</host> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> <port>3306</port> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> <user>xbmc</user> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> <pass>xbmc</pass> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> </videodatabase> <musicdatabase> <type>mysql</type> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> <host>192.168.1.2</host> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> <port>3306</port> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> <user>xbmc</user> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> <pass>xbmc</pass> <!-- EDIT THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL SETUP --> </musicdatabase> As you can see it's missing both: <name>xbmc_video78</name> <name>xbmc_music46</name> I edited advancedsettings.xml and added these two lines, but that did nothing and both sections in WebUI Movies and TV Shows are empty. I also copied sources.xml from original setup and again nothing happened. I tried changing user and permissions for xbmc folder in appdata and that did not work either To tell the truth I do not know what else I can do to make this work? Maybe, I am doing something incorrectly. Please help EDIT: I finally got is to work The problem were these two lines: <name>xbmc_video78</name> <name>xbmc_music46</name> All I had to do is to remove 78 & 46 and add these modified lines <name>xbmc_video</name> <name>xbmc_music</name> server adds numbers 78 & 46 in the background (log file)

Bingo! Instead of localhost I entered IP and everything works Thank you

Hi, I'm trying to setup CP and NzbDrone to run with Sabnzbd. I entered the correct API key (not nzb key) from Sabnzbd, but connection cannot be established. I tried both: localhost:8080 and localhost:8081 (I have unMenu running on port 8080), reinstalled CP container, tested on NzbDrone. Port 8081 is the one Sabnzbd is loaded in web browser. Appdata folder is on cache drive CP log: 01-03 13:47:51ERROR[.core.downloaders.sabnzbd] Failed sending release, use API key, NOT the NZB key: Traceback (most recent call last): ProtocolError: ('Connection aborted.', error(97, 'Address family not supported by protocol')) I run a script to change permissions for appdata folder and that did not fix the problem. Any suggestions? Please help.

I tried both Firefox and IE, but clearing cache was not enough, I had to clear all history too. I have 10 other dockers installed and BTSync was the only that did not load. Now everything works. You learn something new everyday Thank you

Hi, I have gfjardim BTSync docker installed with default ports 5555 and 8888, but for some reason webUI will not load. Instead there is an error message "invalid request". On unRaid 5 I had BTSync plugin installed and I believe it was using only one port 50001 I'm using unRaid 6.0 beta12 How to fix this problem? Thanks

I'm having a problem installing spotweb. I'm not sure how to fix it. I have SF installed and web server is running. Please help I realize that there is something wrong with PHP extensions, but I have SimpleFeatures 1.0.11, CP, Sickbeard and Sabnzbd running perfectly, so why should I have a problem with PHP?

Joe L. Thank you. This worked. I have a script that closes all services, somehow I missed "cache_dirs". Now everything unmounts correctly and Array can be stopped. Just for everybody else. Add this line in your script /etc/rc.d/rc.cachedirs stop

This is little bit confusing. I was not being able to find answers to this problem. I am running 5.0-rc15a. I decided to upgrade MySQL server to version 5.5. It seems like a problem may be related to MySQL, but it may not be a case. MySQL data folder by default is set to /mnt/user/mysql. Before unmounting array, I stop rc.mysql (/etc/rc.d/rc.mysql stop). So, now when I press stop Array, shares should be unmounted, but instead the whole process hangs. I checked for offending PID service /usr/bin/fuser -mv /mnt/disk* /mnt/user/* And following info came up PID ACCESS COMMAND /mnt/disk4 24377 . . C . . FIND This does not tell me too much about what service causes a problem But here is interesting part. I deleted MySQL plugin + mysql folder and rebooted machine. Tried to stop Array and again process hangs. I checked for PID and again /mnt/disk4 information came out One more thing. When MySQL is installed I get message "ERROR MySQL server PID file could not be found" As I said before I am not sure if this is unRaid or MySQL issue

Good point. Thanks

I wonder is it possible to backup parity drive with CrashPlan? This would solve the issue of multiple drive failures.

What I meant is, that somebody who is planning to build his/hers first server box, wants to treat this box as a backup for all home files. This a primary purpose of this activity. Now, if you telling me that yes can get WHS and backup your files, but this files are not save because you need another box to protect it, so what is a point of having WHS at the first place. unRaid is not perfect, but it's redundancy is sufficient for what it's needed.

Before I jumped on unRaid wagon, I did some extensive research, regarding types of RAID's, ZFS etc. One thing that did not make any sense to me about WHS is the fact that many WHS users have Drobo's to backup their files. So, you have another box to backup your server. Where is a logic in this? What kind a messed up redundancy is this? Now, this Flexraid runs on top of such a system as what? A plugin? Frankly, FreeNas with ZFS as a standalone OS makes more sense. Now, this will be a word of advice from one developer to another. Your business model is flawed. You basing your product on a software that is almost obsolete. In fact, in order to use your product, consumer must purchase WHS first. This is additional cost to a consumer. Now, have some little respect for other people and their work as a human being.

Definitely, that is rule of thumb. Number of cores are more important then cpu clock. Each core is a "separate" cpu. So it's like having 4 cpu's working on different parts of the video at the same time. I do not know too much about Plex internal affairs. Maybe you should ask this question at their forum. For testing I did setup Plex on my unRaid machine running intel atom d525 with 2gb ram and I had no problem streaming mkv's to desktop client. Streaming to iPad was a little bit chalenging, but once I lowered streaming quality within app settings, everything went smoothly. From listening to the BYOB podcast I remember that Plex was designed originally to work only on iOS. It was in fact optimized for mp4 container and since mkv are similar (h264+aac), then there is really no transcoding but simple container swap on the fly. Other formats are different story, and I believe they are working on improving that transcoding engine. Now, imagine that your transcoding on the fly and streaming that video. Your CPU will have to keep up with streaming and pump those junks of bits to your network. When will you know that cpu is too slow? That is simple. You will see video freezing and buffering on your device. Glad to help

She is a winner of unRaid Awards!

This is a little bit tricky. Certain computer activities, like transcoding video are dependent on cpu and number of cores, but accessing file on server without hiccup over LAN is more related to type of wiring, gigabit switch, network card, router etc. So when everything is top notch in that department, but server cpu is kind a weak (intel atom), you can still serve video to couple clients without problems (search for I/O topic) Other video activities, like conversion, commercial skipping search etc require more powerful cpu's, at least 2ghz with more cores. It's actually better to have lower cpu with 4 cores then higher one with 3 cores. After you cross that minimum cpu recommendation of 2ghz, you will notice that getting very powerful cpu is simply not necessary. Unless you plan to do do some heavy video conversions. This rule served me well when I built my HTPC. Many people will also say that their htpc running on lower end cpu's are just fine for what they do. Server is similar in that sense. Now, Plex transcode video on the fly, sometimes they just change container without touching video. As you probably know you can adjust streaming quality within plex client on your mobile device. To tell the truth I do not know if they transcode all videos by default. My guess is, they do not. It all depends on what type of hardware is running plex client. There is interesting discussion about Plex on BYOB podcast with one of it's creators http://homeservershow.com/category/byob

I would not make any adjustments to default settings at this point, RAM and swap partition should be your priority

I experienced similar issues with memory (at some point SMB stopped working). Joe L. is right, this is most likely related to your RAM memory and swap file. Search forum for creating swap partition on cache drive. If you don't have one, then should definitely buy it (SSD recommended). in addition increase your RAM memory. You should, probably invest in some quality mobo (Supermicro, they have on board usb port and 6 sata ports), in hardware section of forum you will find recommendations for add-on cards to increase you SATA ports

Sorry for a delay. I think I finally found a reason why this was happening. My script was missing "exit" at the end. So it should be: #! /bin/bash /usr/bin/mysqldump -u root -ppassword --all-databases > /mnt/user/Backup/MySQL/dumps/mysql_backup__`date +%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S`.sql exit Once I added it at the end, the job executes only once. Attachement shows my crontab I modfied script that adds new lines to crontab: #! /bin/bash crontab -l >/tmp/crontab echo "# backup mysql at 11:30 AM" >>/tmp/crontab echo "30 11 * * * /boot/custom/mysql_dump.sh 1> /dev/null" >>/tmp/crontab echo "# tar mysql at 11:45 AM" >>/tmp/crontab echo "45 11 * * * /boot/custom/mysql_tar.sh 1> /dev/null" >>/tmp/crontab crontab /tmp/crontab exit Next I added a new line to "go" script to add new lines to crontab at boot up: # add crontab jobs /boot/custom/crontab_newline.sh But when I checked crontab -l , additions were not there. Not sure what happened? Running script from telnet works, and as you can see new lines are there.
