After reading it deeper I frealised it's not waht I'm thinking of. I thought of 1 docker container that has nzbdrone, sickrage, couch potato, transmission, flexget and headphones all together. So instead of needed 6 containers, I just use 1. They all pretty much work together to produce a desired result. I'm assuming as single container would mean less HD requirement and less memory requirement. But maybe I don't understand the unerlying advantages of Docker and it makes no sense.

I like the idea of a "PirateShip" docker like this one: https://github.com/GeoffreyPlitt/docker-pirateship Having moved to sickrage and nzbdrone, this particular pirateship doesn't do it for me. But the idea is very cool I reckon

hmm, not for those of us who run headless. Prefer it to be a menu option.

yes, I use that combo as well. gfjardim did stick a flexget container on guthub that used the small footprint bvase insterad or arch, but I havent had the time to work out how to checkout of guthub and create a container out of it.

Is there any chance of implementing group level permissioning on shares ? In my use case, I'd like all 4 XBMC clients to have their own login name but ideally members of a group that has the permissions. Then a goup for kids, maybe one for guests or visitors. I like my unRAID server to be locked down pretty hard so access has to be granted as opposed to revoked. Groupe would make it so much easier. (if it makes a difference, i predominantly use SMB)

This is available as a plugin. Not sure I see any benefit for this to be a docker container.

I don't know what's out there in Linux land but I'd love a setup,that can act as a home DNS/dhcp with an day to use front end GUI. Though thinking about it, the might have to reside in the unRAID core instance and not a docker container. Ignore me.

I disagree. I'll look back but it was discussed in this thread and few like the idea. It's really the best of both worlds. Store the directory in cache so I can head down to where I need to see if new files have arrived, then play them if they are there. This feature allows hit to click play on my little xios box without a delaying or timing out waiting for the disks to spin up. John himself provided the hack but re:hacking after every new cache_dirs script is released.

Is there a chance to have an option that spins up disks when the directory is accessed ? i.e. I have a couple of directories which when I go there to view a directory listing, 4 times out of 5 I want to open a file. If this could be setup so that when certain cached directories are read, they spin the drive up, that would be the best of both worlds. Instant directory listing of a spun down drive but by the time I need to open the file, the drive is sup up waiting. We've discussed this earlier in the thread and there was a hack for it, but I was wondering if it could be a supported feature ?

It's here: https://github.com/gfjardim/docker-transmission If there's interest, I'll convert it to phusion and add to the plugin. Thanks nacat78 for your xml. Thanks. Installed and working. Seeing it's nearly there I think it won't hurt to add it to your list of templates I had a look at a couple of the flexget containers that are out there. Neither fill me with confidence.

It's here: https://github.com/gfjardim/docker-transmission If there's interest, I'll convert it to phusion and add to the plugin. Thanks nacat78 for your xml. Definite need for transmission. It's the torrent tool of choice for many though deluge is becoming popular. Flexget too

I didn't realise gfjardim had a transmission image. It's not on the drop down

Has anyone tried any of these Docker containers ? Transmission Flexget

Not a bad idea. For the most part a torrent client is a torrent client. If it's universally accepted by private trackers and handles RSS announcement then I can't think there is to much more needed.

*forking hell*

Don't hold your breath waiting for a ready-made package to do everything you want out of the box. It's relatively easy to use the ArchVM image produced by Ironicbadger, and add all the applications you could want. Pacman is very easy to use, and much simpler than having to create plugins for unRAID. I currently have LogitechMediaServer, minidlna, MySQL (MariaDB) and deluge running. I did build 64-bit unRAID plugins for mpop and Dovecot, to keep my email going, but I will soon move those over to VM. The only problem I currently have is getting minidlna and CouchPotato to co-exist on the same machine - if I cannot resolve that, I will simply create a separate VM. Not sure anyone said I was holding my breath. The current state is why I am now asking if what was on the roadmap is no longer the case. If I find a vm with what I want I can move earlier. If I can't I'll need to wait until I have the time to play around on my one live system. Being live, it will have to be when the wife and kids are out of the house for a week or two so I have time to play, experiment, recover, start again until I decide to make the move or revert back to where I am. All I am asking for is more information so I can make a more informed decision about moving to anothe beta reklease or staying on the stable released one.

the world changes, things move on. I have no specific knowledge either way I am only interested here in v6 webgui here. Sure, which is part of life as a unRAID user. All we need to know is if what was planned is going to happen or not. If it's no longer on the cards, let us know so we can make a more informed decision on when to move to 6.

They weren't sold as 6.0 webgui features. They were promised as part of 5.0 before 6.0 saw the light of day.

does that mean that 5.0.5 will not get to benifit from webGUI enhancements from here on? And will 5.0.6 fix this? Let me ask a question I am curious about. Is your system not capable of running 64bit? Let me answer from my point of view. My system is capable of 64bit but there so far aren't the plugins available on 6.0 that is use on 5.x. I also haven't found a prepackaged VM that includes all the plugin alternatives iwant. Add to the fact there is no test server for me to play with and the fact time is limited to when the kids and wife are asleep, and the reasons for needing to stay on 5 are pretty strong.

Nothing much to add other than this thread deserves a "!" at the end of it, not a "?". Oh, and I've decided to go the DS380 route rather than go for an external DAS box. The only decision now is do I go for the new Server Atom Architecture or go to either desktop or Xeon processors. But that can wait for now.

Yeah, that looks less complicated. Just need to see if I can get it where I am. I assume I would need to also purchase a SATA port multipler that deals with eSATA. I'll troll the threads here to see what's recommend.

I'm looking for an external storage case to add to my server. I keep the server in a place that doesn't allow a much larger case and ventilation isn't great. The idea is to split out some of the disks in my main case to improve cooling and also give me room for expansion. I was looking at this: http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/ex-50/ Nice looking case with the bells and whistles. My question to those who have a better understanding. What would I need to purchase (other than the hard disks of which I have plenty lying around) to have this case hooked up to my server ? Do I need another SATA card ? or can I run one of my current SATA cables to an eSATA and connect from there ?

I'm in the midst of preclearing new 4TB drives which will replace my current 2tb drives. I think the first 3 cycle preclear went fine. Log attached. 90+ hours. I think I'll use this one for parity and run the other 4 drives on a single pre-clear as I'm hoping to have the system backup by Christmas. preclear.txt

I'll have a look at this, thanks. It's doing exactly what I was after by the sound of it. Have a share set to spin up on directory access. I'm not sure if you're still developing cache_dirs but if this solution could be another option in that, it would be lovely. Chose which shares to ignore, which to cache only, and which to cache and spin up. I'm still trying to work out what xaminder found so funny though.
