  1. Thanks for the link - hopefully this third iteration of ifs repair will do it's job on my system.
  2. Derp - UI is fine if I access by IP, so long as I specify https....
  3. Did you ever find a solution to this, currently remote and the VPN readdressing is messing with my ability to access the UI... containers are fine, but the UI redirects constantly...
  4. Don't know what's happened since, but I have done at least one more shutdown and restart from cold (switched in RAM from a matching system), and now it doesn't show br0 at all - which is what I expected to see originally. I don't see a huge benefit in bridging the interfaces on my home network (only protects against the failure of one NIC in a matched pair or one cable in a parallel pair, there are much more likely failures available) so... have I missed something or am I free to have the second interface available for "special" tasks as needed.
  5. HP Microserver Gen8 with UnRaid Version 6.8.3 2020-03-05 The Gen8 has a pair of Gbps NICs, and by default these were brought up as a bonded bridge (br0). To save my main LAN from the main transfer of data from my old server to unraid I split the nics, and used a direct cable connection with an unused IP range (10.20.30.0/24) set manually on the two servers. The dashboard on UnRaid now shows: I'd have thought that if br0 didn't exist then the dashboard would not try to read data? Or does the fact that it is still trying imply that br0 is either required for something, or not properly deleted? All of my networking changes were done through the UI, and I have rebooted since (to add a pair of disks). Thanks,
  6. Can't see an obvious place on the gitHub page for user support so.... Using the YouTube-DL container, and can't see an option to not download the video to my laptop as well as the unRaid server? Pretty sure I'm being completely blind... I've got it pulling to the relevant shares, and plex is picking it up nicely. Hopefully it's pulling subtitles now as well 🤞
  7. Display resolution not *that* important when all you are showing is xclock fullscreen (I'm assuming 640*480?) Would need to ensure that there is basically no display lag (I wouldn't have thought there would be) The clock specifically is a very niche use case, I absolutely agree - I'd not have thought that the slightly more general being able to push VM displays to physical displays without passing through whole GPUs was completely unheard of.
  8. I have an HP micro server that I am looking at virtualising for a number of reasons. It would need to run at least one windows VM (Running RadioDJ, so no need for dedicated GPU) and at least one linux VM (depends how I split up the other associated work - network access, security, streaming, recording). The Windows VM would need access to a physical display, as well as USB peripherals (pass through is likely here for multiple USB sound cards) Additionally we need to display a clock on a second display, this could either be unRaid doing it itself, or one of the linux VMs accessing another display on the host. - Can unRaid handle VM displays like this, or does it only do GPU Passthrough (thus requiring me to have multiple GPUs) - Can unRaid put an analog clock to it's screen (then only the Windows box would need a GPU, which might be plausible) Cheers,
  9. Looking for a relatively simple to use system (since I might not always be the person managing it) that allows for sensible updates to key software, and sane security etc... For a couple of months of the year I help run a charity radio station, and the studio/transmission technology in particular. We have ~ six weeks set up as a training studio, then 4 as a live studio. FM licensing has become prohibitively expensive, so we are online only at the moment, and therefore have a couple of computers in the studio. - Windows 7, primarily running RadioDJ, but also running BUTT as an audio streamer pushing the stream to the other computer. Complication is that is uses a pair of USB audio cards... - Linux, acting as a very strict firewall (I think I might even have disabled ip forwarding), as well as an ICECAST relay, audio recording server, NTP server and is the only box on the network with an internet connection - either via the house network when as a training studio or using an old Android phone plugged in via USB when on location. This sets up a VPN to my server and ICECAST is sent across that tunnel. This box also drives a second monitor with a clock, it'd be nice to have a twitter stream on there as well. The linux box is currently an HP microserver G8 (IIRC), and I have added a passively cooled graphics card to provide HDMI and DVI output (the native gfx is VGA). I'd like to consolidate the hardware - but don't want the windows box to have a sniff of the internet (it's a never connected box, with a singe piece of software that is ever used). The obvious choices I see: - Run windows in a virtual box environment under linux. USB passthrough and user friendliness issues, as well as capturing the mouse/keyboard within the VM - Run Linux in a virtual box environment under windows. Networking issues and mouse.keyboard capture - Run them both (or Windows + docker containers for specific functions) under unRaid I don't know enough about unRaid to know the issues this is likely to cause - HomeBrew KVM/Xen/ESXi solution I don't like things that rely on me being around to fix them Major question... Given that I have no need for 3d acceleration - is it possible to split the GFX card between two VMs (obviously emulating it to both and running the actual screens in unRAID)? That would allow me to use two digital gfx outputs rather than struggling to find a VGA monitor... Cheers, John
