    I got tired of flaky Nvidia audio around Sierra and just bought cheap usb audio adapters. They work perfectly and no futzing with kexts, installing this, removing that, screwing up the vm, punching the monitor, yelling at the dog... it's just simpler.

    (Just picked a random post to quote to get your attention)

    Today my GT 730 Video Card came.

     

    Before I get it put in, is their anything I need to know or specifically do? Power down Unraid box, boot to bios and make sure iGPU is "primary" if I am given any choices for such and let it boot up; while keeping VGA still hooked to iGPU? Then at that point "pass through" the GT730 to my Mojave; making sure to backup XML before hand in case something goes wrong?

     

    That sound right or is their anything else you can think of I need to take into consideration and do before I install card? Do before I pass through? Anything?

     

    Thanks a ton! 

  2. As a bit of warning, I had a few dockers set up before starting down the path of using letsencrypt, so I never did set up the custom bridge. I had to make the call to the IP address instead of using the name, but I hacked it together from my radarr conf file.
     
    server {   listen 443 ssl;   server_name bitwarden.*;   include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;   client_max_body_size 0;   location / {       include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;       resolver 127.0.0.11 valid=30s;       set $upstream_bitwarden bitwarden;proxy_pass http://192.168.1.xxx:8888;   }}

    Hope this helps



    Finally, somehow, figured it out. Must’ve been that 1,253,397th attempt lol
  3. I couldn’t find anything working thus far; trying to find a WORKING CONF for Bitwarden. Been having a heck of a time.

    I tried using Sonar and changing to “bitwarden” and changing all the ports but no dice. My domain is bw.Xxxxxx.net, and my Unraid is on 192.169.1.5 and using a “proxynet” as in space invaders videos.

    Could anyone be as kind to help me figure out a working CONF?

  4. That's probably a pretty good guess.  I would research if that Intel chipset will work with MacOS or not though.  If you find that it doesn't, you can always get an addon ASMedia card for $30 or so and pass that through instead.  There were a few people having problems passing through USB controllers in the past.  One of the problem ones was a Fresco I think.  Don't know about Intel, unless the Intel controller uses another chipset for the actual USB controller.


    66% chance of NOT hitting unraid port LOL.

    I’ll have to find SpaceInvaders video on identifying ports LOL. I KNOW my luck; if it’s not bad luck it’s not my luck AND it’s never in my favor [emoji848][emoji23]
  5. From the Unraid control panel, go to Tools and then select system devices.  You'll likely have more than 1 USB controller, but you can't pass the controller that your Unraid USB key is plugged into.  I ended up have 3 on my board.  2 controllers the ports on the back panel and front panel header and then there was another USB header plug on the board that was on a 3rd controller.  I don't recall immediately, but there is a way to show which controller the USB key is connected to by using the command line with a command.  I think Space Invader One has a video about USB controller pass through.


    Looks like 3. I’m guessing Front3.0/Back 3.0/Back 2.0 [emoji848]

  6. Based on 1812's posts, you should have no problems with the GT730 and Mojave.  I had other Nvidia cards working with High Sierra in the past and they worked great, right up to the point where I went to dual screens.  Then problems started.  I broke down and bought a 580x Radeon card for my Mac VM and have a Nvidia 1080 ti for the Windows VM.  This is my daily machine and I use both OSes interchangably all the time and push both of them to the limits, sometimes both at once.  I'm running a 10 core i9 7900x.  Your quad core should be fine with 4 vCPUs to each vm and split the ram, being sure to leave 1 or 2 gb for unraid to use.
    As far as USB pass through, you'll need to determine how many USB controllers you have on your motherboard and will need to pass an entire controller to a vm if you want to plug and unplug USB devices in both operating systems.  If one system will only have fixed devices, say a keyboard, mouse and a sound device, you can pass through the individual USB devices to the VM instead of the controller.
    ASMedia USB controllers seem to work great in MacOS.  I don't remember the chipset I have, but I've passed a bunch of them through without problems.  A few of us were discussing USB chipsets and controllers a ways back in this thread.


    Thanks for the plethora of advice mate!! Is their is way to easily tell how many USB controllers I have?

    Hopefully the 730 shows up mid next week.
  7. In order to have both operating systems booted and running at the same time, you need to have a GPU for each one.  If the iGPU works for Windows and you've ordered a GTX710 for Mojave, you can potentially run both at once if you have enough other resources in the system.
    I built a machine specifically for running both OSes at once over a year ago that I am using today and love it.  Everything depends on the total resources of the machine and what you are trying to do with each operating system.


    Has a Xeon 3.5ghz quad core and 32gb of ram; should do fine; I think. Even with both VMS running now resources aren’t maxed or anything crazy. Yeah, I’ll just continue to run Unraid and Win10 off IGPU and Mojave off GT730. We’ll see what happens. Found a refurb GT730 on amazon for $39 so if it doesn’t work no big loss, will just pass it through for Win10 and give up on Mojave [emoji848][emoji2373]
  8. leave your cable how they are. only thing to watch out for is making sure that your onboard/integrated GPU is set as primary in your bios. that will leave unRaid GUI on that monitor.
     
    then you can run cables to another monitor for your osx vm from the Nvidia card.
     
    You can use any other VM with the card as well, just not at the same time.

    Alright!

    So Windows10 and OSX just BOTH can’t be booted at same time on Unraid? Win10 seems to be “fine” with IGPU though; I will probably just switch Mojoave to new GPU. I may not hook monitor to new GPU for Mojave; just need graphics to be “better than 4mb” and not tear and be all jacked up through VNC.

    Thanks a ton, as usual mate!
  9. I currently use a 710 and a 730 on 2 different Mojave vm’s with no issues. You just pass it through and the native macOS drivers run it. That’s it. You may have issues with audio but that’s a minor annoyance vs not having video.


    Sorry to quite you AGAIN but couple more questions for clarifications...

    When new card shows up I’ll power server down and install. When powering back up will video cable stay how it is(on IGPU) or will it now connect to 730? Will 730 ONLY be used for OSX VM or will entire Unraid box use it? For better or worse I usually like to keep Unraid box booted up to GUI. Will My Win10VM share the new card?

    Any steps or information would be excellent. Mainly just not clear if once I install it the whole system will use it or remain on IGPU and only stuff passed through will use new card and if new card can be simultaneously passed through new 730 concurrently.

    Thanks a ton!

    Sorry; read back and we’d covered that; just got excited thought BestBuy had a 710 in stock; they don’t. They do have some of the XFX AMD cards but apparently only a certain RX580 Pulse works on those. [emoji2361]
  11. [mention=88940]blaine07[/mention] There are still no Mojave web drivers for Nvidia 10 series cards available. I have the EVGA 1050ti and passthrough works but no acceleration with this card without the drivers.

    Well as it is now I don’t even know if passthru is working for me; as in it shows I only have 4mb of video memory and even on VNC lots of screen artifacts and tearing and nearly un useable

     

    Crap crap crap

  12. I use a 710 in one Mojave VM and a 730 in another with no issues ootb.

     

    What about this for a Majave VM:

     

    EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC Gaming, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 04G-P4-6253-KR https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MF7EQJZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_tzZzCbYYG0Y2G

     

    Someone has one I may be able to borrow... [emoji848]

     

    Would it be a nightmare to configure with IDs and KEXT and etc that id never be able to figure out mate?

     

    1812: thank you SO much for your continued efforts to get me straight here, it’s truly very gratefully appreciated mate!!!

  13.  
    I think eventually apple will have to authorize the drivers. It's just a waiting game. I've looked at radeon cards, but never made the jump. 

    Yeah.

    Just not sure what to do. Was confused in first place lol and this doesn’t help. I was excited about the 710 it was not having fan and ONLY one pci slot and now looking at 560/70 they’re all with a fan and dual slots.
