    [Support] Linuxserver.io - Emby

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    lsio issues updates for the containers if the base OS has an update (security patch), or emby get's updated pretty much the minute that it happens.

     

    emby issues updates for the containers whenever they release a new stable version (ie: 2 months ago) or if you installed the beta version 2 days ago.  No clue about their security policies.

     

    If you're going to be using the nVidia plugin, you're definitely going to want to run the lsio version, as it'll at least be tested with the nvidia hardware transcoding.  Everything else probably only supports intel GPU transcoding if you passthrough the appropriate commands and have a compatible (ie: older iGPU)

     

    All else being equal and if you're not doing hardware transcoding, you're looking at either lsio or @binhex

    Great answer, (i quoted the parts most relevant to me) thanks.

     

    I don't mind the choice, it's just that there's no differentiating information in the information available. Rather than stopping duplicates, it'd be good if new additions were required to explain the differences.

     

    I'll go with LinuxServer's i think. I've had good experience with those guys and girls :)

     

    Cheers.

    [Support] Linuxserver.io - Jellyfin

    in Docker Containers

    Posted · Edited by Derek_

    Hi guys, where's the cache and metadata?

     

    Inside Jellyfin settings it says /config/cache and /config/data/metadata but that doesn't seem to correspond to the directory structure. I could find:

    appdata/cache

    appdata/data/metadata

     

    is appdata/config 'hardcoded' as the prefix? So the App basically thinks its:

    appdata/config/cache

    appdata/config/data/metadata

     

    Thanks.

    Recycle Bin (vfs recycle) for SMB Shares

    Remove the spaces.  "appdata,system,AppDataBackup,Downloads"

    Thanks for this plugin. I've just installed this, did a couple of quick tests and it seems nice :)

     

    Would it be possible to update the 'help text' in the app next time you do an update to illustrate the appropriate syntax? The only example given is a single share.

     

    I've also noticed that a few people have asked 'why doesn't it work when [not using SMB/Samba]?'. Another idea might be to make that a bit more obvious in the settings. I didn't realise this either but i worked it out by myself pretty quickly.

     

    Just ideas humbly presented for your consideration :)

    Fyi i'm on 6.8.2 now and it works. I needed to re-install Borg-Backup and reboot then accept the update for libffi - but it did/does work. Is it possible to include that update the Borg dependencies so it installs with Borg? Obviously not so much for me - but for anyone else who uses Borg and wants/needs to be able to mount.
     
    Thanks again for the NerdPack emoji4.png

    I'll do that next time I update the plugin

     

    NW. cheers. My second small donation made, enjoy your beer/s (Broke Dad Computers). Thanks for the work you put into this pack of essential goodies :)  🙏

    Improve OOTB SSH security

    in Feature Requests

    Posted · Edited by Derek_

    Please consider disabling SSH OOTB.

    Reason: Root has no password yet. Some people have their 22 port already open for other devices they manage on their network.

     

    A warning popup before letting the user turn on SSH, recommending the user first:

    1. ideally sets up SSH keys; or

    2. At a minimum, set a strong password; or

    3. They're network is internal only (i.e. 22 isn't forwarded).

     

    Additionally, incorporate the features provided in the SSH/DenyHosts plugins authored (or fixed) by @docgyver . I notice that the SSH plugin's origins are from at least 2013, but docgyver picked it up only at unRAID 6.1. It's unfortunate that such essential for security SSH configurations must be maintained by a volunteer. If docgyver hadn't picked it up - i'm not sure we would have the enhancements his/her plugin provides.

     

     

    Thank you :)

    Plex/Emby/Jellyfin Not so much for Music?

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by Derek_

    So i'm the old guy who keeps all of his music in directories and i've never created a playlist *ever*. I just go fine the song/s i want to play and drag them into my desktop player and play. But lately i've been wanting to stream music and obviously my old-school methods don't cut it. But i'm also not the kind of person who is going to devise 150 playlists. I might have half a dozen - as i don't generally sort my music into genre except for "harder" stuff like old-school rap music (80s/90s mainly) and techno/house/trance mixups. Simply being able to select a genre or artist from the metadata without having to make a playlist would be nice.

     

    I've had a bit of a play with Emby for my music collection and i do find it a bit clunky. While i quite like Emby for video - I'm not a huge fan of the interface for music. I see there's a few music-specific Dockers but i don't know anyone who uses them. What's a good starting point? FWIW i have Denon HEOS equipment at home (just one speaker and an amp) but the HEOS app is... well... not fun to use.

     

    Pointers from those more experienced than myself are appreciated.

    Search Field in webUI

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    I sometimes struggle to find things in the settings or wherever. Can we please have a search field? There's plenty of room in the banner area.

     

    Being able to type "nerd" to find the nerdpack in settings or "ssh" or whatever can be much faster than navigating to a tab then visually hunting for it.

     

    A really good example of the implementation is the newer versions of the Unifi Controller.

    Easier/Prettier way to unlock encrypted array

    in Feature Requests

    Posted · Edited by Derek_

    Well 6.8 brought a pretty login screen - but only for the root user :( Us who have encrypted arrays still have to login as root, navigate to to MAIN, scroll down, click in the field, enter our password and click Start.

     

    Pretty please create a IP/Start login screen which users can start the array without having to login as root and do the navigation bizzo :)

    Unraid OS 6.8.2 and General Security Tips

    in Unraid Blog and Uncast Show Discussion

    Posted

    It's a good blog/article. Thanks.

     

    As for ideas: disable SSH OOTB.

    Reason: Root has no password yet. Some people have their 22 port already open for other devices they manage on their network.

     

    A warning popup before letting the user turn on SSH, unless the user has:

    1. ideally set up SSH keys; or

    2. At a minimum, set a strong password; or

    3. They're network is internal only (i.e. 22 isn't forwarded)

     

    ...or is this thread for users rather than for Lime?

     

    If it's for users only - install the SSH plugin by @docgyver and disable root SSH login, disable passwords, pick/make a non-root user for SSH functions and only use keys. Some people also recommend not using the default port 22. It's much more secure to SSH as a limited user, with keys, and su to root if you need root.

     

    I really hope that Lime integrate these SSH features into the OS from the outset because it's essential OS security that is currently being provided by a volunteer. Bless him/her :)

    [Support] Linuxserver.io - Unifi-Controller

    in Docker Containers

    Posted · Edited by Derek_

    This plugin is fantastic. Thank you so much for making it. I have finally migrated off my seldom turned on Windows 7 laptop. I had tried in the past to move off that laptop to a different device, but i failed. With this Docker too, I had some problems adopting the Controller (nothing to do with the Docker) and i discovered two things about this Controller software and the WAP in the process:

    1. It can take a few minutes before it actually tells you the adoption failed, whereupon you get a "+" button in the Devices section which takes you to "advanced adoption". It took me AGES to notice that!

    2. That advanced adoption uses SSH (maybe that's how it always adopts?). I didn't realise SSH doesn't adopt the password of the Controller. I had changed it some time in the past (years ago) which is why i couldn't bloody well connect to it!

     

    So thanks again. I've just signed up to LinuxServer and made my first (small) donation. As you have several other plugins i'm pretty sure i'll be donating more in the future. Cheers! 🙏

    [Support] Linuxserver.io - Unifi-Controller

    At the time of this post, LTS is 5.6.42, so no, LTS is several versions older.

     

    LTS is definitely the recommended version, unless you enjoy being a beta tester. Unifi has a pretty consistent history of breaking things with new releases, so stick with what works, especially if this is a production setting. If it's your testing lab, go right ahead with latest, but be ready for havoc with any given update.

    Thanks.

     

    I'm currently running it on an old laptop (it's mostly off). My friend told me to update it, and export the settings ".unf" file (?) and then try the Docker. But in doing so i see that the laptop is running 5.12. Would it be safe to use the LTS (5.6x) Docker? Perhaps i'll have to use 'latest' Docker to safely import the .unf file?

     

    I'm generally happy to be a bit behind.  I wouldn't mind changing it to a different stream down the track - Is that possible?

     

    Last question i think: I don't see any LTS monikers on Ubiquiti's site. Where does the LTS come from?

    Thanks for the effort, unfortunately it didn't work.


    I uninstalled everything, rebooted, re-installed Borg which installed everything. libffi needed an update ('update ready') - i did the update. Everything is up to date. Rebooted. 

    borgbackup-1.1.10.20191231-x86_64-1.txz
libffi-3.3-x86_64-1.txz
llfuse-1.1-x86_64-4_slonly.txz
python3-3.8.1-x86_64-1.txz
python-setuptools-42.0.2-x86_64-2.txz

     

    Tried borg again:

    Quote

    borg mount not available: loading FUSE support failed [ImportError: No module named 'llfuse']

     

    I noticed python 2.7 was 'update ready'. So i updated that, rebooted. Sadly it didn't help either - same error :(  Maybe it has more to do with the out of date Slackware package?

     

    I really appreciate the effort, but maybe i'll just have to wait until i update to 6.8.

    For those trying to get BorgBackup mounting to work:

     

    https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/borgbackup/

    Quote

    FIXME: Due to outdated version of llfuse here at SBo, building borgbackup with mount support using llfuse will fail.

     

    Is this what is messing us up, if so what can we do about this? I don't know how Slackware maintenance works, can we request it be updated?

     

    I note that Arch's version of Python-llfuse is higher: 1.3.6-2

    https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/python-llfuse/

     

    1.1 for Slackware

    https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/python/llfuse/

     

    Or is there a manual workaround?

     

    Thanks.
