[[Support] knex666 - Nextcloud]

So I got this working and I'm digging it because it was easier to setup then other nextcloud options. However, would it be possible for you to adjust the container so it can use cron for "background jobs"?

 

Some extended apps like "News" requires it and it seems like it is usually recommended to use cron over the other 2 methods.

 

Thanks in advance!

[Unraid Forum 100K Giveaway]

I love the versatility unraid can be used for, ie: VM host, bulk storage, docker host, etc.

 

One thing I would like to see in the future is an easy way to have remote data replication between 2 unraid hosts for remote site backup. I know this is possibly with the right knowledge and tools configuration, but I think it should be simplified so that anyone can set it up. I'm fairly technical and still have not set it up because of that reasoning.

 

Other things I would love to see:

1. Wifi support (With this, I could in theory make all desktop computers unraid hosts and use VM's for normal desktop usage, which would increase flexibility)

2. Easier VFIO setup. I'm still attempting to get my first attempt working, but the fact that you have to edit the xml to pass a gpu correctly should not be a requirement if possible. It should know when passing both the gpu and gpu sound card together to set the correct settings.

3. Nextcloud support to enable replacement of cloud based contacts/calendar/storage solutions. I know this can be done via docker, but some of them could be considered not friendly to setup for new users. With the feature for remote replication,  and this, I would feel comfortable replacing online services with this solution. Right now I haven't done so because of the lack of easy remote replication for data safety reasons.

 

Anyways, thanks for everything! Excited to see where unraid goes in the future!

[[Support] Nextcloudpi]

Just tried setting this up, is there no way to change the data directory location?

 

IE: have the application on cache drive (database, configs, etc) and have the user data stored on a array share...

 

Right now it does not look possible to change the data directory to use a different location without putting everything in the same place.

 

I have nextcloudpi instance already running on an odroid hc2 and its possible on that to set/change the directory. Maybe the docker version is slightly different, but I'd rather run it on unraid so I can protect the data better..

 

 

[Double or Triple "Cache" pools]

+1

 

Just determined this would be really useful for my setup, because I was having terrible array read/write performance not being able to use the cache as a normal cache drive utilizing the mover function.

 

I have sense moved all my cache only data to an unassigned SSD device, so I could use a larger 6TB drive for the array cache.

 

My problem is even with a 500GB or 1TB SSD, I would easily write more then 1+ TB of data to the cache per day, causing the mover to have to invoke early. A 6+ TB cache drive solves this and will allow the mover to run normally, but that means I cannot load my "appdata" folder on it as guidance suggests.

 

There needs to be a Protected Array Cache that can use the mover, that way we can use your typical spinner drive for large transfers and a secondary Cache only array for apps/vm's.

 

This is my desired setup... I currently make it work with unassigned devices, but this is not ideal....

 

[(SOLVED) iGPU transcoding: i915 driver present but /dev/dri not available]

@gabestover

 

Your "Go" file should look like this (the one below is mine): 

#!/bin/bash
#Setup drivers for hardware transcoding in Plex
modprobe i915
chmod -R 777 /dev/dri

# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

 

And your plex docker config should have this added under advance settings "Extra Parameters":
 

--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri

 

For reference, here is my system details:

 

 

 

Hope that helps some!

 

EDIT: Also, since Unraid 6.5+, you do not need to modify the boot file "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" that is mentioned above. This was only applicable in the older versions of Unraid that was using an older kernel that did not support  Coffeelake iGPU natively....

Can you post your syslinux.cfg file as an example? I'm looking through the wiki, but I'm not entirely sure where to add it...

 

Should it look like this?

 

label unRAID OS
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage  i915.alpha_support=1
  append initrd=/bzroot

 

I really want to activate HW transcoding for Plex, but I seem to be stuck because it's not seeing the iGPU, for reference, I have ASRock z370 Gaming K6 with i7-8700

 

Thanks for the help in advance!

 

NVM, I figured it out

 

For reference, my file looks like this:

 

default menu.c32
menu title Lime Technology, Inc.
prompt 0
timeout 50
label unRAID OS
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot i915.alpha_support=1
label unRAID OS GUI Mode
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui
label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI)
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode
label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins)
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode
label Memtest86+
  kernel /memtest

I was able to get this working by adding the the kernel parameter i915.alpha_support=1. You can get this to work as well by editing syslinux.cfg as explained here: https://lime-technology.com/wiki/Boot_Codes

Thanks for the help everyone, great community here!

Thank you for the feedback.

 

I have limited access to different bluray disk types. Are there additional strings you can provide? Just let me know if any more show up. I'll update the script soon!

 

Hey, just stumbled across your docker for Ripper!!! I was wondering if you were interested in any suggestions? I modified your Rip script slightly to add MKV profiles, which would allowed myself to adjust the default Audio/Subtitle/Track selections. The reason for doing this, is because by default it does not select the HD audio tracks.

 

I was wondering if I could help you possibly incorporate the change to improve the usage.

 

I've added the files below that I'm using (currently testing it).  Basically I added the default profile (I customized it already for my needs, distributing the default would be preferred), which can be customized and then added this to the makemkvcon command:

 

--profile=/config/default.mmcp.xml
