No the app I want to use doesn’t have any docker image or docker container in unraid community apps , but on github it does have a docker compose yml file but I don’t know how to install it , also there is no active support from the repo admin.

You should really get into the basics first before you start posting everywhere, there is even a Compose plugin for Unraid available but you could install Docker containers from everywhere on Unraid because it's Docker.

Whatever is needed is available on community apps , thats the blessing but there is no good tutorial for non tech people like me as how to install docker containers from outside.

There are plenty of tutorials on Youtube or you even can ask ChatGPT nowadays to get into the basics.

I just took a look at the tutorial and it is very well written...

 

If you just need Nvidia GPU in the container then do:

1. Install the Nvidia Driver plugin on your Unraid Server
2. Set up LXC
3. Download the zip file from the linked post and open readme.txt
4. Create a container and but don't start it
5. Edit the container config and follow step 6 from readme.txt what to put into the config
6. Start the container and open up a terminal from the container
7. Follow everything from step 8 (granted you have all necessary dependencies installed)
8. Done

 

I can't help any further since I don't have a Nvidia GPU installed on my LXC system however even if you follow the readme.txt from the pinned post step by step you will eventually end up with a container with Nvidia GPU support and a Desktop environment.

Im stuck at step 7

Sorry, but this is not the support thread on how to install Nvidia in a LXC container, this is the LXC container support thread from the plugin itself.

 

You have multiple issues and I assume other things failed earlier in the process, again these are all basic things and I can't guide you through everything... Sorry.

Ok , thanks 

Hi, I'm having an issue getting the LXC to respect memory limits set in the config file. See the file below:

 

But when running the container, it only seems to respect the CPU limits and not the memory limit:

 

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong. I would really appreciate any help.

Did you restart unriad after making the manual config edit. not sure if LXC service needs a reboot after that type of config edit.

LXC doesn't rely on a service and you don't have to restart the server, just the container.

If you set:

lxc.cgroup2.memory.max = 4G

then the memory limit is respected but displayed wrong, I'll push an update to the plugin itself, thanks for the report.

 

EDIT: Update pushed, please update the plugin to version 2025.01.03 and you should see your memory limits correctly on the LXC page.

Wow! That was fast! It's showing correctly now as 4GiB. Thanks for taking care of that so quickly.

I want to move my LXC container from Proxmox to Unraid. Using the command line, I executed the restore command, and it was indicated as successful. However, it is not showing up in the GUI. Am I missing something?

 

thx

Yes, the folder structure is not correct:

- lxc
  - iobroker
    - rootfs
      - bin
      - usr
      - ...
    - config

Can you please be a bit more specific which command that you where using?

 

 

If you want to import anything from Proxmox it would be best to create a container with the same distribution and release that you where using for the container on Proxmox but don't start it, then go into the folder from that container, go into rootfs, delete everything in there and extract the contents from your container from Proxmox into there, after that the container should start fine.

lxc-autobackup --restore --name=iobroker --newname=iobroker
I created a backup in Proxmox and converted it into a .tar.xz file. I then moved it to the LXC backup folder in Unraid and specified the folder in the LXC settings. However, the backup didn’t show up in the GUI. After that, I executed the restore command.

This command is Unraid specific and is only meant to backup and restore containers from and on Unraid.

 

However you can do the process as described above and this shoudl work fine.

 

Main issue is that it seems that Proxmox doesn‘t backup the config and that‘s why you don‘t see anything on Unraid.

Thank you very much for your tip, it worked wonderfully. I still have a small problem, I cannot start an LXC container via the GUI, and the autostart doesn't work either. I have to do it manually via the shell with 'lxc-start iobroker'.

Do you know this phenomenon? And do you have a solution?

Please post your Diagnostics.

This is a good plugin. I've been using it for a while. Thanks for working on it!

I wish this functionality was built-in to Unraid. Seems like a good fit given Docker and KVM are both built-in.

It might will be at some point, for now it's a plugin and it won't work any different than if it's built in.

Hi everyone.

 

I've tried to create a  new LXC using the DebianVNC template using:

 

wget https://github.com/ich777/unraid_lxc_debian_novnc/raw/refs/heads/master/lxc_container_template.xml -O /tmp/lxc_container_template.xml

 

Then I go into:

http://server:81/LXCAddTemplate

 

All the information populates on the screen correctly:

 

 

The issue is that pressing on CREATE does nothing. DONE gets me to the LXC page.

 

I've tried in Brave/Brave Incognito/Firefox/Firefox Incognito. Have you seen this on your side?

Thank you for the report, this was an issue with the pattern matching on the LXCAddTemplate site, please update the plugin to 2025.01.09 and it should work again.

Can I also send it to you via PM?

when I'm in my lx containers cli and like to reboot the container and use the command

reboot

it does shutdown but does not start again. i need to manualy start the lxc in the unraid menu again. Is this normal?
