Is the config and database supposed to stay cache only?

Is the config and database supposed to stay cache only?

 

The general advice is that for appdata folders then it it advisable to map them to a cache only share.

 

So all my docker configs go in a cache only share called appdata.

 

/mnt/cache/appdata/guacamole

/mnt/cache/appdata/owncloud

 

As examples.

[tjnetworking]

Ok I will try that and see if it makes any difference.

Ok I will try that and see if it makes any difference.

Just setting the path to /mnt/cache/appdata is not enough. You have to go to the Shares page and set the appdata share to Use cache disk: Only or mover will move it to the array.

I have a cache only folder

I can confirm from personal experience after a fresh reinstall this weekend that mover moving it to the array is not a good thing for docker containers. 

 

It took a while for the penny to drop as well.

Im Still getting the same error im not sure but it looks like the database is having a problem starting.

Right, I can't explain this, i just completely deleted my container and all the config files, started from scratch and it's loaded up no problems.

And logged in with guacadmin\guacadmin

 

Post a screenshot of your config and check that you definitely deleted all the folders mapped to /config.  You did delete container and image right?

I figured it out some how it was running out of memory I shutdown some of my other dockers then restarted it worked like a charm thanks for all your help.

Question does anyone knows how to get Guacamole to do RDP on a remote site it works internally but when I point it to one of my external sites it never connects.

[ijuarez]

Is a guacamole going to be updated to the next version.

 

How do you setup the connection to connect to a Linux box.

Lxde box to be specific.

[tr0910]

I have observium installed, but the login is not working.  On hub.docker.com it says

 

Browse to http://your-host-ip:8668 and login with user and password observium

 

But I don't get it to work.  Is login supposed to be root / observium ?

[JustinChase]

regarding guacamole:

 

I have this docker up and running (thanks!).  I'm able to connect to my windows 8 VM from my laptop, using RDP, thru Guacamole.

 

But, when I try to connect as a separate user than the one the VM defaults to, it tells me it will log off the other user.  I'd rather not have this happen.  So, I set Guacamole to connect as the same user, which works, but when it connects, it turns the monitor to the weird rainbow/login screen, making the VM session useless/inactive while I'm connected via Guacamole.

 

I used to use RDP a few years ago, and remember I had it set so that I could connect to a session without disrupting that session, but I can't figure out how to do it now.

 

Does anyone know how I can connect to the VM session with RDP (Guacamole) without disrupting the VM session/appearance.

 

Basically, i want to be able to login to the VM to use it to manage some files (since it's way faster), but still let the family continue watching Movies/TV while I do my thing.

I had the same problem and installed TightVNC on my machines and connect via VNC with not user login/lock screen issue.

Thanks for the feedback.  Did you have to install TightVNC on the VM also, or just the computer you wish to connect with (my laptop)?

 

I just connected with my windows 8 laptop RDC and it worked okay.  it disconnected the Guacamole session, and allowed me to see the VM in full screen, which was nice, but it was really laggy, and didn't seem to allow the VM to run programs at VM native speed.  it seemed to slow down what I was doing quite a bit; which I suspect is because it was going thru my wifi to my laptop; which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid by RDC.

 

Also, when I disconnected the windows RDC, the login screen on the VM didn't go away, which is disappointing.  Oh well.

 

I'll look into TightVNC and see if it will do what I'm wanting.

 

thanks again.

[smdion]

Installed TightVNC on the VMs I want to connect to and in guacamole set the protocol to VNC and connect

[JustinChase]

Installed TightVNC on the VMs I want to connect to and in guacamole set the protocol to VNC and connect

 

I'm not getting this to work.

 

I installed tightvnc on the windows vm, set a password for user and admin, then tried to connect to it with guacamole, but it just never connects.

 

I suspect I'm missing some crucial step, but so far, I'm stuck.

[JustinChase]

neglected to set port 5900 in guacamole setup.  I'm connected now.

 

Is there any way to connect without mirroring the VM?

 

Ideally I'd like to be able to work on the VM from my laptop without the monitor connected to the VM seeing what I'm doing.

 

Sometimes I just need to do some file maintenance, and it's MUCH faster if I can do it on the VM, than over wifi on my laptop; but I don't want the family to have to stop using the TV while I do my work.

 

Is this possible, either with tightvnc, or some other method?  I used to be able to do this with a hack for windows7, but it seems not possible with windows8.

 

Maybe logging in as a different user than the main user on the VM, for example?

hmm All of my VMs are on ESXi and are headless....  So I don't need to do anything with a monitor.  Do you have it installed as a service?

[JustinChase]

Yeah, it's installed as a service.

 

My Windows 8 VM is my HTPC replacement.  I've run a long HDMI cable from the server in the attic to the TV in the living room.  Works great, just this 'issue' with mirroring.

 

Not a big deal really, as it's better than what I had been doing, which was shut down the VM with GPU passthru, then relaunching it with VNC on my laptop so i could do what I needed, then closing that and relaunching with GPU passthru.  At least this way, i can just access it in place, so I have less "hoop-jumping".

 

I was just hoping there was another/better way to let me have full access while the VM was in use as an HTPC.

OOOOHhhh I miss-read your question.  Sorry, no help with that.

[JustinChase]

no problem, you were quite helpful to me getting this far.

 

thanks again.

[JustinChase]

for anyone following along, I got it resolved.  Here is a wrapper which circumvents the RDP restrictions on most/all versions of windows...

 

I had to register to get the links, but here is the download...

 

Quick instructions are, download version 1.5, unzip it to the computer which you want to remote into, run the RDPConf.exe - which lets you set some options (like shadowing, and multiple connections),  open a command prompt as administrator on the client machine, cd to the unzipped directory, run RDPWInst.exe -i and it should install everything necessary for it to work.  I restarted the machine, but I'm not sure if it was necessary.

 

Once restarted, I used the RDP built into windows to connect to the machine, and confirmed it did not disrupt the session in progress on the VM.  I played a movie on the VM, extracted an MKV in one session, and installed and started configuration of a Plex docker on a 3rd connection.  All worked great.

 

In the end, it seems I didn't/don't need Guacamole for any of this (although it did work fine).  The windows RDP program displays in full screen at a higher resolution, and ran at nearly full speed, even over wifi.

 

Thanks again for all the help.

Is Guacamole going to be updated to the next version?

 

I'm interested in the latest version (v.0.9.7 - http://guac-dev.org/release/release-notes-0-9-7) as well as there seem to be many improvements, mainly the ability to kill a user session and official Docker support. Would you be able to update your docker please? Thanks very much!!!
