trurl Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hey everyone. I just installed Dolphin after a failed experiment with Torindo. I'm trying to set up Dolphin s.t. I can access it remotely, but I don't see anywhere where I can configure a user/password to prevent open access to the world. Is there some configuration somewhere to allow this or do I need to basically shut it off from the internet and remote in to use it? Thanks in advanced. I think you must misunderstand the purpose of Dolphin since it is nothing like Tonido. A good analogy for Dolphin is Windows File Explorer. This particular docker implementation of it is just giving you a Linux desktop in a browser with the Dolphin file manager already launched. Yeah, sorry my end goal was always just something to manage my files without managing them from my other systems, not necessarily to have access to the files remotely like with Tonido. I still like being able to manage files while I'm away, but would rather not have it open to the world. With that in mind, is there a way to lock it down? Best option is vpn, second best is to use a reverse proxy like nginx. With reverse proxy, you can set a password through .htpasswd For vpn, check out the openvpn server dockers For nginx, you can use either the nginx docker or the letsencrypt one I have, which sets up a free 3rd party SSL certificate with nginx Many new routers have VPN built-in. I use the built-in VPN on my ASUS router, and I also use Teamviewer to remote control computers on my home network. Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 when using the calibre rdp docker, how do I connect up my kobo so that I can transfer the books over to my device? If this were a VM I could pass through the USB but thats not the case here. Whats the best way of doing this? Or do I have to use the server and download the file over wifi (would like to avoid wifi connections if possible)...? I believe docker can pass through usb devices as long as the host (unraid) has loaded the drivers for them. I'm not sure if unraid contains any drivers for the kobo device (perhaps recognizes as an sd card?). I use it with a Kindle and my preferred method is to send the ebooks to the kindle associated amazon email addresses through calibre and the books are delivered to the devices. The other method is downloading them from the server. There's a nice option for this I wrote an article for, allows emailing books directly to your kindle... Have a look here.. Quote Link to comment
mattekure Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 With your RDP-Calibre docker, is there a way that I could temporarily set the Temp directory to something not in the docker? I am trying to import a large number of books and it very quickly fills up the entire docker with files in the calibre tmp directory. This would only need to be done once on the initial import and after that it could go back to its normal setting. I originally had the docker.img at 20Gb, but that filled up with about 1% of the import done . I increased the size of the docker to 200Gb, but watching the size grow, it is likely to fill up again before its finished. Quote Link to comment

mattekure Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I only notice it because I am importing a library well over 400Gb, and my cache drive isnt that big. Quote Link to comment

I'll look into it. It is strange that Calibre doesn't do any clean up of the tmp files until the import is completed. Here's a temporary workaround (since you only have to do this once, it should be fine). You can edit the container in unraid gui, and add a new volume mapping. Put in "/tmp" under container volume and put in whatever folder on unraid you would like to use for the temporary temp location (double temp :-) under host path. This way, that folder you pick, which should be outside of the docker image and somewhere on your array, cache drive or a disk outside of the array, should be used for the temporary files during import. After import, if you like, you can edit the container settings to remove that mapping, and then you can delete that folder, too. Keep in mind that every time you edit the container settings (if edge is set to 1), the container will download the latest version which may take a few minutes depending on how calibre's server is feeling. By the way, are you hosting the National Library Archives? 400GB of ebooks? How? Quote Link to comment
Cstolworthy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I am having an issue with the plex requests docker. Everything appears to pull and install correctly, docker reports that the container is started. But when I attempt to browse to the service, it gives me a "Connection refused". I can't seem to find any logs, so I am not sure how to troubleshoot it at this point. Here is a screenshot of my configuration: http://i.imgur.com/WKXiZW3.png Quote Link to comment

Bjonness406 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Is there a way with plex request so that I can connect it to my movies library so I can see what movies are available? It works fine with my Tv Shows, but not with my movies. I have sonarr for tv Shows, but I have not CouchPotato for movies, does that have anything to say? Quote Link to comment

wreave Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I am working with nginx-letsencrypt and having a terrible time trying to configure reverse proxy. I had reverse proxy working with regular nginx but any time I add a server block into the site-confs folder it seems to break it as I can no longer resolve any pages. I am attempting to do it via subdomain (sonarr.domain.com, etc). Currently all the domains I added are correctly resolving to the default block and displaying the index.html file. Any suggestions on how I should be configuring this to get it to work the same as normal nginx? Quote Link to comment

poet_will Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Aptalca, I am having a problem with Calibre. I believe I have installed everything they way I'm supposed to. Please see my attached screenshot. When I first logged into Calibre it had me do some set-up steps. It asked me where to save my library. I had to create the "calibre" folder in root (/calibre) to match what I had set-up in the Unraid GUI. So everything is running. However, Calibre comes with one book already in the database (the Quick Start Guide). I look in my /mnt/user/AppData/Calibre/config folder and there is no book there. How do I add books to calibre. Through the webgui it lets me choose a folder where the books are that I want to add. Yet, I can't get to any Unraid shares, just local files in the container. I really think I'm missing something and I don't know what it is. Nevermind! I figured it out. I needed to put the books into the /config folder not create a /calibre folder. Thanks If you or anyone else can help me I would really appreciate it. thanks Quote Link to comment
kyis Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I started dabbling with docker but I still have no clue what I'm doing. I successfully installed Zoneminder 1.29 silently in a container using that http://pastebin.com/wemBJ5XD Maybe it can help, in the meantime I'm going to wrap my head around how docker works and ditch the windows toolbox to build, it's asking for pain. Edit: forgot to mention it was based on the same base image as you but at 0.9.18 Quote Link to comment
