I'm on Unraid 6.9.2 and am not having any issues with configuration persistence post-container restart. Although, I have not checked downloaded file privileges, yet.

 

Also, the container was unbootable and gave errors in logs unless I used /data/* for the container paths, as shown in the docker-cli example in the repository, as quoted below:

 

docker run -d --name soulseek --restart=always \
-v "/persistent/appdata":"/data/.SoulseekQt" \
-v "/persistent/downloads":"/data/Soulseek Downloads" \
-v "/persistent/logs":"/data/Soulseek Chat Logs" \

Just to let you know, the Docker image has just been refactored and updated. It now uses the latest ubuntu image and noVNC package, TigerVNC to scale according to the browser viewport, deprecates the `resolution` and `resize` configuration parameters, and adds parameters to reconfigure the default umask, VNC server password and time zone.

 

Another change, this time breaking, from a few minutes ago. All environment variables are now capitalised.

 

This means the old pgid and puid environment variables have to be changed to PGID and PUID.

 

Just wanted to say thanks for the instructions, this has been working great for me!

So, bit of a weird problem. I got everything running, but the client won't display Japanese characters at all, they are just blank squares and mixed garbage. (Using VNC Viewer, not noVNC.) Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix this. Pic of it below.

 

weirdtext.png.c74f06a2d407b5d3a73367d73eaba851.png

 

And a question: How would I go about setting up the listen ports within unraid? I fiddled around with it some, but I'm kinda feeling around in a dark room, so I have no idea if it is working.

 

Same for me.

 

Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Thai character do not work

Russian character works

 

And thank you for instructions in this topic...I was searching why my container wasn't saving settings, and i found the answer here :)

no, but turning the privilege on fixed it for me.

I have followed some of the unraid docker configs posted in this thread. I can get the container to spin up and run according to the logs, but I keep getting this noVNC error. I've attached snips on my docker config, logs, and the error. Any idea what the issue could be?

In the past when I’ve had vnc issues after reworking configurations, clearing cache in my web browser would sometimes fix it. Try the url in an incognito/private browsing window to test it. 

  • 1 month later...

This is working great for me on the whole, but I have 2 weird issues.

 

Firstly, about 25% of the time, on restart the config's lost. I backed up the config within SlSk, so I restore that, restart from the Docker controls and it's fine. Other times I can reboot the server and it'll come back as it was without needing to reload config.

 

Secondly, every time I check the CA or docker panels, SlSk is reporting that it needs to update. Fairly sure the application hasn't been updated for years and the Github page is showing the last update to the Docker image was 2 months ago. Strangely, it's showing that it's the latest, but also that an update's ready...

image.png.dcde1235709e09ae082233f1ebfd78e8.png

 

Can anyone shed any light on either of these?

  • 2 months later...

@realies I've had your container working, but since the latest update, I can't get any VNC connection.

 

I've never had noVNC working, but using TigerVNC on my local machine or VNC Viewer on my Android devices worked a treat.

 

Can you/anyone see anything wrong/missing here?

@-C-, the image is rebuilt regularly, it updates the dependancies that make it run.

 

@Corneloues, are you sure there's no browser cache? I can't replicate the issue with the latest version.

Browser cache? Locally? Every other container I have has no issues with noVNC.

I'll try a clear for everything from my server and will try a new container

@realies Everything else I have on my server has any issues. But there is something I'm obviously doing wrong here. The container starts but I cannot VNC in to if in any way whatsoever...

 

I've attached my docker template lifted straight from my server. Hoping you can spot my mistakes...

my-Soulseek.xml

@realies sorry to be a PITA... I've tried everything. Deleted, cleared and otherwise. I've deleted the template and started over. Exactly as in the xml posted above.

 

I've checked the logs and all I see is:

I can't get NoVNC or any other VNC client to connect.

I'm out of ideas...

I'm a complete noob with docker, only recently setting up some stuff with it in unraid.  I tried adding danielguerra69's docker and like everyone else couldn't get it to work.  Turns out that the reason is that 32bit apps just don't work properly with docker on unraid - and it's down to unraid's kernel.  The containers I saw were trying to use wine to run a windows soulseek 32bit executable.

 

*However*

 

Soulseek provides a 64bit linux executable.  So, I cloned danielguerra69's project and rebuilt it to use that executable (had to use the nov 2017 beta, feb 2017 crashed all the time).  find the container at whatsalinux/soulseek

 

If you're new with docker as I am, here's the step by step to add it to unraid in docker:

 

  1. Click add container
  2. name = soulseek
  3. repository = whatsalinux/soulseek
  4. categories = downloaders
  5. Docker Hub URL = https://hub.docker.com/r/whatsalinux/soulseek/
  6. Template URL = https://hub.docker.com/r/danielguerra/soulseek/~/dockerfil
  7. Icon URL = http://www.slsknet.org/news/sites/default/files/slsk_bird.jpg
  8. WebUI = http://[IP]:[PORT:5950]/
  9. Network Type = bridge
  10. Privileged = Yes  (got fuse errors without this)
  11. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Path 
  12. name = Appdata config path |  container path=/home/soulseek/.config/  | host path = /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/config   
  13. presume you have an "appdata" share, if not, create one, then mkdir -p this directory on unraid:  mkdir -p /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/{config,Downloads,Music} 
  14. on unraid : chown nobody.users -R /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/* 
  15. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Path
  16. name = Host Path 1 | Container Path = /home/soulseek/Music/  | host path = /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/Music/
  17. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Path
  18. name = Host Path 2 | Container Path = /home/soulseek/Downloads/  | host path = /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/Downloads/
  19. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Path
  20. name = Host Path 3 | Container Path = /home/soulseek/.SoulseekQt/  | host path = /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/SoulseekQt/
  21. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Port
  22. name = Host Port 1 | container port = 5900 | host port = 5950

From there, let it build, then open a vnc client and hit <unraid ip>:5950

  1. Once you enter your user/pass, choose "/home/soulseek/Music" as your shared directory. 
  2. Under File Sharing, click "Set Download Folder" and choose /home/soulseek/Music
  3. Your config files should persist in /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/config and load up when you rebuild the container. 
  4. LIkewise, Downloaded Music should persist in /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/Downloads. 
  5. Add music you wish to share to /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/Music , or just create a softlink to where you keep it on the array

 

Idk how this would get added to 'community apps', but if someone wants to let me know how that's done..

Awesome! But when I try to add a container it doesn't give me an option for a "Template URL" .  Any suggestions?

  • 5 months later...

Hey all,

 

After a break and after several attempts to get @realies soulseek container working, I'm gonna give it another go.

Does anyone have a working Docker config they could screenshot for me so that I can make sure I have the right parameters set.

 

TIA,

 

Roy

@realies I used your XML as a guide and recreated my own (attached). As before I am not getting the WebUI option from the drop menu.

Every other app I have installed (Deluge, Krusader, etc), I am able to access the noVNC interface.

Really unsure as ti why this happens every time I try this...

 

image.png.dffed372086f871d4abf5bb0e9bafd35.png

my-Soulseek.xml

@realies OK, I can reach the noVNC interface by going straight to :6080. I've just been accustomed to right-click->WebUI...

 

The container works, but if I try and add an additional path for my media, then the container refuses to start.

 

Is there a "right way" to map a media path?

@realies so I'm almost there. The container spins up and I can VNC in.

 

The issue is if I deviate from your XML to add a path for my Media which is separate from my downloads.

 

Name: Media
Container Path: /data/Media, or /Media

Host Path: /mnt/user/Media

Default Value: /mnt/user/Media

Access Mode: Read Only, Read Only - Shared or Read Only - Slave

 

Adding an additional path prevents noVNC from connecting. The container shows as "up", but I cannot connect. I even tried re-ordering things so that the noVNC port was last, but that made no difference either.

 

As you can see below, the container spins up, but the extra Path prevents me from doing anything with it!

 

docker run
  -d
  --name='Soulseek'
  --net='bridge'
  -e TZ="Europe/London"
  -e HOST_OS="Unraid"
  -e HOST_HOSTNAME="Tower"
  -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="Soulseek"

  --restart unless-stopped 'realies/soulseek'
49ac84f5dc97007424e41f9975cd3df82d8f5a2ebf94fa250aee8538def1e165

The command finished successfully!

 

Any ideas?

 

Roy

So after further investigation, there is already a folder called /media in the Soulseek docker. I renamed my folder path in the docker config and now it loads fine.

 

However, all my downloads keep aborting immediately and I can't browse other users.

 

@xthursdayx did you resolve this issue?
