UnVent - Ventrilo Server on unRAID

[PhatalOne]

Hey guys,

 

I just finished configuring Ventrilo Server to work with unRAID.  If anyone is interested, I'll put together a how-to covering what I did and including all of the scripts I modified to make it work.  The only thing I need to update is where unRAID puts the .log and .pid files since right now they are being written to the flash drive.

I was wondering if this would work, now I'm waiting on your next post on how to do it .  One more service I can roll from one of my old machines to my under-utilized unraid box .

Looks like another good application to add to the URaid Server..

 

I look forward to your steps on loading it on the UnRaid..

Hey guys,

 

Sorry it took me so long to post instructions. Work has kept me pretty busy and prevented me from writing everything up before now.

 

Here are the links to the original files used:

 

Linux Ventrilo client: http://www.ventrilo.com/dlprod.php?id=102

3rd Party Linux Ventrilo script: http://ventrilo.com/dlprod.php?id=301

 

You can also download my preconfigured files from here:

http://digital-brilliance.net/ventsrv.zip (the preconfigured files are for Linux v3.0.3)

 

If you download the preconfigured files, extract the zipped ventsrv folder to the packages folder on your flash drive.

 

Your vent path should look like: /boot/packages/ventsrv .   

(If your are setting the flash drive up in Windows it would look something like: D:\packages\ventsrv or \\TOWER\flash\packages\ventsrv )

 

Now, edit your go script in the config folder on the flash drive and add the following code to the end:

 

# START Ventrilo Server
# For Ventrilo server v3.x

# Path to ventrilo startup script
VENSCRIPT=/boot/packages/ventsrv/ventrilo

$VENSCRIPT start 3784

 

This section of code will run a modified version of the original ventrilo script (linked above) that has been placed into the ventsrv folder. My current version of the script writes both the .pid file and the .log file to the flash drive directory for Ventrilo. I haven't worried about changing it because the log size after 2 weeks of running is only 200KB.

 

Finally, to personalize your settings, edit the ventrilo_srv.ini file to your liking. The ventrilo_srv.htm file included explains the various .ini file settings.

 

A note of caution:

If you use the original startup script posted on the Vent website, you will run into issues because, the script as-is, passes the port number to the startup script as the Ventrilo server file and will cause the server to not start.  My modified version of this script is in the ventsrv directory and is named ventrilo.

 

Here is the code for the modified startup script (/ventsrv/ventrilo).

 

#!/bin/sh
#Ventrilo Script v2.1.0_02 written by Crypt Keeper
#Updated for UnRAID 4.x by PhatalOne
#For ventrilo server v2.x

#Replace the values of VENPATH and VENSRV with your ventrilo path and server name.
#Replace the value of VENUSER with the account name that ventrilo runs under.
