October 23, 20169 yr Hi, i am currently in the process of setting up my first unRaid setup, but i am a bit unsure about the CPU assignement. I wish to run 4 docker images PlexServer NzbGet Couchpotato Sonarr Besides this do i wish run run a windows VM. I have a i5 and 16GB ram in the machine, if i assign all 4 CPU's and RAM to the Windows VM will the docker containers still be able to run? (Will they share with the VM?) Also a second question, do i need 2 graphs cards (when there are no on-board graphics) to be able to run the VM? right now when i start the Windows VM do i the monitor just go blank.

Docker containers will utilize all the cores that are available to unRaid as a whole. (ie: every core unless you specifically disallow unRaid from using them) So the answer is yes. More advanced docker setup: If transcoding via Plex however is very important to you, then I would set nzbget to NOT use all of the available cores, so that while its unpacking and parchecking it will not interfere with Plex's rather high requirements for transcoding. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40937.msg492111#msg492111 and http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40937.msg492112#msg492112

I'm not the VM guy around here, but by default unRaid / docker has access to all of the cores, and then the cores that you select for each VM is shared with unRaid / docker. To stop unRaid from itself having access to cores (ie: set the VMs to have exclusive access to certain cores), you isolate the cores you don't want unRaid to use at boot time. See Here
