April 22, 20188 yr Adding a second dns server to the dchp for the client is allowing it to download data ... its having miss(s) in the log, but doesn't seem to be increasing the size of the file. Will wait til its done downloading and see if theres a change. Update - no activity on disk array from it - and seems like its just bypassed the primary dns and went to secondary Edited April 22, 20188 yr by burningstarIV

The log script has changed. Your logs look perfect btw. So it still looks like a permissions issue. It looks like the cache folder is owned by the user 100. Mine is owned by root. Try the following command to fix this chown -R root:root /mnt/user/steamcache Make sure you remove that second DNS entry on your gaming machine before you test again.
April 25, 20188 yr Author Hi @burningstarIV I just wanted to see if you had made any progress with steamcache? Did you get it working? Let me know if you're still having issues.

April 28, 20188 yr Still no luck .. let it sit around for awhile and finally came up servers unreachable Edited April 28, 20188 yr by burningstarIV

If that's the case then I'm out of ideas. I suggest that we remove all three containers along with the images and delete all app data folders that were created for them. I then recommend you reinstall with EXACTLY the same config as me. I'll post screen grabs below. Hopefully, that will get it working. The only thing you may need to change are the two IP addresses. 192.168.1.41 is the IP of my unRAID server. 192.168.1.51 is the IP I assigned to the cache DNS container. Then you can tweak the config to how you want and you will soon realise if you make any breaking changes. Cache Container: SNI Proxy Cache DNS unRAID UI Ports Windows DNS Settings
May 1, 20188 yr yeah said steam was unreachable. honestly ive been backing up my array and think im just going to erase all and do a fresh install of unraid. I think its something with the permissions b/c im finding some other dockers that aren't installing correctly to the hard drive / working. Then just do a regular install like you were saying and modify as needed checking for changes - thanks for the help
May 20, 20188 yr I'm running into a problem pointing my pc to the steamcachedns using the powershell command. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Resolve-DnsName steamcache.cs.steampowered.com -server 192.168.1.117 Resolve-DnsName : steamcache.cs.steampowered.com : This operation returned because the timeout period expired At line:1 char:1 + Resolve-DnsName steamcache.cs.steampowered.com -server 192.168.1.117 + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : OperationTimeout: (steamcache.cs.steampowered.com:String) [Resolve-DnsName], Win32Except ion + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ERROR_TIMEOUT,Microsoft.DnsClient.Commands.ResolveDnsName I have no clue how to go about fixing it, lol.
May 20, 20188 yr Why u wanna try it via powershell instead of just changing it inside the network adapter? Edit: ah i got it wrong, you try to set that dns in your dns server. No idea about powershell, i use steamcache dns container + pi hole container. Edited May 20, 20188 yr by nuhll

June 15, 20188 yr Author @thatnovaguy@nuhll@burningstarIV@Oxide @ColeBrodine @josywong @Chezro @Lepidopterist @TechDaddy @2fat2fly Hi Everyone As known users of SteamCache, I just wanted to let you know about the new version of steamcache! @mlebjerg managed to combine all three docker images into a single image! This means the setup is much easier. There is no need to change the ports that unRAID uses and there are no conflicts with running VM's. The applications is called SteamCacheBundle and should be up on Community Applications shortly. New install instructions can be found here. I hope you all get on with the new version. The old version will still work, so you don't have to migrate but the setup is so much easier!

Yes, the 3 apps still work and ill still support those already using them but new users should use the new container. Are you able to remove my 3 apps from CA so there are no new users. Thanks

June 15, 20188 yr And the three originals can now only be reinstalled if they've already been installed. New users will only be presented with the bundle. FCP will also let everyone know about this.

June 15, 20188 yr Absolutly amazing. Will change as soon as i encounter any problem. (never change a running system :P)
June 19, 20188 yr I uninstalled the 3 apps and installed the bundle. Steam updates wouldn't connect, just sat there. Other DNS requests worked (I copied over all of my other settings). Previously i was having an issue with steam where it would hit the comcast server for updates, not my cache but this is a different issue. I couldn't tell if it was a permission issue or something in the bundle. I have uninstalled it for now.

June 19, 20188 yr Did they ever fix the issue of steam downloads hitting the comcast cdn servers? Link to the discussion https://github.com/steamcache/steamcache-dns/issues/26

I had it working previously where it would work for blizzard/origin/windows updates, but rarely for steam. I have Comcast and it always bypassed the cache and downloaded from the internet. Seemed like a similar issue.
