Virt-Manager, Intel-GPU-Tools and more Dockers

[dee31797 18]

Moving Virt-Manager container info/discussion here in case users are still using/discussing Fanningert's version.

 

Virt-Manager:https://virt-manager.org/

• Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/djaydev/docker-virt-manager
• Github: https://github.com/djaydev/docker-virt-manager
• Template: https://github.com/djaydev/docker-virt-manager/tree/master/UnRaid/template
• ***INSTRUCTIONS HERE***

 

Allows for some KVM management tasks on Unraid and/or another remote KVM server.

Updates include:

Remembers previous connections through updates/restarts

Fix disconnect issue with newer base image

Added VNC connection along side WebGUI

Virt-Manager updated from github to lastest 2.0.0 version

Use the slim tag (djaydev/docker-virt-manager:slim) for a much smaller container. Please switch to the latest tag. Size difference is >10MB now.

 

Intel-GPU-Tools: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools

• Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/djaydev/intel-gpu-tools
• Github: https://github.com/djaydev/docker-intel-gpu-tools
• Template: https://github.com/djaydev/docker-intel-gpu-tools/tree/master/unraid/template

 

Simple terminal application for Intel iGPUs running in docker.  The container starts directly to intel-gpu-top for viewing the load of the iGPU.  The included terminal emulator supports tabs so you can run the other tools for benchmarking, debugging, etc.  I mainly use it to see how much headroom I have left while 4k transcoding and converting recordings with ffmpeg.

 

TransmissionUI-Openvpn-Privoxy: https://hub.docker.com/r/haugene/transmission-openvpn

• Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/djaydev/transmission-openvpn-privoxy
• Github: https://github.com/djaydev/transmission-openvpn-privoxy
• Template: same as haugene/transmission-openvpn

 

Copycat docker container made by Haugene.  This is just a small variant to add Privoxy into his alpine container. Haugene's container is the best, you should use that one.  The ubuntu version he provides has an issue on my server with tinyproxy crashes after a day or two of the container running, and his alpine version doesn't include any proxy at all.  The template is exactly the same as the parent container, but you have to also map the proxy port, default is port 8118.  I like to point jackett, sonarr, and radarr to this container.  Works great with firefox for me as well.

 

Handbrake: https://handbrake.fr/

• Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/djaydev/handbrake
• Github: https://github.com/djaydev/docker-handbrake

 

Handbrake GUI with Web browser and VNC access. Supports NVENC encoding.

 

uGet: https://ugetdm.com/

• Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/djaydev/uget
• Github: https://github.com/djaydev/docker-uget

 

uGet can download videos from YouTube and a variety of different protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalinks.

FAQ:

Q: How do I enable bittorrent downloads?

A: To enable bittorrent support set plug-in matching order to curl + aria2 in settings, click save all settings, then restart the container.  If you're using /config folder this is only necessary the first time.

 

Q: How to change default downloads to /downloads?

A: https://ugetdm.com/2013/01/changing-default-download-location-folder-tutorial/

 

Q: How to use batch downloading for an unlimited amount of files in a batch to the queue for automatic downloading?

A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhRy3Tx3phM

Idea of this interest me however not seeing "new" version in Unraid Applications. Perhaps theirs a install guide/info somewhere and I am missing it? Idea of this intrigues me :-)

Thanks!

Hi Blaine,

Which application are you interested in?  These are 4 separate applications all run under docker.

Hi Blaine,

I’m a idiot; sorry

Virt-Manager is what I was looking at mate; sorry

[dee31797 18]

The easiest way to install Virt-Manager is to use the template file here.  Save it to your flash drive under flash\config\plugins\dockerMan\templates.  From there you can use Unraid's WebGUI docker tab to add a new container, select Virt-Manager in the template drop down.  Set the network port you want to use, appdata folder, etc.

 

You can also build the template manually, 

Unraid's WebGUI docker tab to add a new container

set Name to Virt-Manager

set Repository to djaydev/docker-virt-manager

click Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device for each:

Port 5800:5800 webgui

Port 5900:5900 vnc connection

Path /docker/appdata/virt-manager:/config:rw

Path /dev/urandom:/dev/urandom:ro \

Hi @dee31797, thanks for this I, I got the docker to work ok. However I can't connect to the host. I was using the virt-manager that's still available in community applications that appears to be out of date (2017), I was having issues with the VNC and winded up on this forum page.

 

The problem I'm having is I was connecting via TCP, not SSH, which is how it was how @SpaceInvaderOne showed how to do it in a video. However in this version TCP doesn't appear to be an option and I get the message: "Unable to connect to libvirt qemu+ssh://root@10.100.100.10/system The remote Host Requires a version of netcat/nc which supports the -U option." I've googled around and searched the forum but can't find anything Unraid specific. There's a BSD specific article here but I'm not sure that applies with Unraid. Help appreciated.

Howdy,

Have you already installed NerdPack and used it to activate netcat-openbsd?  If not, you can find NerdPack here:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/unRAID-NerdPack/master/plugin/NerdPack.plg

That's done the trick. Thanks!!!

Hi @dee31797,I haven't run the intel-GPU-tools docker yet, but I was just wondering, if it's terminal based anyway, is there any reason it couldn't be in the nerd pack?

@dgwharrison,

Nerd Pack is maintained by someone else so I can't answer for sure.  My guess is all those apps in NerdPack are single install packages with no dependencies, so intel-gpu-tools may not work in that fashion because it has many dependencies.  Even if it could, the current Slackware version for Intel tools is 1.19 which is too far behind to work with my intel GPU, so I would still need a ubuntu or debian or something to run the updated version.

Ah I see. I'll give your docker a go then. I'm also interested in what's left over while transcoding 4K. Thankyou.

[dgwharrison 1]

@dee31797, have you considered contributing these to community apps?

[dee31797 18]

@dgwharrison, community apps is also maintained by someone else.  Forum + github listing is a bit old fashion nowadays but I'm not knowledge enough to create a plugin such as community apps.

What do you suggest as an alternative?

I believe dgwharrison made the best alternative suggestion.  A plugin like community apps, or software store/center as other linux distros call it is the newer up to date way of finding applications.  Users can search, browser, and then click install done all in one place.  No searching forums or installing/compiling from github.

Not saying forums aren't great for discussion threads or github isn't great for devs/issues etc.

Misunderstood you then.  I thought you were suggesting that CA utilizing published repos on GitHub was not the way to do things.

Oh no, I didn't even know that's how the plugin worked.  dgwharrison asked why not use the community apps so I was just saying I'm using the old fashion way of sharing the docker images with only forums + github.

Hi, since djaydev/docker-virt-manager is not in CA, how do I use the XML template to create my docker using https://github.com/djaydev/docker-virt-manager/tree/master/UnRaid/template?

Never could figure out why you've never wanted it published in CA...

[dee31797 18]

I looked through the plugin's menus for a way to add stuff to it but it seems to be closed off to outside submissions.  The only way I could find to share the container that's publicly accessible to me was with this forum, github, and docker hub.

I was about to add the XML file to my templates, and I noticed some activity on github, that looks like getting ready for adding to CA, if so, I'll just wait?

Thx, I created the docker, added netcat-openbsd, and still get unable to connect to libvirt.

Anything else I'm missing?

 

Btw, I suggest you remove TZ from your template, it is set by Unraid to the system TZ, no need for users to add it.
