User 0 allows the use of "/root/.ssh/known_hosts" file.  If it's still prompting for the password I assume it's opening multiple SSH connections. I think it can be fixed but I'm still looking for it.

I got rid of the password prompts by generating an rsa key in the container (ssh-keygen) and copying it into the host's authorized_keys file

Thank you very much for updating us on this!

 

Can you elaborate on the steps you took? So far I assume:

Console to container CLI and enter:

ssh-keygen

Of course. In container:

ssh-keygen

On host:

docker cp container-name:/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub id_rsa.pub
sudo sh -c "cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

Thanks again for letting the community know exactly how to deal with this issue!

The directory on the host " ~/ " you're saving that key in doesn't persist through Unraid reboots I don't think.  If not, I'm trying to think of a way to make this work indefinitely.

Hi,
I'm just wondering how I can mount an external USB drive to transfer data?

I'm seeing it in the System Devices, just not having any luck in mounting.

Does anyone have any ideas?

For external USB drive mounting I recommend using the Unassigned Devices plugin.

Perfect.

Your incredibly quick thinking and equally timed responses have solved my problem.

Many thanks.

Question on the Virt-Manager docker. When creating a snapshot of a VM inside Virt-Manager, where is the snapshot stored? Is it stored directly in the /mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img file?

In Virt-Manager I don't see a way to modify which logical cores are assigned to a VM (like in the native unraid UI).

 

I see a way to assign a "current allocation" and "maximum allocation" of logical cores, as well as manually setting CPU topology, but nowhere do I see where to actually just set which logical cores are assigned to the VM. Am I missing something? I've seen screenshots of virt-manager that include this functionality.

I believe that's virt-manager running natively on the host instead of in docker

So there's no way to achieve CPU pinning using the virt-manager docker? That's disappointing... I thought the whole idea was that you got /more/ control than the default unraid GUI for VMs.

Hey dee, Wondering is there a notification when recordings converter is finished?

I use Virt-Manager to have more control than the default unraid GUI.  CPU pinning would be the /same/ control as the default unraid GUI.  You can access this control in Unraid using Settings -> CPU pinning.

No unfortunately there's only a log entry made and thats it ☹️

Ideally I'd like to be able to modify for example, how many cores I've assigned to my OSX Virtual Machine, without needing to re-add in all of the custom XML that is needed to make the osx VM run. If I make these changes with the unraid UI, then my understanding is that custom XML would be overwritten.

 

I was hoping that using virt-manager would let me make those edits while preserving the custom XML, but it appears you can't assign individual logical cores to a VM using the virt-manager docker?

From what I can find using virt-manager remotely from docker like this won't give the option for CPU pinning.

What is the difference between binhex krusader vs krusader?

https://forums.unraid.net/topic/71764-support-binhex-krusader/page/18/

 

Hello,

thank you for this nice docker.

I wonder if there is a way to change the path where virt manager stores snapshots or virtual disks

For now snapshots go to /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot and when creating a new vm the virtual disk goes into /var/lib/libvirt. The problem is that these paths are not persistent across a reboot. I'd like to keep all that stuff under /mnt/cache/domains.

You can change the virtual disk location. I don't use snapshots so I'm not sure.

I never really considered adding additional software to it for notifications because it converts every single file after I record it (if it's in the /watch folder and a .ts file).

So this will only process .ts files?  I just stumbled on this and I'm currently using HDHomeRUN.  The device records to the array in .MPG, not .TS

Hi @CoZ

Yes it only does .ts files.  I use a hdhomerun as well but not directly.  I use it with apps like Plex, Emby, etc. and I've only ever seen .ts output container, even from Windows Media Center from back in the day.  To use different file extensions this wouldn't be a good docker.  I recommend giving Unmanic a look.  It allows for the same functionality but also allows you to customize the function and in your case change which extension(s) to automatically convert.  It's available on the CA applications Unraid plugin.

Thanks @dee31797 for clearing that up.  The S.O. can suffer the anguish of having to hit the "skip" button then. LoL
