OpenRGB as ram controller

[Praxis]

Hey,

 

First post here on the forums. Very happy with Unraid so far and have managed to set up in a week or two my tidy NAS/Docker/Gaming/VPN dream unit.

Seeing as there is a dearth of knowledge for RGB lighting support, I thought I'd see if anyone has thoughts on how easy it might be to run the OpenRGB program. It seems like a sensible effort to bring together the many individual repo's for RGB support outside of the usual vendor offering. In paricular, they support ADATA Spectrix ram which I'm using.

My thoughts are it would be best run in the Unraid slackware itself, but I have been reading that is a bit of a no no, and can lead to problems.

 

Alternatively, could this work inside a linux VM perhaps? Obviously there is the usual IOMMU affair to deal with. Sadly on my MSI B450 Mortar Titanium nothing screams out to me as an RGB controller.

Have posted my IOMMU groups below incase anyone has a information. I have managed to pass through all the groups for my GTX 1660 card I'm thinking I could pass through the ones required for my ram modules. Could it be the SMBus, group 12?

 

Thanks

I don't know if you progressed this, but a search on the forums looks like no one else did - though an internet search seems to show some interest. As I couldn't find a newer post on the subject i ressed this one (sorry mods!)

 

The project you speak of is quite active and to answer your question I think docker is more likely to work. I can see you (or someone with a similar name) started one here:  https://hub.docker.com/r/garypraxis/openrgb-docker probably with the same conclusion but I think it links to an older forked git. I'll have to remember how to create docker setups again or ask a friend I think

 

Colour me interested.

This one is now available in community apps it wraps openRGB mentioned above, just got it running on my server, So far I've got Mobo and AIO control, still working on getting the ram and graphics rgb control

In My case I just want to turn off all the rgb, I install the docker and it wont start..
