  1. Hello, Everything worked great for me in adding this container and setting it up. I am not able to connect via SSH, which perhaps someone can point me in the right direction as to what I'm doing incorrectly. 1) With "unraid" being in the name and not my actual server's hostname, I just added a host name for unraid in /etc/hosts on my client, I now hit the correct IP address 2) With SSH being on a different port, I created a config file ( ~/.ssh/config) formatted like the following: Host unraid port 9022 Now I'm going to 9022 whenever I try to SSH to the unraid hostname, so all looks good, yet I'm still getting the following: $ git push -u origin master ssh: connect to host unraid port 9022: Connection refused fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. The repository has been set up, SSH keys, etc. I must be missing something simple, I'd appreciate any assistance someone could provide. Thanks!
  2. Hello, I've been searching the forums and have had no luck, so I'm hoping someone might know what I'm missing. I have a new UnRaid server with two Intel GigE cards, each connected to a different VLAN. I have them both configured in the Web interface of UnRaid as bridging, br0 and br1 respectively. I have created an Ubuntu VM that I need two network interfaces; one from br0 and one from br1. Using the Ubuntu template br0 is the default and that is fine. My issue is adding br1 to the VM. I edited the VMs .xml and added a 2nd interface similar to br0, duplicating the configuration but changing only the slot number to an unused slot and changing the MAC address for the second NIC, so my configuration looks like this: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:93:57:5f'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </interface> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:93:57:55'/> <source bridge='br1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </interface> The second interface shows up in Ubuntu upon restart, but it remains in a disabled state and I can't assign it an IP address. The second VLAN contains a traffic intensive application that uses this VM and my router cannot handle the throughput, which is why I need the second interface on that VLAN. In frustration I tried passing through the entire NIC, but the IOMMU groupings won't allow that. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thank you very much in advance. Ok, this does work. As soon as I gave the interface an IP it came up. As the GUI didn't give me the option and I'm still coming up to speed on Linux, I didn't realize why it would stay disconnected. Hopefully this post will still help someone else, as I searched for a while and couldn't find the answer here, this Link on an Ubuntu forum showed me the answer, but the only step required was the editing of the .xml file as UnRaid had already taken care of the other steps. Interesting to see how the 2nd bridged interface becomes a drop down in the GUI.
  3. Uh-oh, just read on Phoronix that it appears you should be running Linux Kernel 4.10 for good Ryzen support; if you can't run that then at least 4.9.10, which looks to be just released with UnRaid. Is there a beta with 4.10 or 4.11? (4.11 has support for the Realtec ALC1220 on most of the AM4 boards, including the one I ordered).
  4. Thanks for all the replies, I watched the one video and will look at the others. Does anyone have an answer regarding GPU usage for a VM without pass-through? As I mentioned previously, I think the VMS software is using Opengl for analytics and requires a low end GPU, but it doesn't appear to need bare metal performance. If that is my only option, I'll pick up an RX 460 and pass it through if absolutely necessary, but I'd rather not.
  5. Thanks, my existing Windows 7 server will be running parallel until I get everything moved over and have it running for a while; so I'm happy to be a beta tester of sorts for the software on a new hardware platform From past experience there is usually some problems the first few months a new CPU/chipset comes out (Intel or AMD), with several BIOS updates until everything gets straightened out. The motherboard I went with has 8 SATA ports plus the m.2, so it sounds like I will need 9 licenses to be fully covered. I ordered a Lexar jumpdrive for UnRaid and two reverse breakout cables to connect the SAS backplanes I have to the SATA ports directly rather than a SAS card. I have a SAS9200-8E card, would that be a viable (better) option over the onboard SATA ports?
  6. Thanks for the reply, I worded that poorly. What I should have said was "Since UnRaid runs off a USB and the motherboard has an m.2 slot, I think an m.2 drive would be the perfect place to store the VM and docker containers". I still have a 512G SSD that I would use as a cache drive, unless that would be overkill and I should use the m.2 for cache also?
  7. Hello, I'm going to be replacing my 65 watt 8 core Opteron server with a 65 watt 8 core Ryzen 1700. My current server currently runs Windows 7, and runs a CPU intensive security camera application as well as file serving and media duties (Emby, SageTv). I'd like to dump Windows and see if I can run everything on UnRaid, but I have a couple questions I couldn't find the answers to after scanning the forums for a while. The VMS application I run for my cameras has a Linux version, I'd like to run that on Ubuntu in a VM. Can that application be writing to drives that are not apart of the UnRaid pool (My server holds 8 hot swap drives, can I have two drives outside UnRaid being mapped to the VM as I don't need redundancy for the video footage (plus it might not keep up with the constant writes)? I've read quite a bit about GPU pass through; the VMS application does have some GPU requirements, is it necessary to pass through a video card to the VM just to use some of it's capabilities? I'm not looking for bare metal performance here, I think it leverages it slightly for video analytics. It appears Emby, SageTv and the other apps I run are available as Docker containers, so I should be ok there. The motherboard has an m.2 slot, if UnRaid runs off of USB I thought that would be a good location for the VM and Docker containers. Does it sound like I should be able to do what I've described? Thanks in advance for your time and help.
