Careful with the Kernel since there is filesystem corruption on 4+

[thefirstofthe300 291]

Apparently 4.0.4 has a fix for the filesystem corruption. At least in Arch. You may want to double check.

Apparently 4.0.4 has a fix for the filesystem corruption. At least in Arch. You may want to double check.

 

Probably Arch has included the patch in it's latest kernel. However, the current 4.0.4 of the official Linux kernel does not include the fix.

Apparently it is an EXT4 RAID issue, so as long as you don't use RAID you should be fine.

But still, I think it will be patched in the next stable 4.0.5, so an upgrade is advisable.

UPDATE:  Stay tuned.  I deleted all of the logs, ran the newperms script on the Emby config directory and restarted the container.  So far so good.  I wil continue to watch and report back if the unhandled errors reappear.

 

HH,

 

I am using your Emby Server Docker template (v3.0.5621.4) on unRAID.  Here is my template contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The server appears to be running normally, however, I just took a look at the logfile and notice that it was constantly filling.  I was curious so I looked in \\unraid\cache\docker\embyserver\logs and there are nearly 68,000 log files dated between 30MAY2015 and 01JUN2015.  Most are named unhandled_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.txt (I have attached one of them).

 

I have also attached the last 3 server-xxxxxx.txt log files.

 

All of the "unhandled" log files pretty much have the same content:

One or more errors occurred.

Please don't use the restart button when run emby in a docker container. It will cause a lot of issues.

Crud...that is exactly what was doing it.  Thanks HH!

[MartinAyla 1]

How does Emby compare performance wise between running the server on:

* Windows (native)

* OS X (Mono)

* Linux (Mono)

* Linux (Docker)

 

What should I use to get the best performance (quick scans, transcoding etc.)?

[hurricanehrndz 149]

I have never used the windows version, so I can't say. All I know is that using the docker version is very responsive and transcoding works well. In terms of scans there are so many variables that have a greater effect other than the platform. My library is bigger than 24TB and my scans take less than 3 minutes.

Hi new here. I have installed emby in docker on my synology  and its running well but there is a big issue. Whenever I restart the server with the synology-gui it resets emby and when it restarts it goes all the way back to the first startup wizzard. I have read the forum a bit and know that I shouldn't be restarting emby from the emby dashboard. But other than that I have no idea.

[hurricanehrndz 149]

First of you need the shutdown button in order to restart. Secondly it sounds like you have one of two problems, one you aren't mapping volumes to make your configuration persistent or two you keep running the docker run command rather than using the docker start command after the initial docker run command.

[FlyGuy94 6]

Well thats the good and the bad thing about synology. I don't need to use any commands cause everything done automatically in DSM. It auto downloaded the latest image. And i can only klik start stop and restart. But in the setting there is a setting to mount shares or folders for emby to use. I needed to add my video's folder so emby can find my media but what do I need to mount to keep my config persistent?

[hurricanehrndz 149]

A folder called /config perhaps you will need to post or ask one of the synology guys because I have no clue how they incorporate the official image.

In the Syno docker gui stop the container, select it and click edit. On the volume tab you can mount the file systems. This is hidden under the advanced button when you create a container from an image the first time.

[FlyGuy94 6]

Yes thats what I said I can mount my video's folder. But its not showing the filesystem its hidden so I can't find/select the /config folder. I guess I have to try to mount it manually in the commandline.

[hurricanehrndz 149]

It's not going to show any filesystem from the docker container. You need to create a folder or share on your system and then mount it as "/config" very similar to how you did your videos folder. At least I am assuming. 

[FlyGuy94 6]

Yeah I deleted everything and redid all from the commandline. Its working perfectly now and its picked up in the GUI so I can stop/start it from there. Thanks guys. One more question I read about auto updating emby in docker. Is it implemented yet or do I have to do it manually still?

[hurricanehrndz 149]

It is implemented, you need to create the container with the appropriate environment variable. Please look at the appropriate thread. Only for docker.

Hi All

I have the docker version of emby installed on a unRAID server. Each time I reboot the unRAID server and then go into emby it starts at the wizard.

I lose all my existing configs. I have reinstalled the docker 3 times so far and each time same.

I have even restored the backup config files and it still runs the wizard.

Any ideas or should I just use a linux VM distro?

Thanks

Michael

[hurricanehrndz 149]

Your not using the volumes. Please see the docker page for run command example.

Sorry, I am not sure where to look for the docker page.

 

My settings are

Volume                         Host

/config                          /opt/appdata/emby/
/mnt                             /mnt
/mediabrowser1           /mnt/disk1/MediaBrowser/
/mediabrowser2           /mnt/disk2/MediaBrowser/

[hurricanehrndz 149]

Can you please post the run command?

[2webbed 0]

I am using the webui to install. So I do not know the run command. Sorry, very new to unRAID.

[hurricanehrndz 149]

Oh you are using unraid. Well I'm guessing /op/appdata/emby is memory directory for you. You need to change that value, make it point to cache only directory. 

[2webbed 0]

OK. That worked. Now it stays after reboots.

 

Thanks so much.

Edited June 16, 2015 by 2webbed

[hurricanehrndz 149]

OK. That worked. Now it stays after reboots.

 

However, now I get a new error

Error: NameResolutionFailure

when running schedule commands to check app and plugins updates.

Also, when on plugins page it shows no plugins. The server can ping emby.media but apparently emby docker cannot.

Had this error before but a re-install fixed it. But not now. Some network error but no idea how to verify that in emby.

That is an unraid bug, please check the forums of lime-tech. There was a bug introduce in one of the rc versions.
