Thanks, I missed that as was searching for inotify solutions.

Since the upgrade I have noticed Jellyfin docker install is not adding new media files more or less instantly as before.

In the Jellyfin log:

System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (124209) on the number of inotify watches has been reached, or the operating system failed to allocate a required resource. 

I have increased the inotify limits in /etc/sysctl.conf as follows:

fs.inotify.max_queued_events=65536

fs.inotify.max_user_instances=16384

fs.inotify.max_user_watches=3276800

and run

# sysctl -p

To make permanent. Then rebooted.

I verify this has worked with # cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches and get the correct value at the terminal and inside the docker container.

But no apparent change - new files do not appear until library scan and Jellyfin logs give same error message.

Any help appreciated.

Just upgraded to OMV 8 all working fine. Received this error:

/etc/cron.weekly/openmediavault-update-smart-drivedb:

Anything to worry about?

Thanks this sounds good in my use case.

I hHave just setup omv-regen again having learned of its new features making it more like a backup solution, thanks for your work on this project. It is set to run daily at 5 PM. At 4:50 PM I did manual upgrade forgetting I had installed omv-regen. A new Proxmox kernel was installed, it suggested a reboot, but as OMV switches itself off at 00:30 AM and on at 4:00 PM, I did not reboot. At 5 PM omv-regen ran, it detected a reboot was needed and the system rebooted. Is this expected behaviour? There can be pitfalls to system rebooting unattended.

Nice post thanks

Have you looked at:

Runs in Docker gives lots of info on how your UPS is running.

I don't use Plex but Jellyfin under docker and it does transcoding easily with standard docker compose scripts. Same on four systems with Intel CPUs - Pentium Gold, I5, i7, all with Intel iGPUs, running OMV and Ubuntu server. Kernels have not made any difference.

Is Plex running under Docker? If not this may be the answer. If so post compose scripts.

Nice job. I have a similar coal box but it never occurred to me to put a NAS in it.

Worked this out - I used the UUID from the existing cert - obvious really.

Just came across the old thread:

Thread

Auto Update SSL Certificate

How do I automatically update the certificate used by the OMV web interface if I generate the certs via another program?

Is there a certain location I can put them in and it automatically uses those, or is there a shell command I can run to tell it to update itself with the new certs or something, so I can automate it with cron?

I'm trying to find a better way than going into the web interface every 3 months and manually pasting in my newly auto generated certificate whenever it updates.

Not…

Just what I am looking for to update Tailscale certs.

sudo ./update_cert.sh a4b7d297-04d5-4bc7-a249-9d110920e88c cert.pem privkey.pem

Question is how do I find what looks like the UUID for my system?

Home Assistant has an addon that works with Tapo cams (and likely many others) and allows you to download videos and not have to pay the subs to use their cloud storage. Frigate is very heavy on resources unless you have Google Coral or similar hardware which I have not tried. Motion Eye is OK.

Thanks, I have found the metric setting - what value do I give it?

I have bare metal OMV with two NICs , one on board 1 GB and the other USB 2.5 GB. They are numbered 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.4. I need the first for wake on LAN.

The second OMV is a Proxmox VM with 2.5 GB NIC.

How can I ensure rsync backup data goes through the faster NIC on the first OMV?

Have you tried getting a Gmail app password?

Yes I have max backup size set to 0.

I have all my Jellyfin mapped directories set to RO.

Thanks for fixing.

Solved this by using the # SKIP_BACKUP flag but not sure why this is needed when directories are marked RO and this has only recently started to happen?

Been using for ages no change to config. Today noticed backup drive was almost full, I find the Jellyfin backup contains lots of media files from one individual media directory which I don't want in the compose backup - any idea why this has happened?

The directory concerned is marked as ro.

If I comment out the directory the same happens to the next on the list which is also marked as ro.

Try USB dummy HDMI adaptor - it tricks the system into thinking there is a monitor attached. Very cheap not a lot to lose if it doesn't work.

Why not try Tailscalled on bare metal? I do this zero problems on two OMV systems but I don't use it to rysnc.
