  • Leave Page Dialog

    Is there a possibility to disable the annoying "Leave Page" Javascript Dialog?


    It blocks the closure of the browser which is quite annoying sometimes (cancels system shutdown on client)

  • Timemachine: The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feature

    On my Backup Box which runs since months there is a new problem with one client. Neither the OMV machine (1.19) nor the OS X (10.9.x) client got changed, no major upgrades.


    Sometimes, and only sometimes the TS backup fails with the following error:


    Code
    The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feature



    In the afp logs there are just the usual (dsi_stream) errors (which are a feature of the old netatalk 2.2 afaik):




    Its on Ethernet, so no wifi issues.



    Any ideas?

  • HOWTO: PlexConnect with own IP via LXC

    Btw. there is a bug in the start-stop-daemon / init scripts. If you have running lets say sshd on the host and inside the container you have also sshd running - "service sshd stop" on the host will stop also the sshd inside the container. This is because the pid is not handled by the init scripts and so a host init script kills all instances, even those inside containers (the container instances are also in the host ps list). Bug is known since 2011 (maybe before) and still unfixed ... bummer


    p.s. used sshd just for example, didnt check if the bug affects this service

  • Network / Interfaces Bug

    While playing around with LXC i discovered the following bug in the Network Gui (Tab Interfaces):


    Bridge works fine:



    when i start the first lxc container it still works:


    Code
    vethOdrHYA Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr deleted
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1494 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:191366 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:652809 (637.5 KiB)  TX bytes:20474688 (19.5 MiB)


    but when i start another one:


    Code
    vethY1e0UR Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr deleted
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:1100 (1.0 KiB)  TX bytes:683 (683.0 B)


    i get the following error:


  • Bittorrent Plugin Question (for dev?)

    Nobody? :(


    Getting close. Transmission running under own ip in lxc container. Downloaddirs shared with OMV. Config too.


    Still need to find out how the plugin handles the starting/reloading/stopping of transmission and how it gets the data for the "Torrents" Tab

  • Bittorrent Plugin Question (for dev?)

    Want to try to put transmission inside lxc container for ip seperation & traffic shaping.


    One question:


    How does the Bittorren plugin update the transmission settings? Does it stop transmission, write into the settings.json file and start transmission again? (Imho no).


    Or via Api? If so does it contact transmission via localhost or OMV Ip? Possible to change?


    I have an idea how it could be possible to use transmission in lxc with bittorent plugin. Need to experiment.


    Thanks!

  • HOWTO: PlexConnect with own IP via LXC

    jaja i know ;) im already happy that i did note the steps this night so i could post this. And as you can see, my bad habits to do that stuff as root user ... LOL


    If there will be a howto section here i promise to make it more presentable :)


    Next project will be Transmission inside LXC (for own ip to do better traffic shaping)

  • HOWTO: PlexConnect with own IP via LXC

    PlexConnect & Apple TV need to have ports 80 & 443. Instead of using port redirection i opted to do this via LXC container.


    Heres a HowTo for OMV 1.19+. Please note that im using static DHCP mappings, you have to change the network sections if you want to use manual IP. And its a plain config, so if needed please take care to harden your LXC container (iptables, ssh and so on).


    Word of wisdom: you shouldnt do that like me as root, use sudo instead ;)

    Btw. it was my first experience with LXC, maybe there is room for improvement ;)
