Am now on 8.2.5. Log here http://ix.io/1i6f

Cannot install pi-hole. Error states

Code

The dependency on os.libreelec.tv version 9.0 could not be satisfied

Where did you get the addon from and what os exactly are you using?

The addon in the repo requires le 7, not 9

libreelec-addon-repo/addon.xml at master · linuxserver/libreelec-addon-repo · GitHub

Thanks I just did that, but even after restarting inside plex when I go and select movies it shows it as empty, is that because it's a smb mapping ?
I double checked in kodi I can see the content of the smb mapping

What do you mean by "restarting inside plex"?

As long as plex starts "after" smb mounts, it should work. I have my shares nfs mounted a similar way.

But if the shares are dismounted or remounted while docker is running, plex won't see the files anymore. The shares have to be mounted first and remain mounted

In the addon settings, you can change the mapping for movie and tv show folders

Then inside the container (ie. Plex) they will be accessed at the mapped locations (ie. /data/movies)

Which build did you use then brendanssound, hugepants or tnds82 releases?

aptalca: If using the docker, will the Plex be able to update easy?

It updates on restart (either restarting the le box or disabling and reenabling the addon)

There is a plex docker addon if you want to try it out: LinuxServer.io docker addons and general docker info

You can install the Linuxserver repo under Libreelec repo, and then under Linuxserver repo you'll see the plex one

Just saw this. Check out the docker faq stickied in the addons section.

The user docker addons run as is nobody (65534 iirc) so the files should be owned by that

Sorry it took me a bit to get my test environment set up again.

I talked to the team members and they let me know that everything resides inside "/sync" inside the container, which is by default mapped to "/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/docker.linuxserver.resilio-sync/sync" on libreelec. But you can change that in the addon settings.

The resilio-sync client runs as user nobody (65534) so all the files in that sync folder should be owned by that.

I set up a fresh resilio-sync addon on my libreelec vm and I can go to add folder (standard), hit "new folder" and create one. All those newly created folders are under "/sync". I didn't have any issues.

The addon creates those folders and changes ownership to user nobody on start.

See the attached screenshots.

Can you describe your environment a bit more? By the way, don't manually edit the settings.xml or the sync.conf. They are all managed by the addon and they'll break it completely.

EDIT: Did you by any chance select a folder on a remote mount as the sync location? If the remote mount didn't allow chowning that location as user nobody, that would be the issue.

I tried the image on an ubuntu host and didn't have permission errors. I'll try it on LE when I get a chance.

I haven't used resilio sync before and I'm getting confused on how one is supposed to set it up.

I'll talk to other team members who use it and will follow up here

I believe docker is broken in master. I suggest sticking to 8.2 for now. Keep in mind that 9.0 is pre-alpha

Quote from beredim

Thanks to both of you.

I have about 1500 torrents that I'll have to migrate if I change clients, so I guess I'll try the docker approach first.

It's just that I haven't really used docker (especially not in LibreELEC) apart from some tutorials here and there in the past. But I feel I'll be able to do it.

Maybe I'll write a post if I get it working.

PS. I've setup dynamic dns through my ISP provided router (It supports some of the free services out there, like noip.com which I've chosen). Do I gain something by switching to a LibreELEC add-on for dynamic dns (like duck dns suggested above) ?

I suggested duckdns as a service, not necessarily the docker for it. Any client should work pretty much the same. Router would be fine.

There is an nginx letsencrypt docker addon in the linuxserver repo.

You forward port 443 to your LE machine, also forward your domain name to your home ip (duckdns works great as a free dynamic dns provider) and let the docker container get the certs. Then you can modify the site config to reverse proxy transmission.

See here for more details: LinuxServer.io docker addons and general docker info

I think it would be ".profile"? Or something like that

Try using an absolute path on LE for "portainer_data"

I just set up a fresh instance on a chromebox running LE 8.2 and after setting up with an sqlite database, I have no issues logging in and using it.

Can you provide more info?

Which LE distribution? X86? Arm?

Are you using the LE box's IP address to access, or a domain name forwarded?

Check the nginx logs under the config folder, both access and error and they might tell you what's wrong.

Quote from Jeroen06

I have an MECOOL M8S Pro+ with bad eMMC memory, and made an stupid mistake to try to upgrade the Android firmware

I already got an refund so it's not a big problem.

I am trying to revive the box, so I can run this LibreELEC build from microSD, but I can't flash an full factory image. Mainly the system partition is problematic, because it has an large size it corrupts easily on my box. So I am trying to flash only the basic partitions to my box to boot LibreELEC.

An amlogic image has several partitions, but I am not sure which ones are needed to succesfully boot LibreELEC from microSD? I think the bootloader + recovery partitions are needed? But maybe also the boot (kernel) partition? Or does the bootloader also check if the system partition is OK?

And also if it boots where does it save the setting that it keeps on auto booting from microSD?

Wait, you got a refund and kept the box? How?

I soft bricked mine, but then was able to revive it with the usb burning tool in something something nand mode (shorting pins on the mobo) and flashed android tv 7.1 on it. It seems to work now, but I worry that it may die any day

Docker and linuxserver? Awesome! Can't wait to try it.

Thanks

Quote from youyoubart

ok, I try to use docker addon.

I install mariaDB docker addon and nexcloud docker add on.

when I configure nextcloud to use mariaDB, I use root as admin and no password.

nexcloud works fine.

My next step will be to use letsencrypt docker addon. But Nexcloud use 443 defaut port and letsencrypt/nginx use the same.

I read tuto (linuxserver.io) that explained to use port 444 for nextcloud and 443 for nginx. Then link nginx to forward 443 to 444, and change nexcloud domain. Can I do the same with docker addon? it is the limit of this basic addon?

Thanks

Sure, if you go to the addon settings for nextcloud, you can change the https port to 444 or anything else there

Portainer vs docker addons would get you the same end result. However, portainer would require quite a bit of manual config, whereas docker addons do most of that automatically.

My rule of thumb is, if there is a docker addon available, use that, if not, then you use portainer
