  • Confused with docker behaviour

    Quote from extremeaudio

    Duly noted, thanks.

    One last thing. When the docker starts, if I go to my System Info window, the IP address of the LE box shows as 172.17.0.1

    If I issue docker stop and stop all containers, the IP address is restored to the correct one. And upon restart of docker reverts back to 172.17.0.1. Any way to fix this? When I was manually running docker I think I was able to solve this by appending "--net=host" to the docker start command.

    It's just a visual bug. Kodi retrieves all network interfaces from os and displays the first ip from that list in the gui. When docker is running, there are multiple network interfaces and the first ip happens to be the one for docker's internal virtual interface ip.

    Don't worry, it doesn't actually change kodi's ip address.

    In fact, I have a fire tv running kodi and it shows a weird ip that is not even in my lan ip range, within kodi. But I can connect to it through the fire tv's ip. The one shown in kodi must be some internal virtual lan used by the fire tv.

    These are the display settings of my laptop

    My goal is to record a tutorial of LibreElec. An other solution is to buy a hdmi cloner box or something. But i would realy like it to run in virtualbox. Can I use TeamViewer? Or other remote software?


    Wait, are you still trying it in VirtualBox? Please read through the thread. It's been stated multiple times that it doesn't work in VirtualBox. You need to use vmware

    Thank you for your awesome help!

    Some guidance with portainer please! So I installed it, enter the web UI from my windows PC, create a password, log in. After that in the connection page I have to enter remote connection, right? But here if I enter the IP address of my machine running LE/ portainer docker what happens if the IP address changes after reboots? And after connecting it took me to a dashboard where my running plex container was not listed. Everything was 0. Anything needed to be configured under networks etc? If there is some guide, please do point to it.

    No, you have to select the local option. Even though you are connecting remotely, portainer is running on the same machine docker service is running on, so it needs to connect to the local service.

    Once you do that, all containers and images should show up.

    Just a word of caution, don't use portainer to manage linuxserver addon installed containers, because the addons have their built in start, stop mechanisms through systemd and stopping and starting them through portainer will cause issues.

    You should use portainer to only manage containers you create through portainer itself.

    Glad to hear it worked. Unfortunately Linuxserver does not have a docker image for lms, so no addon for it.

    But I believe there are some images on docker hub made by others. You can install them through portainer

    Is it normal that Plex docker delays to start almost 10 minute every time LibreELEC reboots?

    I have to wait almost 10 mins before I can access Plex media library. In contrast to Portainer docker that starts immediately on boot with LibreELEC.


    Edited: just try to reboot again and now Plex can start immediately. That's weird. :huh:


    When you reboot, it tries to update the docker image first. If there is no update, it starts right away. But if there's an update, it will download and extract it first, and then start the container.

    Plex docker image is fairly large and on wifi download may take longer, and with low powered devices the extraction may add more time.

    Portainer does the same thing too, but its image is tiny so the delay is not noticeable.

  • VirtualBox: failed to start xorg. is your GPU supported?

    Did you use the generic build? That one pretty much requires a real gpu with 3d drivers.

    There is a "virtual" build out there that works with vmware's drivers but I don't believe it works with VirtualBox. And it is for development purposes, not for production because the gui can be pretty sluggish.

    If you want to run LE in a vm for production you need to passthrough a gpu

    I'm trying to get the linuxserver docker addons working but though I can see them as installed and enabled, I can't access the web interface of any of the installed dockers. The output of the commands as suggested by you are at this post

    thread-4062-post-30130.html#pid30130


    What platform are you on and what version of le? Is this the same system you installed Plex docker on through command line? "docker images" should show all the images downloaded. Yours doesn't show any. That is very strange because that's the first thing the addon does and I can't think of why it fails. Maybe out of disk space? Or Internet connection failure?

    After enabling the addons, how long did you wait? Can you do "top" in terminal (after enabling) and see whether it is attempting to download the images?

    Docker works fine on my amlogic S905 box and intel mini pc. Thanks for wonderful works.

    I'm using mainly as Plex server. :)

    But when I tried using PlexKodiConnect with amlogic S905 box, which also serve as Plex media server too, it can load all videos from Plex but just can't play. I don't know if this is a bug using both client and docker server on the same machine, or maybe just my error configuration. But I can play PlexKodiConnect on other Kodi box with no issue.

    Anyway, not really a big deal for me. Because I'm not using that docker server box to play video much.

    You know, I never tried to play on the same device that plex server was running on. I tried it on a chromebox and an rpi3 but tested playing on other clients.

    What exactly is the issue with playback? Is it buffering? Stuttering? Not starting at all?

    A couple of things I can think of are, s905 is an arm processor, not a whole lot of cpu power. You can ssh in check the cpu usage while attempting to play.

    Disk or network io may also be the problem. I'm not sure if plex recognizes that the server and the client are running on the same machine, because docker uses its own virtual lan that is bridged. Maybe plex is trying to transcode, thinking it's a remote server? I'm not sure. Can you see in plexkodiconnect whether it is direct playing or not?

    EDIT: I have an s905 box on order, which should be here next week. I'll certainly try it on there.

  • Install java on Libreelec

    JDownloader is the application


    I have a docker image for that: docker-jdownloader2

    EDIT: Specifically, you can use the following from command line to set up the container and have it autostart:

    docker run -d --name=jd2 -v /storage/downloads/:/downloads -v /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/jdownloader:/config -e TZ=America/New_York -p 8080:8080 aptalca/docker-jdownloader2

    Replace the TZ value with your timezone if different: List of tz database time zones - Wikipedia

    Give it a minute or two, and then go to yourLibreELECIPaddress:8080 from any browser and you should see jd2

    In the settings, you can set the download location to "/downloads", which should be mapped to "/storage/downloads" on LE, which you can also access through samba

  • Libreelec and Lakka dual boot

    How long did you wait? I kind of remember lakka doing some stuff to the usb drive the first time live install was selected (maybe like resize image, etc.)

    Is your usb stick a usb3 drive by any chance? I had a similar issue with a usb3 drive, switching to a usb2 flash fixed it.

    I believe I'm using the 64bit image
