  • Confused with docker behaviour

    Quote from chestionabil

    Hey there,
    Am currently using rpi2 and rpi3 with LEv.7.0.3, installing the linuxserver repo seems to be possible only if downloading the .zip file and then manually installing it.
    So far if trying the update the LibreELEC Add-ons repo it says it's up to date.

    Repo shows up on LE8 alpha and betas but not 7. You're right the zip installs on 7. The reason we limited the repo to 8 is because 7 doesn't have docker support on the aarch64 platform

    I'm on generic.

    Btw I installed the repo and plex by manually downloading the repo zip. Plex shows as installed. But I can't access the web interface. Don't know where to start looking. Same with portainer. Nothing at <my-ip-address>:9000

    Hmm. In command line can you try the following commands and check their output?

    docker ps -a

    docker images

    systemctl status docker.linuxserver.portainer

    The first one should list all containers created and their running status
    The second will list all docker images downloaded (shows if there is a connection issue to docker hub)
    The third should show the status of the systemd file created by the portainer addon and if it failed, why it failed (my guess is that you may be out of space, in which case you can delete some containers with docker rm containername and you can get the container name from the first command above)

  • Confused with docker behaviour

    I don't think you read what I wrote [emoji6]

    You don't need to do anything from command line. Install the addon and the addon will manage each container for you. If you go to the addon's settings, it will let you change the port.

    Go to addons, install from repo, libreelec addons, repositories and install linuxserver repo. Then go to addons, install from repo, linuxserver repo, and install plex. Go to its settings if you want to change anything. Within a few minutes, plex will be running (it has to download the image, extract it and then create the container, which may take a few minutes)

    Make sure you delete any other plex containers that may be running in the background. Portainer will let you do that (install it from the repo, not command line)

  • docker on Amlogic builds


    Thanks for checking. Then kszaq may have to manually add it to his builds

  • docker on Amlogic builds

    aptalca, sorry but I am really starting with docker, and I don't know how to do such thing.

    Gregoir3, it's like virtual mahcines, but lighter .. so, the answer is : pretty much everything ;)


    All you need to do is, in the LE gui, go to addons, install from repo, select the libreelec repo, go to repositories and install the linuxserver repo. After that in addons, go to install from repo, select linuxserver repo and install any addon you like. They all create and manage docker containers that run in the background. Portainer is one of them.

    Once you install portainer, it puts up a webpage at port 9000 so from any computer on your network, you can browse to your LE ip and port 9000 and portainer's gui will let you manage containers very easily.

    Thanks a ton. Will check and revert.

    You can also install docker addons from the linuxserver repo (plex is there). You can find the repo under libreelec addons / repositories.

    One you install, just modify the addon settings and that's it.

    There is also a docker gui manager in that repo called portainer. It lets you manage the containers and images through a web interface

    EDIT: by the way, the issue with your current method of starting plex is that it's creating a new container every time you start it, but it doesn't delete any of the old containers. So you end up with a ton of duplicates taking lots of space. You can use portainer to delete all of those and start fresh. The plex addon in the linuxserver repo manages all of that for you automatically

    great ! thank you very much !!!

    youhou !!!!

    While you're at it, can you try the docker wrapper addons from the linuxserver repo? I didn't get to test them on s905/x devices yet.

    You can find it under libreelec repo / repositories / linuxserver repo. Once you install that, you'll see a bunch of addons that set up docker containers.

    Thanks in advance [emoji1]

  • Plex Media Server on LibreELEC

    Quote from pawnthep


    I think this addon is only for x86, not for arm (pi).

    You can use pi as Plex server with other os, like dietpi.


    Edited: You can install docker on LibreELEC. Then run plex from docker container instead. (See this repo)
    - after first install, wait for 5 minutes (or more maybe) before try to access plex web interface.

    Linuxserver.io repo is now in the libreelec repo. Once you install from there, then you can install the docker addons including plex media server from the linuxserver repo

  • 7.0.2 Getting started on VMWare

    Quote from r4w


    I have tried CTRL+ALT+F3 but unfortunately without luck.
    However, despite the Generic version 7.0.2 or 7.0.3 claims to start X, I can see in dmesg log (got them through Samba) that for some reasons the video card bios ROM is unavailable/unreachable.

    Just for reference:

    It would be ideal, at least for me, to have all the drivers in the virtual release, so that I could try something more :)
    Anyway, I tried!

    In qemu, you can load gpu bios from file by adding the info into the config xml.

    If ctrl alt f3 didn't work, but you know the ip, you can always ssh in. Enable ssh in the libreelec settings addon first.

    If you are passing through a gpu, you need the generic version. The virtual build is for a setup without a physical dedicated gpu, for testing and development purposes.

  • 7.0.2 Getting started on VMWare

    Quote from snailboy1


    a use case for this is what i used to do :

    Esxi Server with 2 cheap ati GPUs.
    create 2 VMs with openelec/libreelec
    passthrough the GPUs.

    so you can use your server to power all your TVs + all your other VM stuff you do as well.

    really, i could never get it to work with openelec so i used kodibuntu. but i suspect this libreelec image will actually work.


    My main htpc is essentially a kvm/qemu vm with an amd 6450 passed through. It ran LE 7.0.2 (generic) for many months and now it is running the latest betas (generic)

  • My country changed it's timezone permanently. (Turkey)

    Quote from AYTEK


    Hi,
    Can you please change the time of Turkey from UCT+2 to UCT+3. System is showing wrong time due to my country's bizarre decision on changing the nations time :)

    Turkey to stay on summer time all year round | World news | The Guardian
    Confusion as Turkey clocks defy time-change delay - BBC News
    Time Zone Updates for Turkey – Microsoft Daylight Saving Time & Time Zone Blog

    Thank you.

    PS: I am using Raspberry2 and Libreelec v7.90.008 8.0 , Kodi 17.0-BETA5


    Turkey is now in the same timezone as the middle east instead of eastern Europe. Yay!

    By the way, the most bizarre part of it is that they didn't change timezones (technically). Instead, they decided to be on daylight savings time all year round.

    But they told people they were getting rid of daylight savings. Confusing as hell and people didn't know what time it was when the change happened. All electronic devices including cell phones were wrong.

  • Sonarr with Docker, it's posible?

    Hi guys,

    Just installed sonarr in docker on an x86 libreelec install on a chromebox.

    Here's the service file contents:

    Save this file on the sd card with the file name sonarr.service in any folder (ie downloads through samba or /storage/downloads through ssh)
    then ssh into le, and type the following:

    Code
    systemctl enable /storage/downloads/sonarr.service


    after that you can either reboot or start it manually with systemctl start sonarr

    in a web browser, navigate to ipaddress:8989 and voila

    on arm like raspberry pi, just change the one line in the service file from "linuxserver/sonarr" to "lsioarmhf/sonarr"

    PS. The first time you run this, it may take a few minutes (especially on the pi) because it will need to download the images from docker and uncompress them before the container runs
