  • Zerotier Container not working on LibreELEC 11

    For many years I have used various versions of Docker ZeroTier VPN on Linux CoreELEC and Linux LibreELEC with success. Now Docker ZeroTier VPN works fine on all CoreELEC versions and on old LibreELEC 9 versions, but on armv7 devices with LibreELEC (Nexus) 11 it doesn’t work, I guess there is some kind of incompatibility with this network services implementation version.

    On the contrary, the Docker TailScale VPN service works very well on all CoreELEC and LibreELEC versions that I know of, including LibreELEC (Nexus) 11 for armv7 processors.

    Looking at the ZeroTier service logs inside ‘portainer’ I don’t see anything and this service is permanently restarting.

    Is there an expert here who can figure out what’s going on?

    ZeroTier startup command here https://hub.docker.com/r/zerotier/zerotier:

    docker run --name myzerotier --rm --cap-add NET_ADMIN --device /dev/net/tun zerotier/zerotier:latest <network_id>

  • PlutoTV PVR addon - stops streaming

    I am not an expert, I just know that each PLUTO TV channel sends multiple hls (HTTP Live Streaming) media streams with different qualities and resolutions; these streams are interrupted to play ads, this affects the broadcast timestamps which drive normal players crazy including Kodi plugins and addons. Solving this to add them to tvheadend as normal TV channels has been a major challenge for me, I think I finally got it with this script:

    I guess any programmer will understand my solution, the origin of the problem, and maybe he will be able to give a better solution for HLS streams with ads.

  • tvheadend-autosuspend

    I think that what you want is not necessary, the resource consumption of the tvheadend service when it is not serving streams is very low and when it is serving streams it is also very low (the resource consumption of the main kodi service when it is not doing anything is very higher).

    If you install tvheadend in LibreELEC via docker linuxserver/tvheadend image you will have a nice alpine-linux virtual machine inside the container, and you will be able to install the dependencies of the tvheadend-autosuspend extension without problems. I can't guarantee that this extension will work because I haven't tested it. Doing this when you know docker, portainer, linuxserver services, and little knowledge of linux scripting is very easy, otherwise forget your idea.

    Good luck! ;)

  • Is there an OpenVPN package for Libreelec?

    LibreELEC and CoreELEC have the OpenVPN binary integrated. The way I use this as an OpenVPN client is through the following lines of code in /storage/.config/autostart.sh:

    sleep 20s

    /usr/bin/openvpn --daemon --config /storage/.config/My-OV-DDNS.ovpn

    but I warn you that I do not use username and password in the OpenVPN configuration, only certificates, if this is not your case then you have to continue reading here https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?t=11342

    In addition, LibreELEC includes the sample file /storage/.config/system.d/openvpn.service.sample to do this using a linux service.


    I am not going to talk about the Zomboided VPN Manager addon because I have never used it and I don't know it, I only know that it is used to configure an OpenVPN client.

    Good luck!

  • Wireguard with both eth0 and wlan0 enabled... Seems like Wireguard tunnel goes through wlan0 interface but eth0 is desired

    Quote from seemebreakthis

    you are not setting up Wireguard right within libreelec.

    Excuse me, I use all the tools that LibreELEC allows me and believe me if I tell you that there are many.

    I don't like to create services in /storage/.config/system.d because I have a bad memory and I forget about them, so I put almost everything in /storage/.config/autostart.sh. Although for a programmer (and I am not) it is not orthodox, autostart.sh is the place where I start the services that docker does not start, the network forwarding that the services do not do, the routing that seems necessary to me, the setting running scripts from surveillance camera recordings, or watchdogs that have to watch things. There is an exception to the WireGuard configuration, considering I don't use connman (because it doesn't work for what I need), I do it in wg0.conf, but this is an exception, this doesn't happen with ZeroTier.

    In short, you can create whatever routes you need in autostart.sh or via cron scripts or via services. On the other hand, my router allows me to establish static routes, which is wonderful because it allows any device on the home network that does not have VPN client services to reach anywhere.

    You are very wrong, I am configuring everything right with LibreELEC, according to my preferences, and I manage all the main services via web through portainer or ssh or sftp, in fact, I always have the Kodi service in a stopped state and the HDMI cable disconnected.

  • Wireguard with both eth0 and wlan0 enabled... Seems like Wireguard tunnel goes through wlan0 interface but eth0 is desired

    Quote from seemebreakthis

    If anyone can shed some light on how to configure Wireguard in libreelec to steer the connection to eth0 (when both eth0 and wlan0 are active) I'd appreciate it very much.

    Right now I can think of using a cron job to monitor ip route then adjust accordingly at regular intervals, but I am sure there are better and cleaner ways of doing it.

    Try to assimilate the information given by others. In my wg0.conf configuration it appears "ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 10.10.20.5 dev wg0 metric 6000" because my LE server manages two simultaneous VPN networks and with "metric 6000" I set preferences, if I only have WireGuard I set a route , if I have only ZeroTier I set another route, and if I have both VPN networks I prefer WireGuard. Try to do something similar!

  • Wireguard with both eth0 and wlan0 enabled... Seems like Wireguard tunnel goes through wlan0 interface but eth0 is desired

    You are right, I use PostUp and PostDown in wg0.conf

    but i don't use connman
