[Docker - qBittorent issues]

Problem solved. Thanks to Techo Dad Life´s tutorials and me for reading Synology´s DSM helpguide more careful. The main problem was that i didn´t add the credentials values in the enviorment settings.

 

 

[Docker - qBittorent issues]

 I´m trying to run linuxserver.io-qBittorent1 in Docker, and i can install it and get it to running so far so good. But when it comes to using multiply volumes and "set location" for files that is where i get into troubles with a "Cannot make save path" error/issues as a result. How do i come around that issue? 

 

I´m a total beginner when it comes to Docker (i'm mainly an experience 3rd party package user), so try and explain in a step by step guide if possible.

[Docker -Bridge vs Docker Host]

Thanks that is all i need to know. 

[Docker -Bridge vs Docker Host]

By the definition "safe" i mean nobody from outside my LAN can gain rootacess to any connected devices on my LAN or the Xpenology server, just beacuse i'm lazy and running a Container/app in network Host mode.  

[Docker -Bridge vs Docker Host]

When i try to run a qBittorrent container in Docker with Bridge mode i get no connection. If i then switch to "Use the same network as Docker Host" aka Host i will get a connection. But the question i got are, is it safe or not to run a Container this way or should i create another network to run it on?

[Using SHR]

I wan´t to use the old classic SHR as i already got a couple of harddrives filled with data , but as DS3615xs dont use SHR do i have to activate it on every harddrive that i add to the system? Or just den first one?

[2 Diffrent Controllers, what to change SataPortMap to?]

So i got a AsRock x470 Taichi motherboard with 8x SATA ports in total, 6x AMD and 2x Marvell. I would like to use both controllers, so what should i change SataPortMap to?

[Docker - will it work on Generated Serial?]

Just a simple yes or no answer really. Trying to search for the answers, but i could not find any. 

[SN and MAC address dont change]

Thanks for your advice. I am sure I saved changes to the grub.cfg (synoboot is placed in C/918/). I was able to change SN and MAC in gnu grub menu. My MB is asrock j4105 with one NIC and i am trying to enable hw transcoding. In this case should i use MBs mac address or synology's addresses (918+ have 2 macs)?

 

Thanks for any reply

 

You need to save the changes while the synoboot.img i mounted, otherwise all changes you have done will be lost. In regards of the network you need to use the MAC adress for your Motherboards NIC otherwise network won´t work.

Hi,

I have a problem with SN and mac address. I successfully created bootable USB stick with rufus osfmount (i changed VID, PID, SN, MAC using Notepad++), installed DSM etc. But the system shows default synoboot.img (1.04b) SN and MAC like no changes were made and saved. I use a real synology SN and my own MAC address.

 

Can anyone help me to solve this problem? I am total noob.

 

 

Make sure you save the changes to the grub.cfg file in synoboot.img before dismount, otherwise no changes will be made. In regards of the MAC adress it needs to be for the NIC of the motherboard you are using.

[Is possible to run XPEnology on a NUC?]

If you got yourself a second computer then i would suggest that you download Synology Assistant. it is more reliable then using your web browser and find.synology.com. 

[Controlling fan speed]

That is wholly dependent upon your hardware.  The Synology fan control software interfaces via serial hardware that is not in a regular motherboard.

 

Your motherboard may integrally support a fan profile which responds to internal temp sensors and/or system utilization to control fans.  It also may have a "high/medium/low" setting that is fixed (which would solve your noise problem).  This is probably the simplest solution, and that case, XPEnology has nothing to do with it.

 

There are a number of online examples of more sophisticated, NAS-specific hacks to directly control fan interfaces such as on Supermicro motherboards.  This approach would be dependent upon the fan hardware interface in your specific motherboard.  At one time, I wrote up something that ran as a Linux daemon so that it could monitor drive temperatures and respond to that more aggressively than the hardware profile.  But in the end, there wasn't enough of a measured difference to matter, at least in my climate.

 

Thanks for the answer. I guess i've just to do another test run, but this time with a Ryzen systemet. i do belive my AsRock x470 taichi motherboard should solve the fan speed problem. As the fans can be controlled by either cpu or motherboard.

[Controlling fan speed]

Is there any possible way to regulate the fan speed in Xpenology? Last time i did a test run the cpu fan where blasting at full rpms although it was a PWM fan.
