Hello, Agent Kith, it's me again.

This time, may I ask for a cron in the webui, so the PC can turn off itself automatically at night?........
As I've edited cron.conf, yet the shutdown command needs root.  Obviously I won't putty.exe every night for this. 
Thank you very much for your concern again! 

May I ask for a "Phase Normal/Invert" function in webui?  And I'll love it even more if it's a on-the-fly button.  Thank you very much for your concern, cheers!  

Hi all,

Just stumbled onto Snakeoil (LOVE the distro name) while looking for media server alternatives and am playing with this now. Although my primary purpose is LMS/Squeezebox my needs are also a little more broad.

I would like to install Plex media server - there are loads of how-to's out there but there appears to be a conflict with the GUI's based on testing with pi-hole (DNS ad blocker). Pihole gives you the option of either installing a web server or using the existing one and both options messed things up but luckily pihole is OK without the GUI so not a deal breaker.. However I found the following after testing.

1. Installed GUI to use existing web server.
http://snakeoil - gives the admin snakeoil console. OK
http://snakeoil/admin - should give the admin to pi-hole but redirects to the snakeoil admin page.

2. I then configured pihole to add web server to run on port 88 
http://snakeoil - gives the admin snakeoil console but missing data - error saying that REST API timed out.
http://snakeoil:88/admin - again redirected to snakeoil admin page

But to confuse things, http://snakeoil:9000 successfully brings up LMS. But I am guessing that LMS GUI does not use REST...

My linux skills are limited (& dangerous!) but am a little unclear how all this works together... is it because both snakeoil and pihole use REST on the same port ?? I guessed that changing the web listening port would also change the REST port but maybe not.
How would I approach installing Plex ? would it also conflict with the snakeoil console ? 
Where are the REST configs stored ??


Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

cheers

I have a NAS running SnakeoilOS 1.1.3 that has three drives configured thusly:


The problem is when I mount the NAS to my mac it only recognizes the 20GB Boot/OS partition, which obviously causes a complaint when I try to drop my Music folder into it. I'm mounting using

"cifs://<NAS_IP_Address>"

which brings up a dialog box asking for a username/password to log in as Registered User, or no user/pw to log in as guest. It auto-fills the username box with a name I'm not using, and no password works. Even the user/pw I specified when installing Snakeoil doesn't work. So I choose "Guest" and proceed.
It next brings up a window asking me to choose "Music" or "Playlists". I choose "Music". It then opens a window showing this:



(Ignore the file "Unknown". That's a Beth Orton album I was using as a test.) No matter what directory I choose it only recognizes 17GB available out of 20. Even though it sees sda5, sdb1, and sdc1, it doesn't see the ~1.5TB of available drive space.

I received this suggestion from you via another user on another forum:

"That is a known issue with how samba calculates disk space. e.g. if the mount is like so:

sda1:/media/music
sdb1:/media/music/disk_1
sdc1:/media/music/disk_2

When you look at the free space of /media/music (and any folders under it, e.g. disk_1 or disk_2). It will be the freespace of sda1 (and not sda1+sdb1+sdc1).
The only workaround is to mount sdb1 as /media/music, copy the files over, then mount sdbc1 as /media/music, and copy the files over. Then when everything is done, re-mount it."

First of all, is there a way to change the mounts/partitions without reinstalling Snakeoil? The Ubiquity software contained in the install is the only way I can see to do it. So I reinstalled Snakeoil with the following configuration:


and tried again. It still only sees the space available under "/" while ignoring the rest. I tried mounting 

"cifs://<NAS_IP_Address>/media/music "

it asks for a password for the same non-existent username as before, I select guest, it thinks for a moment, and then I get an error message, "The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again."



Any ideas?
