@Varun Chugh - Hello, the Post you write I did start it ;-) -
But still i have the Problem on Post #18 with this certificate.

yeah, that helped! thanks :) any idea into the no space left issue? See attached screenshot.

I can get the rancherui.img installed and logged in.. I get all the way through the container part. I don't have cifs or nf, just a test container. When i reboot rancherui vm - all my settings are gone and I am back to step 2, setting everything up again. How do I get things to stay after reboot?

I ran into this too. When you set the local admin do not use https at any point. Stay with http and you will get through that part.

I did get past this. Now I am stuck at 'no space left on disk'. But I have GBs of space on the disk. Any idea? Sorry for the trouble. all attached the screenshot.

Did you set your VMs disk size to 20G? I had this error when I didn’t do that. This step is in the official docs/ step 1 of my tutorial

hello yusuf
step 4 add a host - i still got this (the only point which is strange, they ask to add a public IP) but on yusuf's information a Privat IP is written.
any help?

Code:

[rancher@rancher ~]$ sudo docker run -e CATTLE_HOST_LABELS='host4='  --rm --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /var/lib/rancher:/var/lib/rancher rancher/agent:v1.2.7 https://10.147.42.130:8080/v1/scripts/49F7E6AE249F00566EB6:1483142400000:uowA1LfGFxULopYkFMVTlYdEko

I think they're calling it Public because of the other available platforms that you can deploy some cattle. ie:

If you had your Rancher Host on EC2 etc. you would need it's public IP. In our FreeNAS case the Host is not sitting on any cloud instances. Hope that makes sense.

What is the IP of your host?

If you run:

ifconfig

What output do you get?

Might be an authentication issue.

What access control have you got setup?
If you remove access control in the rancherui can you then run the same command?

how to remove this access control ?

i found out my Problem with the certifigate was because of the https and the IP address.

Did you try removing the access control and then adding the host?

 

[vikozo6]

yes i did - and followed your step 2, too

@Yusuf Limalia
Many thanks for this!

I had a go at trying rancher to start off with and initially thought it might be a bit too overly complicated for my needs so set up portainer as my front end.

I've now got everything set up, and all my containers i had on Corral are up and running but i've found a couple of shortfalls in portainer such as setting a container to get its ip address from dhcp, setting static MAC addresses, and a few other things so looks like i'll give rancher another shot and see where i get!

 

[bodriye]

I appreciate the effort but I would set plex net=host to get it working properly

Good shout.

While you can use bridge, PLEX documentation recommends host.
I've updated the tutorial to use host networking.

Just sharing some of the problems I ran into and how I fixed them:

- I had trouble fixing a host, because at every reboot the IP address changed. So for my VM I set up the NIC (device) with a fixed MAC address, this way my router always gave it the same IP. Later, I even asked my router to fix the IP and make it static. Fixing a host was easy after this.

- For getting my shares to work I had some trouble with the character set. Namely, I had changed that to ASCII, instead of UTF-8. Make sure to write ascii (not in capitals) as it won't work otherwise.

Thanks for the guide, it's been a huge help!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing :)

for some reason I need to redo sudo ros config merge -i mount.yaml
every reboot of VM.
And also I also need to restart PLEX container manually from Rancher web. Any Idea why?
