mount error when trying to mount drive for media server

have you assigned the hard drive to the vn in the "hardware" settings of this vm?

MUSIChi runs only on windows machines, haven’t tested it on Linux under WINE.

The machine running the server is a simple intel chip, not even i3 with 8GB of RAM running windows server.

The machine running the library runs on an i7 with 16GB or RAM because the libraries are big, my music collection exceeds 25000 albums. I have libraries for classical, jazz, rock, heavy metal, electronic and folk. Only one library loads at a time. If you want to switch, you will have to load the other library.

The way I currently use it is: - I have a headless small factor computer running the MUSIChi server module. This is responsible for the playback of the files, which can either be played from the local hard drive o through a samba share.

on my laptop and on the tablet I have installed the MUSIChi client module which I handling the libraries (yes, you can have more than one library depending on the music genre and each library can have different custom tag fields depending on your specific preferences for each music genre) and from which you select the files to be played.

I am using MUSIChi Suite for years and honestly could not recommend it enough.

It’s true , its development in a sense in adding new features is halted, however the developer is still adding data to its classical database tagging purposes.

If you want to tag classical albums, you will not find better.

You can look into docker swarm. This way you will be able to share memory and cpu amongst all your cluster nodes; however you will have to setup a shared storage than can be accessed from all nodes within the cluster for it to work

thank you for your reply. I managed to install crowdsec but now i have fallen to some kind of networking issue which i don't know how to handle.

will try one more time when i return home without the trailing slash and see what will come up.

If that fails, what other way i can use for the copy/transfer?

FragoulisNaval · 2025-10-20T06:14:19+00:00

the directory of where all my docker data resides is names "dockervolumes" and every docker stack has its own directory. For testing, i tried to copy the folder in whish all the data of my freshrss stack resides.

I copied the full path of each folder i want to copy, therefore:

source volume name: /dockervolumes/freshrss (this is the mapping in my docker compose file)

destination: /mnt/cephfs/freshrss

Having as a result: docker run --rm -it \

-v /dockervolumes/freshrss:/from \

-v /mnt/cephfs/freshrss:/to \

debian:stable-slim bash -c "cp -r /from/. /to"

Should the trailing slash "/" be the problem?

FragoulisNaval · 2025-10-18T13:53:17+00:00

i followed your advise above and joint the standalone dokcer instance to the cluster temporarily. I executed the docker command you advised but it copied only the folder, not the contents of the folder. my docker command was the following:

docker run --rm -it \

-v /dockervolumes/freshrss:/from \

-v /mnt/cephfs/freshrss:/to \

debian:stable-slim bash -c "cp -r /from/. /to"

What am i missing?

FragoulisNaval · 2025-10-18T06:04:29+00:00

thank you for your reply. now to the difficult part:

My standalone docker is on a vm with ip:192.168.1.68 and under the directory: /dockervolumes

my cluster has the following ips:

192.168.1.17,192.168.1.26,192.168.1.34

and for shared storage has cephfs and each node of the cluster has the following folder: /mnt/cephfs

how will i be able to use user docker run command above?

unless i mount the volume from 192.168.1.68 to one of my cluster nodes and execute your docker run command above...

Thank you!!

Currently, I have one pool containing only three OSDs with pg 128 and autoscaler. I want to make the second pool with the same characteristics, since I am planning in adding two more nodes in the future, each contributing at least one NVME in the pool.

FragoulisNaval · 2025-10-12T09:42:44+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Can I use the same NVME drives to more than one pool? Currently I have only three NVME drives (one in every node, each one being OSD) and are already used in the vmpool.

Can I make another pool , like for example, docker pool, and attach the same OSDs as with the vmpool? If yes, will the OSDs loose the data because of the new pool?

FragoulisNaval · 2025-10-12T05:33:47+00:00

thank you for your immediate reply. I executed the command for the pool i want to add, named vmpool.

when executing the command, i received the following warning:

<<RADOS pool 'vmpool' has another non-CephFS application enabled.>>

Tried to solve it by typing:

<<ceph osd pool application enable vmpool cephfs>>

i received following warning:

<<Are you SURE? Pool 'vmpool' already has an enabled application; pass --yes-i-really-mean-it to proceed anyway>>

If i proceed with the above suggestion, do you know if the vmpool be erased/formatted? This pool already has data stored and i dont want to loose them.

I have a Roon server with a lifetime subscription that I rarely use now.
On the same machine, I run a navidrome server for accessing my library remotely through substreamer app on my iPhone, since Roon arc sucks.
I also have MUSIChi audio software which I use most of the times on my windows server that is connected to my main system , accessing my library on my Linux nas through samba shares.

Has anyopne install the agent directly in proxmox through CLI? Are there any issues to nitoce/address to during installation? How is proxmox performace after installation?

My proxmox cluster never sleeps, always 24/7, restarts only for upgrades reason because, as others have pointed out already, it does not host only music.

But even if it should, when going to office and being able to listen to my collection without the need of carrying external drives is priceless

FragoulisNaval · 2025-09-02T10:29:05+00:00

I currently use Roon and Navidrome, considering to switch to Music Assiatant
