Hi Everyone,
I have been a long time MinimServer user (since version .50 I believe), and would like to first give Simon a tremendous Thank You for such a wonderful application. I began using MinimServer when I developed an interest in streaming audio, and have been "hooked" ever since. To say it has changed the way I listen to music is an understatement. It is a fundamental component of my music system, and I cannot speak highly enough about Simon's efforts.
What differentiates my system from most others in the forum is that I run MinimServer from a USB flash drive along with an operating system called unRAID. unRAID is a NAS operating system that is flashed on a memory stick and is loaded into memory on boot. As a result, software cannot be "installed" in the traditional sense as it would not be retained upon reboot.
To run applications with the current version of unRAID (v6.X) it is necessary to either (1) utilize Docker containers, or (2) run packages that are installed when the system boots (along with the OS). There is a post in this forum that references using unRAID with a MinimServeer Docker image Found Here. However, in the discussion Simon mentioned that due how a Docker image would have to download and install MinimServer (which isn't supported), this functionality is likely to stop working in the future.
Since I have been using MinimServer for several years, I have been running it differently than most. I place the minimserver folder in the appropriate location of my flash drive (to survive reboots) and make some file location adjustments based on previous versions of MinimServer. I have configured packages for glib2 and jdk to be installed when my server starts. I also have a basic start script taken from earlier versions of MinimServer which is a Java shell command. This has worked seamlessly since I began using MinimServer v.50 several years ago.
However, recently I had to upgrade my server to the current version of unRAID which is now 64bit. As a result I have had to install 64bit versions of glib2 and jdk8, but have run into an issue using the current version of MinimServer. I am a tinkerer by nature, but have not been able to find a resolution to my problem. Out of curiosity I tried using older versions of MinimServer - and have been successful up to v0.8.1 which is what I am now running. However, this version is no longer supported.
When I start my server using MinimServer v0.8.4 (Linux x64) I receive an error message in my MinimServer log file that references "ohNet port 9791 already being in use" (my log file is attached). A crash dump is also created that displays further information (also attached). My server is not configured to bind any services to port 9791, so I am not certain what is causing this error. However, the current version of MinimServer will not start or run. I know that it is not a firewall issue (e.g. MinimServer v0.8.1 runs fine as did 32bit v0.8.4), and I don't believe the configuration of my router would have any influence.
By chance, is there anything in my log files that stands out that anyone in the forum might recognize as a possible cause for my issue?
I know there were a large number of changes since the version I am currently able to use - I'm just not certain what this new problem may be.
I greatly appreciate any assistance and/or suggestions that anyone can provide that may point me in the right direction. Thank you!
