New to Minim. Connot connect on linux, OS x fine

[pvds]

Hi Folks,

I installed MinimServer on a Proxmox virtual machine.
Java reports:

Code:

root@bb-mnmsrv:/usr/local/minim/minimserver/data# java -version
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)

Minimserver behaves like it startups fine,when looking in the minim server.log:

Code:

# cat minimserver.log | more

However, MinimWatch does not see the server, and neither does Linn Kinsky.
As a test I installed the Mac OS X version on my macbook. That runs fine, and is seen by MinimWatch and by Kinsky.

The only slight difference I see between the Mac OS X logfile and the Linux logfile is that OS X shows this extra line:

Code:

Startup complete

Any suggestions to what the cause of this is, and how to solve it, would be highly appreciated!

Found the root cause of this behavior:
The minim server instance runs on a virtual machine in a Proxmox environment. The minim server machine was defined as a VZ container in Proxmox. VZ containers do NOT pass multicast traffic through their venet interfaces. This can be solved by creating a virtual eth0 interface on the host machines bridge. Most of it can be done through the Proxmox web interface.

I am also seeing 'Startup complete' on Mac but not on Linux. I think this is because the Linux launcher uses the --noconsole option and the Mac launcher doesn't use this option. This isn't related to why you aren't seeing the Proxmox MinimServer instance from Kinsky or MinimWatch.

I think the problem is likely to be related to your networking subnet setup and how UPnP multicast discovery messages are routed. You might need to use the MinimServer ohnet.subnet property setting to make this work. Have you been able to run any other UPnP server in a Proxmox virtual machine and access it from Kinsky?

Edit: I just saw your follow-up post. I'm glad to hear you have solved the problem.
