Startup order question

[johnsturgeon]

Two containers:
1 - TrueNAS VM
* Export cifs share "ChannelsDVR"
2 - Channels DVR (lxc)
* Mounts cifs share "ChannelsDVR" -> /media/channels-dvr

How can I get the Channels DVR lxc to *wait* for the TrueNAS app to finish starting up before it starts? Setting startup order just 'starts' them in different order right?

When you set startup order for the LXC, you can also setup a startup Delay (there's a Help button in the dialog box)

If you have another server where ChannelsDVR CIFS share can be running 24/7, I would move it there so you have less of a chicken/egg situation

Not a bad idea, I just threw a delay of 120 seconds which seems to have done the trick.

True, but I don't have that luxury atm
