Help with Deployment

[The-Inamati]

Hello,

I am trying to deploy this in TrueNAS Scale but it's been quite a journey and I still didn't get it to work so I'm now begging for your help.

On my system when I run sensors this is part of what I get

When I run the container I get the following error:

The variables I am using in the container are shown in the image. I changed from hwmon6 to hwmon5 because for some reason on the container it starts with hwmon0 and on the system itself it starts with hwmon1.

I'm not sure if I am doing this right or not. I checked the BIOS and the fan is exposed as PWM. It was Auto but I changed it to PWM.

Can you help me please?

Hi The-Inamati,

the error you are getting looks like a permission problem to the used hwmon path.
Read-only file system: /..../hwmon5/pwm1_enable

Either your are missing these in your compose config:

    volumes:
      - /lib/modules:/lib/modules:ro
    privileged: true
    cap_add:
      - SYS_MODULE

Or your bios is somehow blocking manual control of the pwm fans.

I get the same error now, it worked on TrueNAS Scale until I believe the 23.10 update. I'm not sure if it's Docker or TrueNAS, but I'm guessing one of them is now blocking all write access to /sys from Docker images?

I did some testing over just SSH and it seems, as root, I can update the values under /sys that hddfancontrol is trying to touch. So I'm left to assume this is likely some Docker setting now?

If it makes a difference, here is my log, though it looks much the same as the one The-Inamati posted:

Okay, I don’t understand it, but we have a solution.

In the settings for the application in TrueNAS, under the Networking section, enable “Provide access to node network namespace for the workload”.

I have no idea why that works, but after toggling that setting, everything is working perfectly again. @The-Inamati you should try that as well.

Hello,
Thanks for the response but because of this and other weird time consuming issues I switched back to Proxmox and have had no issues since.
