Yes I still have the backup that I want and have located it. What do you mean re-load the plugin then? I actually did try and change the location which was fine but when I go back to the tab for restore appdata it still shows that there is nothing to choose from. The Restore button is not greyed out but it states "
This will restore your appdata folder from /mnt/user/backups/undefined to /mnt/user/appdata/"
By reload I just meant to hit F5 on the page just to reload it. If you are absolutely sure you know the original location I would back it up before doing anything further. Double check the pass that you have configured for the plug-in to make sure that it's actually looking at the correct folder and not one above it and then change the path to where you think it should be pointed, hit save and apply and hit F5 to reload the page you should see a new available backup appear. If not, you may want to post a directory listing so that we could take a look at it and see what might be going on. Just the directory for where the backup is.

So I think I did something absolutely stupid. I ran a backup after my cache drive seemed to have been dying it ran fine but I had changed the backup path to something new as to not over write the last one completed back on 1/17. Well now doing so and replacing my cache drive with a new one I noticed that the restore appdata tab shows that there are no backup sets found. Please tell me there is a way to restore from my previously completed backup to this new cache drive.
ThanksHave you located the "old" backup? You should be able to change the backup location to the old location, re-load the plugin and then see your original backup.

Well, found the problem child. (thanks!) Here's hoping Corsair will honor the warranty. And thank god Microcenter keeps track of your purchases since I don't have the receipt!
I have 4 of these installed...

Offfff. Lots of errors. Still running. Does it offer the option to save a log once completed? I'm hoping it is just one stick.

I'm having a strange issue where my dockers/cache go R/O after about a week or two uptime. I have my dockers stored exclusively on cache. My cache drive are 2 Sabrent 2 TB NVME drives setup in a RAID 0 pool. (So, 4tb..) One of them is connected via onboard slot and another is via an addon card. Everything works fine after stopping and starting the array or reboot.
Should I just roll with 1 NVME cache drive or change my cache config to have redundancy? Quick smart tests come back ok. Diags attached. -

Because it was asking for the key, not maintenance mode.
Not to argue or belabor the point- I REALLY appreciate your assistance, but I did enter the key. (twice) Start was not available before and after entering it. I tried re-entering it, nadda. The only option I had to get start enabled was clicking maintenance mode. I'm wondering if there isn't a bug here, something related to replacing a drive on a encrypted system. At the very least, the prompt to enter a new key should be tweaked since I wasn't attempting to do that.
My rebuild of the drive finished early this morning and all went well, so I'm happy. I did notice the /user share went away about 4 hours in. I've seen that before though. /user0 was still there however. -

Maintenance mode option is always there, but you don't need to check it, it's mostly used for file system repair, asking for the new key id kind of confusing, I believe it's normal with Unraid and encrypted drives, but you just need to enter the old key.
That makes sense, but the only way for me to get the array started was to check that. It was greyed out. For some reason the normal start was not available. Just the new key fields and maintenance mode.

-If the emulated disk mounts and contents look correct stop the array
-Re-assign the disk to rebuild and start array to begin.Thank you!!! That did the trick.
This is odd though, I don't think I messed this up initially. When I started the system up after adding the swapped drive all I had was a maintenance mode option to start along with setting the encryption key. (2 fields, one was to confirm)
I did mis-quote the directions- on step 9 it says- "Put a check in the Yes, I'm sure checkbox (next to the information indicating the drive will be rebuilt)," I never received that option which is why I did the new config route after trying maintenance mode. (It didn't say format)
Why did it ask for the encryption key to be set again? I had changed nothing at this point but reset the server/swapped a drive. Was the system decrypted at this point, by just removing a drive? Would it have been corrupted if I had entered a new key? -

What it looks like. I don't have any other suggestions though. I test my server on average about every 6 months with this stuff.
Thanks. I did a fresh backup with and without compression yesterday and was able to extract just fine. Weird.
On the topic of extraction- is it possible to add an option to create tars for each docker vs. one giant one? With stuff like Plex, Radarr and Config folders it can be pretty intensive to work with a backup, esp. if you only need one thing. I know the intended use of this is to automate things, but there are probably more than a few folks who would appreciate the option(s).
Thanks for the work on this plugin btw!! -
I'm a little stuck. I replaced a drive that had been failing randomly but IS/WAS working. Parity valid.
I followed the guide but got stuck on step 9, I never got a checkbox or a prompt to format.
https://wiki.unraid.net/Replacing_a_Data_Drive
My drives have encryption on them and Unraid was asking for me to set a new key? I put the old key in and started in maintenance mode but nothing happened. I stopped the array and created a new config and re-assigned all the drives as they were. (I have 2 parity drives) NOW- I'm not sure what to do as it is warning that the parity will be re-written if I start the array. I obviously don't want that since I need to rebuild the new drive. Can I start with the "parity already valid" option and things will rebuild the new drive? -

The options the plugin uses on a restore is -xvaf
I'm still getting the error below...is my tar backup bad?

@Squid I need to extract ONE backup file for my Unifi controller that would be in the /mnt/cache/unifi folder from a backup created by this plugin. I keep getting an error when running the command below and even without all the extra tags and also just the folder name itself. Are ALL my backups crap or am I missing something? I used one of the backups to restore my dockers that is NOT working for this command and I can't seem to extract that either. What am I missing? Does the plugin use another flag or otherwise know how to pull the data? The file is quite large as it includes my plex, radarr and sonarr info.
tar -xzvf CA_backup.tar.gz --ignore-failed-read --exclude="Plex-Media-Server" --exclude="config" --exclude="binhex-radarr" --exclude="binhex-sonarr"

Thanks for the info here @abhi.ko. Why on earth does Plex NOT list this litterally ANYWHERE in the docker page or Github!??!
Anyway, it should be noted (as you linked!) - Plex has CHANGED it to require 'beta' now, NOT plexpass. So make sure you have repository and version set to that!!!

may ... how did you add the dvb device ? as extra parameter ?
--device=/dev/dvbor as device in the normal add another ... potion in the docker setup ?
For the standard plex docker just as extra parameter. I added my nvidia card as well for testing. Both worked as added.
--device=/dev/dvb/ --runtime=nvidia
For binhex I added both ways, as a variable and extra parameter. Tried both separately and together.

Having an issue with binhex-Plexpass docker seeing DVB card as implemented by @ich777 DVB driver. Official plex docker DOES work. I've tried passing the /dev/dvb value both ways and it doesn't appear when attempting to add in Plex. Anything I can try?
For background and sorry if this is a cross-post. From the DVB thread: -
22 minutes ago, alturismo said:
No, sorry for the confusion. I do not have TVHeadend installed now, I only added that as a troubleshooting step to verify the DVB was showing in docker- then I removed it.
I read previously in the thread that the official Plex docker worked but @binhex Plex docker did not, I can confirm that. I tried the official Plex docker and it is working. I have moved Plex server from a Windows install before so I guess it wouldn't be terrible to do via Docker and a NVME cache drive.
Hardest thing is walking all my family/friends through adding a new server again...that's painful! lol Maybe there is a way to move the files/config without adding a new server name, but my Plex Docker'Fu isn't that good. -
Thanks @ich777 for the work on this!
I'm not getting my WinTV quad to show in binhex Plex docker. Does show in TV headend. I saw this was a issue a few pages back...did anyone sort this out? I've tried passing the /dev/dvb value both ways and it doesn't appear when adding in Plex.
Edit- On official docker for Plex is DOES appear, so I guess it's a docker issue. If there is some magic to make it appear in @binhex version that would be greatly appreciated! If not, I guess I need to switch my entire install over to that. Uuuugh...Please let me know how much beer and/or coffee this will take!

For whomever this might help- my network config was eff'd up in some way. At one point I had a 4 port network card (bond) and later removed it. The entries were still present in /boot/config/network.cfg. It did not seem to cause an issue until today. I did notice on rebooting my server that it would attempt to load the adapters and fail. I never thought much of it...but it must have caused an issue today. Perhaps this was exasperated by me changing the network setting for Docker to macvlan. I understand this has caused issues where the GUI would not load.
Either way- I deleted the network.cfg file after testing & removing the recently updated plugins that may have caused an issue. (I added them back before deleting) This resolved the issue for me. I did set macvlan BACK to ipvlan in GUI safe mode in my troubleshooting prior to the delete. Not sure if that helped our not. I changed that initially to troubleshoot issues with a docker communicating to another docker image.

Looks like a plugin problem, start your system in safe mode.
Yes I have done that and it loads fine. How would I tell which plugin is causing the issue and isolate what the problem might be?

Shutdown your server and take out the flash device. Do a file system check on the flash device on a Windows machine and let it repair any corruption.
No errors found. Here is what my terminal shows on the connected monitor. It is just stuck here.
I have SSH, are there any logs I can grab manually?
-
I saw another post about dockers and macvlan, which I DID just change. I was able to change it back from safe GUI mode and reboot but no dice so far. I'll try the check.

Help please! A bit stuck here.
Earlier today I updated unassigned devices and community apps plugins. I noticed I could load the community apps page earlier and rebooted and now I can't get the GUI to boot without safe mode no plugins. I'm trying to run diagnostics but it is stuck at the process shown in the screen shot. I have SSH and GUI access, but not sure where/what to do now.
*The only other thing in recent days was a rebuild of a array drive. That completed and I ran check on it to bring the files back online for the share. (XFS encrypted setup with 2 cache drives)
Ideas?

I am trying to restore a VM using one the backups. What I don't understand is why do I need to create a new VM?
Per your instructions, I need to create new VM. Why is that necessary?
Can I restore it to the ORIGNAL VM, instead of creating new one?
I think you are looking at this the wrong way. You are not adding a new VM. You are adding it back. The backed up XML will have all your settings and everything else in the VM is in the backed up .img file. There is no other way to restore VMs from this plugin. (That I know of anyway..) Again, clicking 'new' is just giving you a spot to re-add the XML data for restoring.

General question-
Is it absolutely overkill to setup the PROXY in the app in addition to this docker using VPN? I have always followed the guide below to "harden" the app to IP leakage. Is that not a concern with this implementation?

I have never used this to shut down my Win10 VM- but I can tell you that snapshots DO in-fact work. I would adjust that setting to 'yes' and see where it gets you. Maybe try it without compression first so you don't have to deal with that headache.
Edit- also, did you install VirtIO drivers on the VM itself?
