Valheim had another major update and I just wanted to say both my valheim servers would not update again for some reason. I had to manually delete everything but the .config and backups folder and restart to get them working again. My other gameserver templates from Ich777 work but for some reason valheim in particular does this. Easy fix now that I know, but I just figured I'd mention it.

You should look into making a template for Stay in Tarkov - "SIT". Self hosted escape from tarkov PvE. It looks like actually recently 1 person finally did make one on April 1st, but I've had great experience using your templates with unraid and would love to see it. When I first looked into this a couple months ago an unraid template did not exist and I had a buddy host one on their Windows Machine. official github for SIT: https://github.com/stayintarkov/StayInTarkov.Client Official instructions for docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/stayintarkov/stayintarkov someone who made one on github SIT Docker: https://github.com/stayintarkov/SIT.Docker

Been running unraid for several years, been using my 5950x CPU for several months now. Fix common issues plugin just notified me of a Machine Check Events detected, and to post on the forums with logs. I think I see the several errors in the logs; is there enough info here for something to explain what the issue was? Notably I think these all occurred during a parity check which is currently 87% complete.

Ah at first I was confused as I have. But then I realized, log out of Connect on the server itself, then log back in. That did it; Thank you Jorge!

I changed my server name months ago; I've done several flash backups since. I have tried looking and searching and I cannot seem to find a way to get this darn name updated...Is this not a thing yet? I've checked the online interface, on the unraid server itself, etc.

I did an additional parity check and its also zero errors again. Not sure exactly why I suddenly saw repeated large parity errors and it then went away. I will say that I never rebooted the server in between those so the only thing that's changed is that I fully shut down and restarted the server and then the parity errors stopped showing up. Anyways, it seems to be in a good spot now. Thanks for the advice. And yes Itimpi, I am running that plugin now. Thanks for making me aware of that!

So interestingly enough, after the 2nd non correcting parity check, no errors. Which is weird because I was consistently getting them from the checks before. Attached the new diag, though. Also I see the history tells you whether it was error correcting or not. I thought I unchecked one previously but apparently I didn't, because this shows the only non error correcting one being the one I just did. So I guess for now I wait and see if the errors resurface. s-cartographer-diagnostics-20240324-1849.zip

I just wanted to say that today I rebooted my unraid server to clear my logs to troubleshoot another issue, and it did not come back up because I had no display connected. The key takeaway here was I didn't take my entire network down while I figured that out because I learned my lesson and have since migrated my OPNsense to dedicated hardware so nothing went down 😎 (and it had no display connected because it was connected to the OPNsense box from when I set that up) And notably after updating and rebooting after getting the Nvidia plugin installed again, my WebGUI does work locally again. Like I said before though the WebGUI was working without the plugin before. I only got the plugin for hardware transcoding for jellyfin/plex. It seems that once I setup the plugin, suddenly taking it away somehow made the local WebGUI stop loading when using my GPU. Maybe there was something else going on, but it is all working now.

ok, thank you. I will start those now. They take a while to complete so it might be a day or two before I can come back with the new diag.

Recently on my last few parity checks I've been getting thousands of parity errors when before I consistently got zero, or 1 or 2. Doing some light research I keep seeing people asking for diagnostics files, specifically after running a parity check without error correction. I've done so, but having trouble seeing someone also explain where to look for the info on what's at error. Could someone help me figure out what is causing parity errors, and really I would like to know if you could point me to where specifically I should be looking to where the errors are occurring? My uneducated guess would be a hardware issue. There are no reported errors on any of my drives though. Attached is diagnostics I ran recently with error correction off. Below is also a history of my parity checks. 3/5 and 3/11 were error correcting, and once I saw it repeat with similar error count I ran 3-18 without error correcting. s-cartographer-diagnostics-20240320-1752.zip

Although I am incredibly thankful to everyone who provided advice and took the time to read my issue and try to help, ultimately your post telling me to setup a second router so I get internet and I can get my Unraid server an IP is what got me on the road to victory. I was convinced the whole server was down, but it was only the local GUI. Getting the second router setup and editing my network.cfg allowed me to get access back to the WebGUI and begin to setup my server after restoring my flashdrive on a new one. I did say $20 to anyone who leads me to the solution or tells me the solution, I think because your comment is what got me to the WebGUI, this is you. I am a man of my word so please private message me something like paypal or venmo and I will happily buy you a couple cups of coffee.

Yes, thank you very much for the help on the plugins. At first they wouldn't work because the internet source was the VM which came up after the plugins load. I was able to use my secondary router I used earlier to get to the web GUI and do initial config and get the server working again to edit my network.cfg to get it on the right IP address to match the secondary router's network, boot up, get my plugins loaded, then I shut down the machine, edited the network.cfg back to my OPNsense IP scheme, and switched my internet back to my OPNsense VM. Everything is 100% working now, with new CPU and RAM installed. One thing that was weird was my Plex and Jellfin containers removed themselves but the data was still there. I had appdata backups though and it was pretty easy to restore those. I still have not yet verified that the local GUI loads now that I have the Nvidia driver driver plugin loaded. The important lesson learned here is that the unraid machine being the router too is obviously the major thing that made troubleshooting such a pain. What started the issue was my USB dying in middle of the hardware upgrade, and the fact my network went down because of that just made it worse. I am definitely working on setting up a second machine and migrating OPNsense to that so this never happens again. I appreciate everyones help and advice on this. I was SO relieved to get the server back up.

Do you know of a good way to restore my plugins? The folders are there, but unraid seems to not like it and lists errors for them all. And notably before I ever installed the nvidia driver plugin, the GUI worked just fine through my 1060. I only ever got the plugin once I wanted to do GPU transcoding with Plex/Emby.

No motherboard change, only CPU and RAM. Im going to post a better explanation later, im tried and have to work again now that I have internet. Long story short: my server is back and running. The only exception currently is that although my USB plugins folder has all my plugins, in unraid it shows zero installed plugins. The local GUI is still not working, but with zero plugins the nvidia driver one is not installed. I'm going to have to dig into that later unless in the meantime someone has a solution or answer to that. The server is running with the new CPU but old RAM. now that the flashdrive is working later today im also going to put back in the new RAM.

More to come regarding this, this seemed to be the key (I think you're gonna get the $20 bounty) Initially no, I had nothing else to hook up to the ISP modem so I had no internet or wifi. I had to do everything and troubleshooting from my phones data or hotspot data which was terribly slow. I do now have unraid connected to a router thats getting internet. I actually have two ISPs. one I had essentially in a dormant setup as I was going to disconnect that service as unraid and OPNsense run my new provider which is fiber. I hooked back up my old ISP's router so I have wifi and internet.
