If you can set up new container before deleting old one, the easiest way would be to use export/import location option.

This might probably sound like a noob/dumb question to you, but gotta ask one thing about my nextcloud setup. So I was mostly following SpaceInvaderone's guide on nextcloud reverse proxy setup. I mean mostly, as my setup is missing one step - reverse proxy server. So in my arrangement I have nextcloud linked with ddns service through letsencrypt, but without additional step of reverse proxy that would point back to ddns domain. Everything works smooth as butter both locally and from mobile device. I have 'All checks passed' on internal nextcloud page and 'A+' security rating on scan.nextcloud.com. That being said I was wondering how much 'less secure' my setup is comparing to a full blown setup shown in SIO video? Thanks, and sorry if this was asked before - couldn't find the answer to that in this thread.

if you can still SSH into the AP, try default settings it and then send manual firmware update command. I saw a few post where folks had various adoption issues due to outdated fw on an AP.

I finally built my first unraid rig. Many thanks @testdasi recommending 8700 instead of 9400 CPU. This cpu is absolute beast and i think an overkill for my needs but works absolutely beautiful;) Interesting enough under normal/idle usage (15 dockers, 1 plex direct stream) it drains 40-60 watts - which is quite satisfying;) My full components list: CPU: Intel i7 8700 (used) RAM: 2x8gb 2600 Crucial CL19 Cooler: ARCTIC FREEZER 34 (poor choice for the below MB) Cache disk: 1TB ssd p1 crucial nvme (used) MB: ASUS ROG STRIX H370-I gaming (sold to me as return, so got a great deal on this one alone) Case: Fractal 304 Node (btw, would not go again with that case in future - too small box for comfortable fitting of all the pieces of hw) PSU: be quiet! System Power 9 400W 80+ Bronze Array made of 4x*8TB shucked MyBooks - 3 for data, 1 for parity, plus above cache. Because I wanted to save on some dough of the components where practical, I was able to get the above gear for around $750 US not including hdds and unraid licence of course. Which is quite sweet for the sheer performance I'm getting from it. And come to think that about 2 months ago when I was considering getting my first NAS solution I was living in the world of considering Synology 418play. This is like $550 'toy' comparing to what I have now with not much. Thankfully somewhere along the line I discovered that you can have synology system installed on any bare metal machine using Xpenology, which back then sounded like a solution more suited for my needs where I wouldn't be limited by outdated and performance crippled hardware which you find in consumer grade synology boxes. Then by accident I discovered unraid and I knew from the beginning this is solution for my needs. Started to read more and more about the platform ended up in unraid in vm on my macbook;). Vm was fine for testing all my needs and experiencing pros and cons. Spaceinvaderone's videos were paramount in helping understanding many configuration issues and answering rookie's questions. Got my hardware delivered week ago, now I have finished with transferring all the data from other machines and getting day by day with another docker configuration. So far I have finished plex, unifi and torrent clients. Sonarr/radarr and nextcloud are nrxt in line. Love the unraid experience so far and am glad to join the community;)

Can you passthrough a SATA disk connected to MB through sata-to-usb adapter? what would the above command look like then? cheers

So I have port 8080 used by other docker and had to change default when setting unifi docker. I have changed ports in docker as follows: and then I have forwarded the following ports in edgerouter: I have highlighted change from 8080 to 7070, as this is essentially the only change from default ports I have made. Can someone check if the above is correct? if the above is correct then the next stop would be to ssh to an AP and send inform command as such: set-inform http://my.public.ip:7070/inform Right? I need ports open to outside as I have a couple of friends' APs which I manage on my controller and want to set it right before I start to move them to the container. Thanks EDIT: it worked perfectly with exactly the settings as above, first I exported sites and imported into new docker container. The local aps moved at the same time as a part of this process. Then I was lucky as on the remote sites I had also team viewer connection, I shhd into one of the ap and sent new set-inform command - withing a second it was adopting on the docker controller. I could send the inform command straight from the old controller but wans't sure if the above configuration is valid so wanted to be extra cautious and take one at a time. Anyway, all worked fine. At the end of the process I deleted all sites and removed them from unifi cloud account. Running since then on docker without any issues.

Just to confirm but you still need active plex pass subscription for the hw to work in a first place, right?

They are both 65W TDP. Where are you getting the 5W difference from? And never mind the 5W, 6 threads vs 12 threads... doesn't it substantially increase power draw in standard use for the latter? Win 10 VM will be used sporadically - Plex media server and standard storage is main purpose for the rig.

So after playing in VM environment with unraid for 2 weeks now, I am finally decided unraid is the AIO nas solution for my needs. Primary use will be storage, personal cloud, plex server with 4k hw transcoding, a bunch of dockers (approx 15 of them) and a windows 10 vm. I was not able to find a full ATX case with 4 bays for drives and in desktop orientation, so I need to go with Fractal Design 304 Node. Since this is a mITX case, the MB choice is limited up front. My choice for now is ASUS ROG STRIX H370-I GAMING, it has 6 sata ports and 2 m.2 ports so plenty for my needs. CPU of choice is currently i5 9400 (not F, nor K). It will be hooked up with 16gb of 2666 ram and 1tb nvme drive for cache. Array will consist of 3x8tb drives + 1x8tb for parity drive. I am uncertain whether above mb and cpu are good choice. mITX boards are quite expensive comparing to their ATX equivalent hence the choice is limited for my budget. The above asus seems decent for my needs and is within budget limits. CPU however is the most difficult choice. I don't want to go above 65W TDP as this is going to be 24h running gear. I was considering last year i7 8700 but apparently it is not impressive on power saving in idle so decided to stick with 9400. Your thought and critique on the above are much appreciated;)

Great, thanks for this. I don't get how would daily check on a cache drive for date accessed information 'massively' impair the i/o speeds. As long as there is a script to scan cache drive once a night and create a 'record' of files last access dates before the Mover is launched. Then that could trigger Mover which would move first those files which haven't been accessed for ages. I don't mean constant monitoring of files access dates - agree that could impact the performance. But if the 'file access date check' could be somehow tied with Mover it could achieve exactly what my goal is. Same file yes. But the scenario where 5 different files are accessed from same drive at the same time is a another story. Hence my query about spread of files across all drives. But I get it now, cache is only for writes, not reads. If there is any plugin that would help optimising reading performance by moving files from array back to cache, please let me know. And once again many thanks for help on the above:)

Hello everyone, one of my first posts here. I was almost pushing the Buy button for a new rig designed to be fuelled by xpenology when by chance I discovered unraid and absolutely dropped my jaw how great that system is. I found out about unraid when I was reading a post on a different forum where a user was describing cool configuration he was able to pull out from unraid - mainly for his Plex library. This is pretty much the same usability I want to achieve but don't know how to configure. Unfortunately that topic on that forum was already closed and my PMs to that user are left unanswered. So here's the idea: 1 x nvme disk used for cache 3 x hhd used for single array (disk1, disk2, disk3) + 1 hdd for parity Issue no 1: In accordance with what that user was saying he was able to configure his unraid to achieve this: Say we have a share called "TV" in which there are multiple subfolders with title of "TV Show Title", then obviously these tv show folders would have 'Season' subfolders with multiple Episodes inside. In order to optimise the way files are being read from the array all downloads are primarily downloaded to cache disk first. This is easy - I assume you only set cache drive to Prefer mode for "TV" share. Once the space on cache is full here comes the fun part. From what that user was saying the array is configured to have every other Episode form a single Season to be copied across different disk in array to avoid situation where a popular show is being for example accessed from the same drive by multiple users at the same times, whilst other disks are in idle. So in reality say you have S01E01, S01E02, S01E03, S01E04, S01E05, S01E06, and so on. The idea is to force unraid to copy from cache S01E01 to disk1, S01E02 to disk2, S01E03 to disk3, S01E04 to disk1, S01E05 to disk2, S01E06 to disk3, and so on. In this way each Season is spread evenly on all disks - and not entire Season per a single disk. Can this be achieved? And if so, what setting do I need to change to achieve this for TV share? And yes, I read the 'Split level' description but still don't get how different options actually work. Issue no 2: Cache disk configuration. Again the idea is to keep the files mostly accessed by other members of family in cache - to ease the hdd spinning. In the aforementioned post the user was saying that all movies and tv shows are being downloaded to a cache and then once the cache is filled up to 80% the oldest file is being moved to the array - again each movie to different disk - similarly with TV shows idea above. My approach is a bit different - don't know whether this is even possible. I'd like to be able to set condition of moving file to the array not based on the date of file was created but date when file was last accessed. Why? I have for example movies downloaded 3 months ago which are often accessed and I have a movie 1 month old that nobody ever accessed and would like to send this 'unpopular' file to array first even though it is newer than more 'popular' older file. Again is this even possible? If so how do I set this up? By the way is it possible to limit cache disk utilisation to maximum say 80%? And final question, if I understand correctly cache should work two ways, if a file on the array is frequently used, shouldn't it moved back to cache as well? If so, where can I read more on what determines what is classed as 'frequent' use and if this can be in anyway controlled by user or is it automatically handled by unraid with no steer possible from user. Many thanks for help.

It's my first post here so hello everyone;) I need some help setting up remote access to nextcloud set up on my home server running 6.8.3 version of unraid. Specifically configuring access from an iPhone. It appears locally everything is set up ok. I have access to webui, I can upload and download files. I have followed to an extent spaceinvader guide on setting up remote access. I did not however use reverse proxy and only set up ddns service on duckdns.org. Not that I need it as I have static IP, but domain name just looks nicer than ip address;). Ports 180 and 1443 are forwarded properly on the router. Locally, everything works just fine. Even if I access my network from outside I can easily connect to the service. It's the access from outside, without vpn that I am interested in. I'm not even sure if I am following the right route when configuring the app on the iphone. I click Log in, then I enter the address htpps://XXXXX.duckdns.org and I hit enter. I tried this with port number and without, but no joy either. So your help on this is much appreciated. Thanks System log is here. Letsencrypt log is here, and screenshot from letsencypt config is here.
