It hasn't been merged into OpenZFS yet, it's still a pending item. You can follow along on the status at https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/15022, when it gets merged and into a release of OpenZFS it can be included into UnRAID. Work on the feature had stalled for awhile but was picked back up in June with backing from iXSystems to sponsor the work to get it completed and merged into OpenZFS.

Docker doesn't/won't do this natively because it doesn't run a DHCP client. Registering hostnames in DNS is a function of the DHCP protocol and since the docker containers don't run a DHCP client, it'll never register those things in DNS. The hostname parameter only allows you to specify the hostname of the container itself otherwise it uses the containers randomly assigned ID number as the hostname (it's useful if you have an application that requires a static hostname).

But as I mentioned, not even a manual run appears to be working. It says it completed successfully but there's no backup files generated. I took that diagnostics zip right after attempting a manual run. I suspect that it is actually running at 3am, but just not generating any output of the backup data.

Is there a way to troubleshoot why the backups aren't getting automatically executed? I have the plugin configured to backup everything on Sunday morning at 3am, but nothing appears to be happening during that time. I get no backup files in the defined backup locations or anything. I also tried a manual backup and it says it completed successfully, but still nothing is generated in any of the defined locations (appdata, vm or usbflash).

I built a template xml for mariadb from scratch (but still using the lsio docker image) and CA Common Problems is flagging it for having the template URL not as the author intended (although I'm technically the author of the template and the template URL is pointing to my personal GitHub account). It wants me to set the template URL to the one for the mariadb in the CA applications store. It even shows up as being installed from the CA applications store, which it was not, it was hand built by me and stored in my personal GitHub repo. I suspect I might run into this again as for some of my other dockers, I'm building custom template xml files for dockerMan because the ones in CA keep enforcing configuration directives I don't want/need and have deleted from the docker containers and it winds up breaking them occasionally when the containers are updated. Which also leads me to a question, I understand that defining and using a repo directly defined in the Docker tab is the older way for custom templates, but I don't see a way in CA to define a custom or private repo. Is something like that possible?

They might be basing it on that currently (or at least since the 4.x kernel line) every 5th version is the LTS kernel (4.4, 4.9, 4.14, 4.19, 5.4, 5.9 would be the next in that pattern).

But why use UnRAID for your use case? Why not a standard Ubuntu 20.04 installation on ZFS? You can still use docker for containers and kvm/qemu for VMs just like UnRAID, just without the pretty UI. Having worked with ZFS extensively (I was a Solaris admin when ZFS was first introduced), I see the desire for it, but it really seems counter to what the core use case of UnRAID currently is as a general purpose NAS for media storage that permits mismatched disk sizes with a form of parity protection.
-
Keep in mind that using KVM/QEMU on UnRAID still relies on using OpenCore or Clover (the predecessor of OpenCore) as the boot loader to attract the hardware for macOS so the same restrictions on Apple updates and such apply on KVM/QEMU that would apply on bare metal.

Attempting to open items that open a pop-up window (Logs, Docker Console, VM Console, etc) force a re-authentication into the UI in order to proceed. Upon re-authentication it dumps me back at the main UI screen (within the little pop-up window) and I have to re-navigate to the item I wanted to open in the first place. Client side is macOS Catalina 10.15.6 under Safari scarif-diagnostics-20200804-0955.zip

Is anyone seeing an issue with the preclear plugin were it repeatedly puts the preclear icons on the footer of the page? Whenever I run a preclear on a drive, it just keeps adding the icons at the bottom of the footer over and over.

I just created a new service file timemachine.service with the following, <?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name> <service> <type>_adisk._tcp</type> <txt-record>sys=waMa=0,adVF=0x100</txt-record> <txt-record>dk0=adVN=macos_backups,adVF=0x82</txt-record> </service> </service-group> Replacing "macos_backups" with the exact name of your TM share. Works fine, problem is that it's not persistent across reboots, etc. So I created it as a file and used the go script to copy it to the /etc/avahi directory at every reboot. Haven't had any issues yet.

Did you add the proper configuration to avahi in order to advertise the shares?

[6.8.3] Time Machine Shares not Showing Up on Macs
amiskell commented on amiskell's report in Stable Releases
Tried that, unfortunately nothing. It does work perfectly if I register the share manually in Avahi so I think something is broken in the mDNS auto registration that Samba is using to register the share in Avahi. It might make sense for @limetech to just create the appropriate .service file for Avahi whenever a share is marked as a time machine share instead of relying on Samba to do it. I can create the file manually, but it's destroyed upon reboot. -
I'm fairly new to UnRAID and attempting to setup a time machine share for backing up the various macOS systems in the house. I've followed the guide to configure a new share with all the appropriate settings. However, it's not being detected by any of the macOS machines as an available time machine share. I noticed that UnRAID isn't creating an registering a service entry for the time machine share in mDNS. If I query available mDNS services on the network, I see the ssh and smb services that UnRAID is advertising but not the adisk service for time machine. If I manually register the appropriate avahi configuration the share is immediately detected by all macOS clients. However, it's only temporary until the system is restarted which rebuilds the entire /etc/avahi/services directory and undoes the manual registration. It appears that UnRAID is relying on the functionality of Samba to automatically register services with avahi instead of static creating them and Samba is failing to do so for some reason. Since UnRAID already creates static configuration files based on it's own configuration maybe it would be a better solution to get generate the avahi .service file for time machine shares instead of relying on Samba's auto-registration. unraid-diagnostics-20200409-0643.zip
