TexasUnraid

I seem to be having general PIA wireguard VPN issues in addition to the prioxy issues above as well. Takes a long time for the qbittorrent to start up and it seems to be during the VPN setup. Then the connection seems really unstable with downloads sometimes not starting at all, others going very slow and other working normally. Once it starts working normally, it seems to stay that way as long as I don't touch anything. Very inconsistent though.

For the last few weeks I have had issues with the privoxy HTTP proxy in qbittorrent. the *arr's can't seem to connect to anything through it most of the time. I tried using the binhex dedicated privoxy container that supported Socks5 proxy and they work fine through that but that is another VPN connection I have running. Does anyone know why the HTTP proxy in qbittorrent stopped working? Or does anyone know how to enable a socks5 proxy in it? I have not changed any settings in months and it was working fine.

Not really the place to ask this but not sure of a better place. Long story short, I need to setup an openvpn connection between 2 locations so that I can share the lan connection between the locations. I need to manage some systems in home 2 from home 1 primarily, so SSH/VNC/IPMI/HTTP access to the LAN in home 2. Being able to send files across via smb would be a big bonus but I could figure out alternate options if needed. Home 1 has PFsense as a router, also my unraid server that runs almost 24/7 (been crashing randomly lately). The hardware in home 2 is an Ausu AC68U with merlin. Not sure what the best method would be, have an openvpn sever on pfsense and the client on AC68U with a bridged connection? What happens if it can't setup that tunnel? I need the internet on both ends to be unaffected regardless. Setup a VM/docker on unraid that connects to home 2 and then manage things through that? I am looking for noob friendly guides to watch/read to learn how to do this. Never messed with openvpn outside of PIA. Anyone know where to look or the keywords to search?

Yeah, this is why I went with the more dedicated docker setup since it was designed for this use case. /tmp works fine for a lot of things but not everything. If it works, great go ahead and use it. If not then swap to the dedicated docker tmp.

Just wanted to report that I got the title and icon changed. Ended up deciding it would be easier to just map the whole /usr/share/novnc/app/ to appdata then edit the files in there so they are persistent. Only issue I ran into is that firefox seems to pull the 192x192 icon image where chrome pulls the 144x144. So that threw me for a loop for a bit. After mapping it and clearing cookies etc it is working great!

Great, that should get me going. I mostly had no idea where to start looking for the files. I will mess around with it later and see what I can come up with. Should be able to get it working with this info. Thanks

Cool, that doesn't sound that bad, was considering coping the container and customizing it internally if there was not an option like this. Currently have 2 containers running but I am liking this setup so thinking about using another one or 2 if these pan out. For my work it makes life a lot easier. Is there a way to use that script to update the icon for the container as well? Where is the icon stored in the container?

I am using your firefox image and it is working good to be able to stay logged into the same site under multiple accounts easily and from multiple machines. I was curious, is it possible to edit the icon/title that it shows in the VNC window? Is it stored someplace I could replace it? Or is there a variable that can be edited? It gets kinda confusing having multiple windows with the same icons next to each other.

I ended up moving everything to a VM on unraid and it has been a lot more stable since then. Although I also can't get a few to re-sync. Almost made it to 1 chia farmed, at this point really thinking about calling it quits once I reach that point. Already killed one SSD due to chia. With all the forks running, I am seeing ~400gb/day of writes ONLY farming. Total profit after 6 months of farming it like $250 with all the forks combined. VS mining on a single 3070 making $150 a month. Chia farming is just not making a lot of sense, all things considered it is hardly paying for the power usage in my case (~500w all combined)

I am embarrassed that I didn't include this in the OP lol. Don't feel too bad, I setup a new docker the other day and forgot to do this as well and took me longer then it should have to figure out the issue.

Was doing some more troubleshooting but since I have no idea how or why this works I am out of my depth. I did find this error in the syslog when clicking on the cpu power button though. nginx: 2021/10/22 13:11:56 [error] 15209#15209: *138612 open() "/usr/local/emhttp/script" failed (2: No such file or directory) while sending to client, client: 192.168.x.xxx, server: xxx, request: "GET /script HTTP/2.0", host: "xxxxxxx.xxxxx", referrer: "https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" I added the XXX's, the IP's and addresses were correct though. It seems to be looking for the script in "/usr/local/emhttp/script" instead of /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/myscript/script.page? No idea where to go from here.

Ok, here is the script.page file: Menu="Tasks:94" Name="CPU Power" Type="xmenu" Tabs="true" Code="e942" and the cpu-power-switch.page file Menu="script" --- <? echo "<h1>Changing CPU Governer</h1><br><br>"; passthru("/bin/bash /boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts/Power\ Governer\ switcher/script"); ?> <script>history.back();</script> I noticed that the 404 error just adds /script to the server address. aka, unraid.local/script Just confused since this all worked yesterday.

While trying to track down a random kernel panic issue I am dealing with, I decided to upgrade to 6.10. After doing this the above script method does not seem to be working anymore? The tab is still there but when I click it I just get a 404 error? I checked and the files are still copied to the same location on array start and the script is unchanged from what was working yesterday? Any ideas why it is not working today after the update? I use this all the time, it is VERY handy. Cuts as much as 150-200w off the power draw when it is not doing anything time sensitive and I can crank it back up when I am working with it directly.

Well, just setup my VM to farm from the machine in the garage over the very subpar wifi just to see how things go. Seems my bandwidth is limited to ~60mbit/s and it keeps that pegged most of the time. Only a few of the GUI's show the proof time but they seem to be hovering in the ~10 seconds range with 475 plots and 32 forks running. Gonna see how it goes as things settle in. Hoping that adding the mesh node closer to the garage will boost bandwidth out there to at least 100mb+. Worst case it is possible to run a cat6 cable out there but a lot more work.

yeah, doing that today myself on my VM. And actually thinking about completely changing how I do this. Thinking about converting the system in the garage into nothing but a NAS and share the plots from it over the network. Then using my VM to do the actual farming and access the plots over the network. It only has like 100mbit wifi in the garage right now but plan to add a mesh node that should improve it. I am finding that with 32 forks running even 32gb of ram is not enough, on my VM machine it is sitting at ~55GB of ram usage with them all running right now. P.S. Have you got Silicoin working? It always locks up on my and never even gets to sync. PPS, what happened to that fork manager program you were working on awhile back? Is that usable now?

I had my server crash the other day and it corrupted several of the databases. Luckily I had the VM on the server to get fresh versions from after little it work overnight. Now I need to go copy all those files over and start up all the fork again.

well, a month later and still farming. Had some real issues with getting corrupted blockchains and having to rebuild. Sometimes downloading from that site works and others it doesn't for some reason. This system is also mining with my old GPU's and it has been crash prone while dialing in the settings. I finally setup a VM on my main server with all the blockchains installed so I can update on there where there is lots of horsepower and then just copy over a fresh version if something goes wrong on the farmer. Not sure how much longer I will farm though, had a few cold nights and could be hard to keep the drives warm enough in the garage. When I was looking up acceptable drive temps years ago I found that too cold of drives was bad, I like to keep them between 30-35c. Getting close to 1xch mined at this point, thinking about getting an even 1 xch and calling it but will see what happens at that point. Have you hit anymore XCH solo?

True, I have done this on containers that I know will break if updated but maybe it is worth it to do most of them.

good to know to skip this update. This is why I wish I could disable the automatic update check. I don't update what works fine lol.

I guess look at the bright side, at least the failed before being put into real use. This is why I decided to go with shucking drives vs used drives, I was just too scared of random drive failures and unraid doesn't handle failures efficiently at all.

Still almost double what I am running. On the plus side with the new SSD things are running much better so far, have most of them running now. Can't get taco and apple to sync but the rest seem to be working. Still syncing a few so not 100% sure. Lucky, Silicoin and wheat are not working at all for me.

That sucks, I had a scare last week with my main server suddenly getting errors on my most important drive. Thankfully I had a backup but I am out of spare drives so it would of still been bad if it had died. Thankfully it seems to of been something besides the drive, I rebooted the system and scanned the drive again and it came back basically clean, 1 error in a mundane file but the rest of the files that had errors before were fine now. So looking like it was a SAS card / backplane / cable issue. Gonna be keeping my backups updated a bit more regularly now though.

Yeah, for decoding hardware should work for your use case. I never really cared about the decoding side of things. Encoding on the other hand it was not uncommon to have to crank the bitrate 2-3x as high to match the CPU encoded files quality at naturally 2-3x the size. I have tried it several times over the years but always decide it is just not worth the time savings. I still say that if the images are largely static, test it on a small file to start with and see what the end result is space wise. I have had OBS videos of game loading screens with just minor movement only take up a few mb of space when the same time of in game footage can be 1-2GB.

Decoding should be better, I mostly noticed issues when encoding. Although odd you have issues with CPU decoding, decoding is not generally very intensive. That said, I would test it on a small section of videos first, depending on the footage you might not save as much space as you would think doing this. If the shot is mostly static H264 encoding is already quite good at optimizing the file size.

Everytime I have tried GPU encoding I have not been happy with the results vs CPU encoding. The quality to size ratio is WAY off with worse quality and larger file sizes. The latest RTX cards are supposed to be better but not sure how much.
