  1. I have been running unraid for a few years, but due to a move I put my server in storage over the past year or so. I finally started it back up again, and redid everything from scratch with the latest version of unraid. Everything went well until I tried creating a virtual machine. I started with an Ubuntu VM and had some issues getting it working, things would just take forever or time out (force quit/wait). I installed a Windows VM and also noticed that applications I normally use would just hang for about 3 seconds randomly. Trying to open a menu, clicking through in a dialog, etc and it would freeze. I worked with some users on Discord and verified everything was setup correctly. Everything necessary was on my nvme drive (cache): system, domain, appdata, virtual machines, etc. I stopped all dockers by disabling docker and still vms struggled. I installed plugins to monitor temp of the system and it was always fine (the machine sits in a humidity controlled garage at 50 deg f year round). I finally ran a full memtest and it passed and i ran it again and it passed again. So I decided as a test to install proxmox. Finally created a vm and... no issues. The thing runs smooth as heck. So I don't think this is my hardware. I'd stick with proxmox cept it doesn't have docker support and running unraid in a vm to run docker without array support seems just silly. Right now I am exploring using portainer to run podman containers in an LXC and using proxmox directly to run vms but i'd rather get unraid to work. Any ideas or help appreciated.
  2. Looks like something changed and this is no longer working. When I try to authenticate I get this You're using an old version of Dropbox. Please download the latest version at www.dropbox.com/downloading
  3. @Anticast I wish I knew what you did to get even janeczku image to work. No docker images work for me. Every single one of them I get authenticated, but then it throws an error of [ALERT]: Dropbox needs to rename your existing folder or file named Dropbox to finish installing. Please close any open documents and try again. I mounted /dbox in the container to /mnt/disk1/dbox rather than the /dbox/Dropbox folder. By doing this, it creates the Dropbox folder, but then updates the client, and hits the same error. I finally fixed that by deleting /mnt/disk1/dbox/Dropbox right as the udpate begins. It sucessfully starts dropboxd, loads the plugins, and then... dies. No errors, nothing. Checking for latest Dropbox version...

  4. ARCH actually has a mode while installing that it can copy to memory. Ive had to use this before when installing on a system that only had 1 usb port and had to swap in a usb keyboard. So I just downloaded the latest ARCH, rebooted, and copied into memory. I verified mount points, and then just to be sure, I pulled the stick out. Ran `top` and checked - it is using 298MB of memory, while connected to wireless. Like I said though, I would be totally OK with a few more MB for having that wireless capability. Those who don't need it, there is no need to have the kernel load it.
  5. Neither does the ARCH install media, I run it fine from a USB drive, and it supports every wireless card I throw it on. Just for kicks ill boot arch install media and check the total memory usage, but I doubt it is high at all considering I have put arch on laptops from 2005 with no issues. If that is even a concern, then BriT's idea that unraid should only be run on machines with petabytes of storage arrays would make the additional small amount of memory any concern if we are only talking server class machines. EDIT: if the feature is not used, as in there is no config, it is VERY simple in any linux based system to compile it as a module and either 'modprobe' it as needed, or 'modprobe -r' it to remove it when not needed, thus not taking any additional memory for the 99% of users who don't need it. And to @BRiT there are other scenarios than a storage server for unraid. The primary one being the separation of the host os from the operational day to day use of the machine (qemu/kvm). Being able to do whatever I want in my Windows machine with almost full hardware capabilities, and then deciding I hate Windows and switching to Arch, without affecting my 10 docker containers that handle backups, pihole, plex, etc.. or doing something stupid in Windows and hosing the OS knowing that I can switch to a backed up version of that same VM or even just the spare backup I keep sitting there on disk. Also, yes, my laptop does have 3 drives, 32GB of memory, an Intel iGPU + NVIDIA 3070ti and 14 cores (20 threads) which far outrivals most 'server' machines you think unraid is made for.
  6. @BRiT That is not a solution, it takes away any and all flexibility to move around in an RV which is essential when living in a tight space. There are many valid reasons and scenarios in 2022 (even back in 2018) where WiFi not only is the option, but is also a good option. Also, my laptop doesn't even have an ethernet port. And most if not all USB ports are already taken. It's fine. I am not looking for a solution other than to support WiFi. I can throw an 800MB arch iso onto a USB drive which has support for most if not all wireless drivers out of the gate, and it is as simple as `iwctl --passphrase=password station wlan0 connect apname` and I am up and running. There seems to be no logical reason to not have this support other than just because.
  7. Well this turned me off of unRaid. I live in an RV and travel in it. There is no option for having a cable since the network equipment is in some cabinet high above the drivers seat. I have a laptop that rivals a lot of server class machines, and I want to actually use it. At the same time I want to setup containers to run backup software, plex, etc.. so that my whole family can benefit from it. I also want to switch 'seamlessly' between linux for personal and windows for work. Since wifi is not an option, ill have to pass. Would love to see it supported.
  8. Just wanted to say that as a workaround I had a spare raspberry pi 2 that I setup next to my unRaid server. I have my mouse plugged into it and it is working great, across a wired network. Would love to see support where usb devices could automatically be connected to usbip in unRaid, and a driver in the guest that would allow you to dynamically connect to these usb devices. seems to work around the iommu issues nicely.
  9. I consistently have issues with USB devices not working, even with PCIe passthrough. Additionally I want to be able to plug in a USB device and use it on another machine. USBIP has been built into the Linux kernel since 3.17. However the modules/drivers/utilities do not seem to be available in unRaid. I think this would be a huge win with KVM type scenarios especially with so many configurations sharing IOMMU groups that do not allow you to pass things like USB soundcards through. According to reports of people who have used this, performance is fine for most USB devices including sound cards.

  10. Awesome, thanks for putting this together. I installed it and got it working immediately. I connected to the OpenVPN Server Network that my unRaid is on. I was then able to ping the IP of my unRaid server, and SSH to it! My next goal is to remote desktop into a virtual machine on my network. I am unable to do so. I am able to do it when I am locally on my network. Do I need to do something in OpenVPN to allow access to a machine other than the VPN server, or to allow specific ports to be used?
