  1. Hi, not sure if you still have this issue, it seems that you set your Plex Media Server to /Transcode and yet the docker refers to /transcode. For Linux based OS, capital is different than lower case.
  2. I just want to report back that I solved my own issue. The problem is I couldn't enable dark theme using the Alternate Web UI setting since I upgraded to 4.5.XXX. Not sure if this is a change on Qbit part. The error I had was "Unacceptable file type, only regular file is allowed". After checking on a few forums, I came across posting that the docker may not have access to folder. Since I have added many paths already to the two docker setups, I decided to just duplicate the theme inside the appdata folder. Specifically since my docker /config path already pointed to /appdata/binhex-qbittorrentvpn, I just copied the theme inside that folder. Then I set my alternate Web UI to the following: /config/WebUI/theme (the theme files are inside /WebUI/theme). In case anyone coming across the same issue, that's the solution. It is possible I don't have to dupe the folders by adding yet another path which both dockers can access, but less headache means more to me. Also not sure why this wasn't an issue in the previous release, I've been running this theme folder setup for 18 months until recent upgrade.
  3. Alternative WebUI issue I have two qbit dockers running fine until I noticed my Unraid OS is 18 months old since last update (6.9.3). I know I shouldn't be updating unless there is issue, as issues usually show up right after upgrade. This time is really painful. My USB is corrupted thus I lost some of the dockers config and had to re-do the settings. Anywhoo, one of qbit docker is still getting error. The issue is every time I turned on Alternative Web UI to use the dark theme, I'd lost Web UI access with the error "Unacceptable file type, only regular file is allowed.". To be honest the other Qbit docker is running fine with dark theme. What is the problem? Is this Unraid 6.12.3 issue? Every time I tried to enable Alternative WebUI, it gives the error above, what I have to do is to go into qbit config and change that flag to false, save, reboot the qbit docker, and I can then access the Web UI, but otherwise it's a pain. Adding that this is Unraid 6.12.3 and Binhex-QbitVPN 4.5.4. Thanks.
  4. I found out that the issue is because I restored from an older version of the USB Flash where the Dockers were not setup, hence it's missing from the Flash. It was still working though, just no Edit. I had to download the app and re-do the Docker setup, which is where the pain is, since I can't see what is in the setting. The USB has been overwritten when I restore from the backup. Yes the real issue is my USB is at the breaking point, the update from 6.9.3 broke its back, so to speak. I had to shutdown the server and repair the USB through Windows. I'll also make sure to have frequent updates of the USB otherwise it's a real pain to type in manual config.
  5. I ran into another issue. I had to turn VM back on, Unraid correctly show me all my VM setups. But upon restarting the VM it gave me "unsupported configuratio: Emulator '/usr/local/sbin/qemu' does not support machine type 'pc-i440fx-7.1'". All I had to do was edit the VM and click update, and then the VM restarts without an issue. It's like the config is there but because an older version or Unraid upgrade happened, it forgot where the setting is and it had to be reminded.
  6. OK, background story is I had a scare when upgrading from 6.9.3 to what I thought was 6.12.3. After the upgrade to 6.10.3, there seems like a USB issue that prevented Unraid boot up, I had to restore from 9 months USB Backup. It is most likely this USB Backup does not have some of the later Dockers and/or Shares setup. So, Docker tab show 2 instances of the QbittorrentVPN with the correct naming, but the second one has no edit (right below Logs before Remove there should be an Edit option). How do I correct or manually edit all these "changes" that were added to Unraid after this backup was done last year? In this case how do I get edit back? Thanks.
  7. Thanks again JorgeB! Happy ending for what was quite a scare. I was looking for screenshot of the array setup when I came across the USB backup from 9 months ago, suffice to say, it's "recent enough" to get my server back up and running again. Without this, I'd have to restart the array following the above link that JorgeB provided. I noticed my Unraid is now 6.10.3, but I thought I was upgrading to 6.12.3? Maybe that question will be for another topic. Adding to the scare, Unraid website was undergoing maintenance when I was having this issue, so if I were to download another version of the OS, I'd have to wait a couple more hours. What a coincidence! Such is life.
  8. Thanks JorgeB for the link. There's a warning in red that "All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started", how true is this? Assuming I have the arrays in the correct order? What if only one disk is not assigned correctly?
  9. I confirm that I have screenshot of the server arrays including the discs' serial no, so theoretically I can put them in the correct order and boot up. But I have previously set encryption, I have to re-enter a key when the array is brought up, is this going to be an issue? I also have various apps and dockers, will those have to be manually re-done? I felt like I bite more than I can chew, mostly because my previous upgrade has not resulted in something like this that I "forgot" the risk of upgrade.
  10. I have a 4 year old Unraid server with Pro key installed. This morning feeling I need something to do, don't ask me why, I took the initiative to upgrade when I noticed that my Unraid version is about 12-18 months. This is normal as I don't want to upgrade too soon. After the upgrade, it won't boot, something about the USB drive. Stupidly, I then downloaded 6.12.3 on my Windows PC and use the USB creator to put that on the SAME USB flash. Now I managed to boot up to the login screen, but it's asking for changing my boot password and it's asking for my Unraid key, I also noticed while it listed all my drives, but everything has to be put back in the same order. I realized I probably don't have any backup of the settings somewhere, even worse the settings are probably in those drives. What recourse do I have now? I'm afraid to proceed further perhaps risking do damage all the files sitting in unassigned drives. I may have pics of the drives setup and potentially can put them back in the right order. But what can I do? Thanks.
  11. In the QbittorrentVPN container (the container running the VPN): Add the ports removed from the "container to route through VPN". For example I use Flaresolverr and Jackett which use port 8191 and 9117 respectively. So I add under VPN_INPUT_PORTS 8191, 9171 (each removed ports separated by comma). Then I add a configuration (Add another Path, Port, ....) for config type Port, Name FlareSolverr (this is a description, any will do), container port 8191 (this comes from the port that was removed), host port 8192 (the new port that it should be using, I simply use original port+1) and that's it. Add another port for 9172 following the same nomenclature. I think the way it works is, whatever the port from the container to route through VPN it has to go into the container running VPN and then out. So the original port goes into the container running the VPN and out as a new one for it to functions. In my case this is how it's working for my setup for all my containers routing through VPN. Lastly and you probably already know this, open the console on the container to route through VPN and do: curl ifconfig.io, this has to show the same IP address as the container running the VPN, it should be the end point that Qbiittorrent is connecting to. I use PIA, this is the same IP that I'm using as my end point.
  12. Not sure if this is a permanent solve, but using Edge I was able to access the option screen and then white-listed the internal IP range that I was using, and then I no longer get asked for user and password whenever I opened the Unraid server URL:XXXX. At the same time now Brave works and no longer gives me Qbittorrent is not reachable message as well as allows me to access the Option screen.
  13. I found what I've done previously as far as fixing a VPN end point that I preferred, it was in the FAQ Q28/Q29. This is done through setting the Endpoint in user/appdata/binhex-qbittorrentcpn/wireguard/wg0.conf. I still don't know why Brave wouldn't allow me access to the setting screen, only Edge and Firefox does that. Whenever I clicked on Option using Brave browser, it says "Error: n". Thanks.
  14. Hi, this forum in the past has helped me get my first Binhex-QbittorrentVPN container up and running. I've just setup and run the second container using the first's template and changing ports. As far as I can tell with the Linux torrent, it's working and I can see the downloaded file in progress. I had two questions though. 1. Anyone knows why Brave browser had error message "qBittorrent client is not reachable"? It works for the first Qbittorrent container, I had no issue whatsoever using Brave. For the second container/instance, only MS Edge/Firefox browser works though, the issue is only with Brave. Indeed I can't reach the config screen using Brave. 2. I must have followed some documentations somewhere which I couldn't find. I'm using PIA for VPN which I specify in the container setup, but how do I specify which VPN server and port forward or not to connect to? My first container is always using the same VPN server, the second one is always changing upon restart. Thanks.
  15. Hi all, yes this topic came up several times in this forum and on reddit. However I didn't find the answer that I was looking for. I'm using a main share called All, and here are the structures All Movies Hollywood Foreign Classics Multimedia Music Games Files What I'm trying to achieve are: 1. Allowing for hard disk to stop when not used, this has not been possible, perhaps due to 'All' setup below. It looks like what I need to do is remove 'All' and setup each lower folder in its own Shares. However even with this structure, it's not fool-proof as there will be a folder that is larger to fit in a harddisk. I really don't want to micromanage folder size vs which harddisk is it on. Movies Hollywood Foreign Classics Multimedia Music Games 2. With the All folder, I can map this once maybe twice (separate All/Files to a drive 'Y' then All to drive 'Z'. I guess as far as Windows network mapping I need to do many connections to each one of the new folder rather than just 1 or 2. 3. I think I need to do the following that allows me to Unbalance move from All -> Movies to Movies in its own share. Is the following structure possible? Honestly this looks a huge change for the shares as well as Plex. Other than setting up the new Shares and perform Unbalance Move (I may not have enough space to do copy and delete), is there any easier way? All Movies Hollywood Foreign Classics Multimedia Music Games Movies Hollywood Foreign Classics Multimedia Music Games So to sum it, my questions is, is there anyway around Windows network folder mapping and what is the best way to restructure? It sounds like I need to: 1. Setup new Shares and Folders 2. Disable Plex 3. Unbalance Move from old to new 4. Remap Plex to the new Shares and Folders
  16. I've been struggling to get my setup to work since I've gotten Unraid last year, but I've just found a solution indirectly in the forum here so I figure I want to post a note in case there's someone who has the same setup and need to get it to work. I have a set of more than 15 years old Bose 321 speaker systems. With everything moving to smartphones, it's been sitting gathering dust until 2 years ago when I found that Bose created the SoundTouch wireless adapter to allow these speaker systems to be "Wifi"-capable. These adapters are now only available from ebay, but I was able to get it to work with my old NAS, streaming music from the NAS to the "player", i.e. SoundTouch adapter and the android app that controls it. When I switched to Unraid, I was never able to get this setup to work, I've tried several media players, I'm currently using Plex for Videos, but it's not showing up on the SoundTouch. Until today when I came across posting from 2018 about similar setup (I thought?). Several members on this forum suggested to the poster to use mini DLNA. So then I tried installing Binhex MiniDLNA and was able to get the NAS (Unraid) recognized by SoundTouch, added the music folder (both in MiniDLNA and the SoundTouch app NAS source) and then was able to control and stream my music collection using the SoundTouch app and playing through the 321 speakers. Thank you and hopefully this post may help someone else.
  17. Hi John_M, thanks for answering my questions. I'm attaching Smart reports from 2 different HDDs purchased around the same time. One of the drives is where I got that FAIL report, the other seems to be ok even though they were put to production at the same time. I guess on the failed one, Raw Read Error Rate is very high indicating FAIL NOW is the issue, also the Program_Fail_Cnt_Total is quite high. Not sure how important these numbers are. I agree with your assessment about using failed parachute, luckily one of the drives still survives, so I'm going to put this to use as backup drives and trashed the other one. I've been collecting high density magnet out of trashed HDDs.

  18. Seeing this is a Preclear thread, I'm going to post my question here about SMART health assessment. I have a couple of pretty old 2 TB WDEF20RX RED NAS. These have been pretty reliable from my old QNAP NAS, possibly close to 10 years old. They have been lightly used in the Unraid server, those shares don't get use much. Now I'm repurposing these drives as external BU drives using an external USB SATA. I've just done preclear to check disc condition and wipe clear, I know, it doesn't wipe it cleanly, but I plan to encrypt the drives anyway using Unraid encrypted (luks). The reason I've done preclear is to make sure they are still ok to use. However I've been getting the following message. S.M.A.R.T.: ATTRIBUTE INITIAL NOW STATUS S.M.A.R.T.: Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0 0 - S.M.A.R.T.: Power_On_Hours 44631 44649 Up 18 S.M.A.R.T.: Temperature_Celsius 32 35 Up 3 S.M.A.R.T.: Reallocated_Event_Count 0 0 - S.M.A.R.T.: Current_Pending_Sector 0 0 - S.M.A.R.T.: Offline_Uncorrectable 0 0 - S.M.A.R.T.: UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0 0 - S.M.A.R.T.: SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: FAILED! If the message is overall-health self-assessment test result FAILED, how safe is it to use these drives as Back-up drives? I have other backups, these are the third back ups following the 3-2-1 rule. Preclear log attached. Thanks. Phil preclear_disk_012345678900000001A_17247.txt
  19. Not really wanting to resurrect old post, however I do want to comment that office tape works and I want to second that however it's not long lasting. This afternoon I added 3 more HDDs to my Unraid, because of the short power cable (it's the 1 head to 4 splitter), I had to re-arrange one of the existing HD. After the new drives are in place, when I boot up Unraid, I lost my parity drive. That was the existing drive that I had to re-arrange, all the new drives show up however. OK, I switched the cable position, because it's all twisted, no dice. Disconnect the sata on one of the 3 new drives and use that on the parity drive. No dice. What is so different about this drive? Why is it the only one is not recognized? It is a white label WD 14 TB. Then I just remember last year when it was put to operation, I didn't want to get kapton tape only for the single purpose of taping pin 3. Also I really don't want to wait another 2-3 days from amazon. It wasn't available from HD or Lowe's otherwise I'd have gotten it. So I tried using 3M office clear tape. Guess what, it worked! As the OP said, it leaves no residue. Guess what else? Due to the shoveling of the drives around due to the shorter cabling, I assumed the tape because it's so thin, might have scraped off, thus leaving the drive not running. Anywhoo, after I realized what had happened, I reach out for ..... 3M office tape, put another strip on pin 3. It booted with parity drive. Now as I'm typing this, pre-clear is running on those 3 new drives.
  20. Before anyone asks, the reason I'm using rclone above, I'm already using that for backing up to cloud, so it's easier to just use the same tool.
  21. I've been reading the topics here, paying particular attention to the following thread. Correct way to move files between shares? - General Support - Unraid I'm using cron job and rclone to schedule backups to an external USB drive. This combination has been working beautifully. But I've only used it for a particular folder that doesn't span disk, so with the external at /mnt/disks/externalX, the source is at /mnt/diskX/folderX, I'm not running into issues copying user shares to disks and vice versa. The current command I use is (I know I'm missing the delete back up folder there as part of the command, will be adding it soon) rclone sync -v /mnt/diskX/FolderX /mnt/disks/externalX/FolderX Now I'm about to add backing up folders that span multiple disks, how should I do this? The easiest way I can think of is rclone sync -v /mnt/user/FolderY /mnt/disks/externalX/FolderY Am I running into issues especially once I added the delete back up folder command (the one that moves deleted files and folder into a separate folder) since I'm mixing user shares and disks here? Unfortunately the external drive is at /mnt/disks/. Folks that have more experience with Unraid/Linux can help, please? Thanks folks.

  23. ++ Yes I'm using the 804 as well. This case has really good air flow and with the dampener on the hard disks, it is not making any noise at all. I put it by my feet under my desk, the laptop cooler fan on my desk is noisier than the machine. I used arctic fans that come in a box of 5, 2 140mm on top, 4 120 mm in the front and 2 in the back. Running Prime95 for 30 minutes, CPU temp barely reaches 58C and tops out at 72C with ambient temp of 24C. Unigine Heaven also runs at around 72C. I installed Windows first and then Unraid then VM in the Unraid using the same Windows install. Windows is for the purpose of benchmarking and what if worst case scenario. Also in the case of BIOS upgrade, I did this from the Windows. I only upgraded the BIOS to 2.30 not the newest, although I just checked today there is a v2.80 out now that addressed the AGESA issue which impact IOMMU. You need a graphics card as Ryzen doesn't have graphics capability, this becomes a problem in my install since I did Windows first, you can't tell what happens then. There's a youtube video from Space Invader One on extracting the graphics card BIOS. You need to use GPU-Z to save to a file then edit the file using hex editor to remove the header, exactly where is what the youtube video explains. Regarding noise, I suppose with all the extra fans I throw at it, it's not making any noise at all, see my description above. I also used a Corsair RM series power supply that only runs the fan if it gets to certain point, otherwise the fan is not running. Since the power supply fan is immediately next to a case opening, I think it would make more noticeable noise compare to chipset fan, if that's what you worried about.
  24. Just want to post an update to this. Not sure what happens, but 1 core of the CPU is pegged at 100% even after stopping all dockers, VMs and checked that no processes was running. I ended up rebooting the machine and when I tried copying again, now the speed of copying is consistently between 60-70 Mb/s, I guess I'm still not getting gigabit networking speed but much better than before.
