    USB Secondary NIC - Best Practices

    in User Customizations

    Posted

    Long story short I've converted a Beelink Sei12 Mini PC into a 8TB all flash (1 NVMe, 1 SATA SSD) array unRAID server. The surrounding setup is a UniFi Dream Router, NetGear NightHawk M6 Pro (AT&T), and BLUETTI EB3A Power Station - all packaged into a neat milk crate so the all setup is ultra portable.

     

    Currently whenever I am home, I plug in a USB NIC to the front USB-C port to allow it to get a local IP on the network which then I can rsync the latest library updates across.

     

    Problem Statement: unRAID gets a little cranky when network adapters are added or removed while Docker is running; frankly the whole thing gets a bit finicky as even if up force the interface online (ifconfig eth1 up), the Web UI won't load.

     

    Presently I've written a bash script that queries the number of current network devices when the system boots, and if it changes, reboot.

     

    Question: Is there a better way? (Below is my script)

      

    #!/bin/bash

if test -f "/tmp/current_nics.log"; then
    current_nic_count=$(ifconfig -a | grep -i eth | grep -i mtu | wc -l)
    previous_nic_count=$(cat /tmp/current_nics.log)
    if [ "$current_nic_count" == "$previous_nic_count" ]; then
        echo "No Change In Network"
    else
        echo "Network Changed; Rebooting"
        /sbin/reboot
    fi
else 
    ifconfig -a | grep -i eth | grep -i mtu | wc -l > /tmp/current_nics.log
    echo "Default Network Count Being Set"
fi

    Me not really into the whole ZFS upgrade, so is there anything else interesting in 6.12?

    Dashboard Updates, AutoTrim for xfs and btrfs, Linux Multi-Gen LRU, Release bz file restructure - all kinds of stuff!

    Thats intereisting, yes. Because the test for a running script is absolutely failsafe. It seems, that something remains running. The started pids are stored within /tmp/appdata.backup.beta/running and extCmd files. I tested it a few hours ago and it brought the desired result. I will test it again, thanks for the input!

     

    I also working on a bsaic migration from the old plugin config.

    It took about 3-5 minutes for it to recognize the backup had stopped. I did edit my post but it fixed itself. Great update to this app also!

    Released an update, please give it another try.

     

    @xaositekSafari should work well now as well ;)

    Confirmed working now!

     

    Found an interesting issue though - I clicked Abort but it appears the gzip stuck in the middle of running so I killed the gzip command at the CLI level. It's now stuck thinking the backup is in running mode; but it isn't as you can see on the screen. 

     

    Edit: it did finally recognize the backup had finished; I just jumped the gun.

    So, you use safari then? Hmm, I cant test that here, maybe my iPhone can shed a light. Let me try.

     

    But I dont see any JS errors which could have prevented the process.

     

    Sorry yes it is Safari Version 16.4 (18615.1.26.11.22) on macOS Ventura 13.3 - omitted an important word, apologies.

    I just installed the beta version - when clicking the "Save" button under "Some Extra Settings" -> "Done?", the "Scheduled Backup Frequency" reverts to "Disabled" (I selected Daily) and also the "Skip?" defaults to "Yes" for each Docker container.

     

    Downloading the logs results in a 19 byte file that says no log found. Able to help any way I can to troubleshoot.

     

    Finally decommissioning the v2.5 version to jump to a beta version that doesn't appear to migrate any data automatically is a bit rough - wish there was an export/import or something.

    NetGear MR6500 and Beelink SEi12/unRAID

    in General Support

    Posted

    I'm building a small mobile network out of an MR6500 and Beelink SEi12 mini PC connected via Ethernet. I'm running unRAID 6.11.5 and TailScale/Plex in Docker; I set the whole thing up on my home network (UniFi Dream Machine SE) and everything works flawlessly.

     

    I plug the unRAID box into the Ethernet port of my MR6500 and it works great UNTIL the Docker containers start and then the box goes offline. I've toggled macvlan/ipvlan and no difference.

     

    MR6500 is on latest firmware and the unRAID box can be stable for HOURS on the Ethernet connection but will drop the moment a Docker container is started.

     

    Anyone else gone down this path? Easier to just toss in a dedicated router and quit fighting Netgear's rather basic interface?

    Where are you find this?

    I can't find a Pre Release/Beta Thread about 6.12.

    As mentioned these aren't really for public consumption, RC builds for the public will come.... soon™️ :D

    did you manage to get docker install working on the beta 13 ? 

     

    All my existing Dockers are functional and update as necessary in beta 13. I did test installing a new Docker and did not have any issues. My Pools are XFS Cache Drive (single disk) and XFS Pool (One Drive + Parity)

    Dang y'all getting twisted when there is nothing here but harmless fun. Let's see if we can get this thread back on the fun side before we lose it all together. 

     

    Who is ready for beta 14?!

     

    As someone who has been on the beta train with 6.12 for awhile now, I haven't had to submit a bug report for anything in beta 13 so things are looking bright!

     

    Just remember guys, while we all know unRAID is a business and we all want to be keyboard warriors, for some people this is the only place they get to relax and have a good time; let's not try to sour the experience for everyone if you personally don't like the content, it's easy enough to just click away or start your own thread for more organized thoughts in a manner structured in your own way.
