Hmm interesting, i wonder why my lscr container with LATEST tag + plex/general/serverupdatesettings=PUBLIC is then using BETA 1.40.0.7775 instead of stable 1.32.8.7639. @Hoopster, what server version are you running with your DOCKER tag enabled? The entire reason i'm asking this is because of some sort of instability being caused in 1.40.7775.

For people who are Plex Pass users, what VERSION setting are you using among the 4 options (DOCKER, LATEST, PUBLIC, specific-version)? I found out I'm on the most recent BETA (1.40.0.7775-456fbaf97) using the LATEST container variable even though my plex -> general -> server update settings set to "public". A plex employee recently commented that my recent server woes may be driven by a BETA issue in 1.40.0.7775-456fbaf97 affecting music libraries (I have ~50k+ of songs). If that is the case, (A) I want to roll back to the latest STABLE release and (B) two figure out if for future reference i stay on BETA or stable/public releases going forward. I do like to get the latest BETA features because Plex is genuinely my favorite thing ever, but i also don't want to run into a future scenario of Plex being able to take down my entire system. One thought i had around (B) was to stay on BETA (once they roll out the fix) but limit Plex's ability to utilize all my CPU/RAM resources presumably causing the crash by limiting CPU to 50% of my available cores and RAM usage to ~25% of my total system RAM. Curious others thoughts around this solution. docker: Let Docker handle the Plex Version, we keep our Dockerhub Endpoint up to date with the latest public builds. This is the same as leaving this setting out of your create command. latest: will update plex to the latest version available that you are entitled to. public: will update plexpass users to the latest public version, useful for plexpass users that don't want to be on the bleeding edge but still want the latest public updates. <specific-version>: will select a specific version (eg 0.9.12.4.1192-9a47d21) of plex to install, note you cannot use this to access plexpass versions if you do not have plexpass.

I would love to get netdata properly setup so i can monitor alerts in future. Right now i have no folder of netdata anywhere i can find to even begin to edit an alert file? What is step #1 to create the netdata appdata folder...is there a package i need to install besides https://hub.docker.com/r/netdata/netdata docker container i have installed? How do i get "netdata cloud" installed and working?

How do you limit Plex's RAM usage? It just crashed again last night. i feel i can safely say it's Plex causing unraid to crash, but now i want to troubleshoot and fix my plex install while i will be remotely away instead of having my server constantly crash. I also pinned the Plex container to only use CPU 4-7 / HT 12-15

I posted in the plex forum to see how to trouble shoot this. I added a ton of different tv shows / movies so it would be very cumbersome to try test each and every one. Any idea of how to troubleshoot finding specifically the one that is throwing the error?

I'd really love to figure out what's happening at Plex that is choking up server, instead of a stop-gap measure. i also noticed some errors with my music not showing properly in the web GUI anymore. Maybe i need to fix the database

So i opened the Plex Media Scanner Matcher log file and it's absolutely filled with this line item at 4:19am Jan 10, 2024 04:19:23.765 [23306795789120] WARN - [FFMPEG] - Unknown encoding

Crashed again at 4:20am. This time i had PuTTY running TOP and it gave me the below last screenshot. So this might be plex related? Any idea how to further troubleshoot this? I have re-followed the macvlan troubleshooting (https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.12.4/#fix-for-macvlan-call-traces)

Dumb question but I'm trying to connect my agent to Netdata, i logged in via GitHub and then it asks me to run the command below, which i tried in the netdata's own console. Nothing happens, it says "sh: 1: sudo: not found". I cannot find any sort of netdata folder in either /etc/ or /mnt/cache/appdata/. Where is this file location that i can use to enable this netdata cloud connection? $ sudo cat /var/lib/netdata/netdata_random_session_id Tip: Run the command and paste here the key it will give you. If the command doesn't work out of the box, locate the /var/lib/netdata/netdata_random_session_id file, open it in your favorite text editor, and copy it to your clipboard. Also separately - what steps do i need to follow to enable alerts for x% memory usage that can be sent to my discord server? I clicked on "Alerts" button up top -> Alerts Configuration -> System Memory Utilization -> clicked the singular line item twice until it shows up as a sidebar but i don't see anywhere to enable it / configure it / change it. I am a pretty big noob when it comes to some Unraid stuff so any dummy-guide to enabling this would be much appreciated (the reason i want to enable memory usage alerts is so i can track down what is causing my Unraid machine to hit 100% RAM usage and crash daily, see below) )

I would love to get an unraid notification (which then feeds to my discord). Do you have any idea how to setup the script?

Does anyone know how to create a notification of memory usage at x%? I am trying to debug my server crashing and i haven't gotten much helpful responses so far across unraid forum / discord servers besides "turn off the app and see if it works". I unfortunately need to move apartments in 1 week so i need to desperately get this crash-free before i leave. I want to diagnose this and have an alert setup that when memory reaches 70%, 80%, 90%, i can quickly login and see via HTOP what is leaking.

@Houmi @dgaglioni so i called my ISP and had them give me a new IP address and now the IP address that shows up under the WAN IP of the main router is the same as the IP address of any device connected to that router (before they weren't matching per comment #1344275 above). so now https://www.duckdns.org/ is showing the same IP address of the router WAN IP. And when i try launch two of my active NGINX proxy manager apps i.e. https://emby.[SERVER].duckdns.org, it correctly works. success! What isn't working is my Wireguard VPN to be able to remote manage my server. When i connect to wireguard VPN on my iphone, it shows it "connected" but won't launch anything. DuckDNS is presumably working since that above emby link is now live (as well as my other one - https://tautulli.[SERVER].duckdns.org/). Do i need to reset up something in Wireguard to make this work? I tried both RTA and RATL on my iphone while connected to 5G to see if it works... no luck. EDIT: restarted server and it's working. Thank you all for the help!

How would i begin to troubleshoot and figure out which one is causing this? Is there a troubleshooting step to figure this out before it crashes?

I will try that in a few days. I may try roll back to 6.12.4 too. Should I just let my VM run and turn off Plex and ARRs. It would be odd that only I'm experiencing this (has it been posted elsewhere?) If it were related to one of those arr/Plex Dockers right?

Bump - really need help with solving this problem

it just crashed once again around 4am eastern. What could possibly be the hardware issue causing the crash / making the RAM go to 100%? This wasn't happening 4 days ago, nothing changed. How can i troubleshoot this more?

I'm not using the TPLink anymore, that was the old router in the old apartment. I'm now using just the Google wifi pucks -> TPLink 24 port switch -> 2.5gbe Ethernet port on server. I checked my WAN IP for the Google wifi puck themselves and they don't match the IP assigned to the system. My server IP is 170.xx.xxx.79 while Google wifi is showing that the puck the server is hardwired to (via the switch) is 100.xx.xx.116. ipv6 is disabled.

See here - i uploaded some of the files i could.

It just happened again when i woke up - less than 8 hours since last reboot. See attached for diagnostic file downloaded. I enabled the syslog server but it didn't output much. How do i make it output more / more verbosity?

I disabled "Host access to custom networks" and enabled "bridging" on eth0, and was able to re-select ipvlan for the docker settings. Could the fact that it was on macvlan be the reason it was crashing? I guess we'll see if 24 hours from now the server freezes up...

I moved my server to a new apartment / new ISP and router and now am having serious issues with with it I moved it two days ago within a couple of hours last night, i noticed the web UI had frozen last showing the CPU pegged at 100% / temps in the 80s, the RAM usage skyrocketing from 48% to 97% and the entire GUI freezing. It required me to manually turn off the server unsafely (not sure what's called but a forced shutdown essentially). Then to make things worse, the mobo won't boot the USB device until I unplug the PSU and re-plug it in. this now happened again for 2nd time 24 hours later. I have no idea how to begin to troubleshoot this or what is causing this. I didn't have this issue 3 days ago when my server was sitting in another apartment, I'm extremely sad / frustrated given a lot of what i do is sitting on this now, unstable server. I typically run Plex, related *arr apps, downloading utilities, Windows 11 VM and some other random media-related things. I started off not being able to connect with wireguard down, nginx not working (see below thread i'm having issues with) and now my CPU/RAM is getting taken to 100% within 24 hours of use causing a crash...does anyone know what is happening here? I'm running 6.12.6 which has been running for a at least a few weeks now (and again, all was fine until 3 days ago). I got a notice last night from Fix Common Problems to (a) use the community apps 8125G realtek plugin so i installed that and (b) also fiddled around with something related to "macvlan" after being redirected to this link from FCP (https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.12.4/#fix-for-macvlan-call-traces), where I did all the steps (I changed it to ipvlan, bonding was already on so no changes there, I turned bridging off, and I enabled "Host access to custom networks"). I don't have any logs from when the server crashd requiring a hard shut down, I can only see logs when i rebooted. Now IPVlan option is grayed out from my server setting too...i'm at loss of what to do.

I'm having this same out of RAM issue!!! my ipvlan option is greyed out. can someone please help me

bump

Hi all - I recently changed IP addresses, routers & ISP and now none of my DuckDNS / Wireguard / NGINX Proxy manager external sites are working. This has broken ability of accessing Emby (which I was accessing via SSL port forwarding), VPNing into Unraid with Wireguard and other functionality that used external access. I previously had the Ethernet plugged directly from my TPLink Archer router into the 2.5gbe eth0 port on my Mobo --> now have Google Wifi puck feeding into a TP-link TL-SG1024S 1GBe switch that then feeds into the same 2.5gbe port. I set up DHCP reservation on my new router To keep the same LAN IP (192.168.0.xxx) and then forwarded the exact same set of 4 ports I had on my old Archer Router (see below for port forwarding in old vs. new setup). I checked the external IPv4 shown on https://www.duckdns.org/domains and it matches the server external IP shown via the "curl ifconfig.me" command. I checked https://www.canyouseeme.org/ and put in my public IP address:8096 (i.e. the IP shown in duckDNS.org/domains + the port forwarding for Emby SSL), and it gives error: "Error: I could not see your service on xxx.xx.xxx.xx on port (8096), Reason: No route to host". I'm a bit confused how to properly troubleshoot this - is it most likely my Google Wifi is just not forwarding ports correctly? Or does anyone have any other tips on how to get VPN/wireguard/my other external accesses working again

Just did that and restarted, made quite a difference! The most difference yet so far in terms of performance improvement…thank you so much for the advice. It isn’t fully there yet i.e. I still lag around dragging windows around the screen (I’m not passing through a GPU to windows VM if that matters), but the CPU usage at idle or using chrome is significantly less which helps with my unraid CPU temps
