ok... what about upgrading the cache drive.... if I turn off the docker and then do a move, I can just replace that?

I tried it like you suggested but the docker wouldn't even start once installed?

Hi. I have an unraid system I have been using for a while and what to upgrade it. Basically I want more hdrive space but as far as I know I can not simply plug more into the system and will probably need to get a new motherboard. If I replace the motherboard, will my existing usb of unraid still function? Or do I need to buy a new copy? Also, as far as my existing data is concerned... as long as I record what drive is in what drive position on the array, unraid should just be able to load the existing data, no matter what I add or even if I change the motherboard? I'm just worried about loosing all my existing data. The drives are encrypted and xfs

nothing like this is on unraid?

Is there something like PrintShare for unraid. As in, you print to the unraid server, from phone or pad or computer... I think some of these things can even print remotely from phones. Then once the job is on unraid it then prints to the actual printer? Is there anything like that, which would make printing from a lot of different devices easy? Printing remotely I can take or leave.

how can I run binhex-nzbget through binhex-qbittorrentvpn so it shares the VPN... I have privoxy enabled on the qbittorrent container... but I can not seem to see a privoxy setting in nzbGet Settings? : EDIT : I worked out a way of sharing the vpn form the other docker, but not using privoxy ... I had to change how the networking worked.... instructions can be found here... Q 24/25 https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/vpn.md Seems to be working fine... let me know if there is a better way to do this.

Fresh install... admin / adminadmin is not working to log in.. what is the default usr / pass ? And if it iis admin / adminadmin then what do I do now? EDIT : I was able to login by editing the config file using this post here Once I do that... if i change the password in the qBitTorretn settings... then this will be fine? I do not need to edit the file a 2nd time?

um... maybe I am doing it wrong... curl ifconfig.me .. that is how you do it right?

My server had a melt down and I am setting it up again, basically a brand new installation. Thing is it has been so many years of zero issues I have forgotten eveything!! I am installing the binhex qbittorrent vpn docker and want to make sure it is working.. but I can not remember the command I used to use to display the publick IP. I click on the dicker and open a terminal... what can I type in there to get a public IP. wget and curl are not avaliable. Is there a way you can get it via ifconfig?

Worked it out.... On the MAIN tab, at the bottom where the MOVE button is... there is a button called SCHEDULE. Where you can set the timer. NOTE: if the mover is running this button/link is missing. Henry why I couldn't find it. If the MOVE button is greyed out, then the schedule button is missing.

Hi.. unraid has been so stable for so long it has been years since I last did any setting tweaking on it... so I have compleatly forgotten where the mover setting are? I currently have a move set to run every day at a certain time... but I can not find where that setting is. I am not using ca_Mover plugin (as far as I know) and all my goggle searches just point me to threads and questions about that plugin. I would like to change the automaic mover to a new time.

can you convert an existing unraid array / pool to zfs if they all have the same size hdrives without loosing the existing data?

There is a lot of hype around ZFS and I recently watched SpaceInvaders video on the rc5 and how to make ZFS pools... but I'm confused as to what ZFS is and why I should be excited. I know it is another file system... but is it worth changing my array from XFS... and if so.. can you convert an existing array to ZFS?

Oh I need to turn off VMs ... ok... There are three dns server options.. when I set to automatic the 1st is my local IP. x.x.x.1 ... do I leave that and put the public in dns 2 and 3?

I can not seem to find a way to set the DNS server for Unraid? How do I do this?

Ok... so I would need an external service to make a DNS entry to a non-static IP? These things you are talking about (and remember I am a plug and play user and od not actually understand sys-admin stuff... blame unraid devs for making it so easy) .. but the things you are talking about, these vpn tunnels.. are they not for accessing my local network from outside? I'm just trying to get access to the external interface for these streaming apps.. so say in AudioBookShelf I type into the server section "myserveriscool.wow.me" or something and it will connect. I do want to setup NextCloud at some stage... but for now.. all I want is to be able to access the streaming apps I have installed. I use a service called "ExpressVPN" and I route all my internet traffic through there at the moment, apart form Plex.

I do not understand this fix.... I log into the server and there is no ./.config and not ./.config/.tmux.conf this works now... but when I reboot the file has gone? Also.. dose anyone know where the MC config is located and how I can edit that?

I started using Unraid a few years ago simply for Plex. (Yes I know Jellyfin is aparently awesome, but I have plex working for a long time, and can not be bothered changing it!).... but as the time has gone by I am interested in some other application for unraid... mainly media hosting still... but there is an issue. For example.. I want to use AudioBookShelf (kind of like plex for audiobooks and podcasts)... but unlike plex it dose not automate the discovery of your server... when you install the app on your phone you need to enter a url / ip to your home server to connect and start streaming. How would I go about that with unraid? : Tl;DR : I'm want to access my server from outside of my house for streaming apps like AudioBookShelf, AirSonic or CalibreWEB... but they all need someway for the roaming apps to connect to the sevrer.. so like a working url or something... How do you go about that in unraid? Thanks!

No I haven't... I am using

Cool.. thanks.. there is a lot of people in the NerdTools threads asking about this.. would you mind if I cross posted this over there? No... I have uninstalled that I am using the default thing-o that came in the OS upgrade that I believe replaces NerdTools

So I have been using MC with tMux for years, but now the update has broken this. When trying to run MC in tMux you get this error... There are a number of other "pure" cli file managers I can try... but I do not know how to install a small app into the system... Here is a list of cool file managers I can try that will not throw that error as they do not use anything more than the standard console https://www.tecmint.com/linux-terminal-file-managers/ How would I install one of these?

How can I make other dockers use this docker's vpn... not privoxy, that dose not seem to work with the docker I am trying... but there was another way with a command line like.. --net=container:binhex-qbittorrentvpn This dose not seem to work on the docker I am trying... binhex-hexchat Any ideas?

I get this error

Got everything working.... again, witht ther latest update. Thanks for all the help. Screwing about in the dockers of the server for the first time in ages made me try a few new ones... I was wondering, if anyone has a up-to-date tutorial on how to use this docker as the internet for other dockers so I can share the VPN? I have it set up with some others from years ago, but I can not remember exactly what I did.

so just reinstall it?
