Thanks for the explanation. Are there any particular pro's and con's to either option?

Recently nuked my server and started again with a clean install, setting up all my containers again. Can't remember which guide I followed to get the server basics up and running, but am noticing now I don't seem to have a vDisk for docker containers. What am I not understanding here? themagiceye-diagnostics-20260613-1656.zip

Sorry @JorgeB I think I misunderstood your question. I pretty sure it's not the same day and time that this is happening. This time was Tuesday at 10pm ish so I'll report back if the same happens next week. Have a feeling last time it was over the weekend. FWIW I don't have any background tasks scheduled to operate as early as 10pm.

2:30am on a Tuesday. This happened about 10pm, also on Tuesday

HI all, Strange Gremlin on my server has occurred three or four times now over the last month or so. All of my docker containers just randomly stop sometimes. The docker service doesn't turn off, just the containers are stopping. If manually turn them all back on everything just works fine and carries on. Hoping someone might be able to provide some insights as this is not ideal. Have attached diagnostics. themagiceye-diagnostics-20260303-2221.zip

Hi all, just wondering if I'm missing something obvious, but there doesn't appear to be a container for running the Joplin self hosted server in the App store. Is there a reason for this? I've never done docker compose stuff before so looking for how I might get this up and running, Also noticed that I can get sync up and running without the server using WebDav and Tailscale. Any thoughts on the robustness of such a setup?

Hi there, just trying to get my Nvidia GPU transcoding but there appears to be no NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES parameter in the container template as described in the instructions at the top of this thread. How am I meant to go about this in 2025?

Just coming back to this after some non-unraid life distractions @JorgeB @itimpi @MowMdown All of my Docker container config pages have a path /mnt/user Docker directory in Docker settings is /mnt/user/system/docker Default appdata storage location in Docker settings is /mnt/user/appdata The System share has a primary storage drive of Cache_system (which is the drive I want system files to be stored), and no secondary storage set The appdata share also has a primary storage drive of Cache_system and no secondary storage set All of these setting remain unchanged from my initial config of this new server a few weeks ago The test file @JorgeB had me create in the terminal has written to the correct Cache_system drive. But somehow despite all of this a "docker" folder in the system share continues to write new files to my other cache drive (Cache_data). See screenshots below sorted by last modified If I move the docker folder from the cache_data drive to cache_system where it should be it appears that future writes will just continue to land on cache_data despite all my correct settings. I'm also concerned that moving this folder might screw with my config, so wanted to check in again before I so anything. Have also attached diagnostics. Any thoughts on what I should do from here? Thanks! themagiceye-diagnostics-20251103-1917.zip

This is a new install of UnRaid and afaik Unraid automatically creates a system share and in my case put it on a cache drive not planned for this purpose. The files ending up there are system folder and then the docker subfolder with. New writes are happening there all the time despite now setting the system share to my preferred cache drive.

I realised this myself and was wondering how I was going to do it. Didn't know about the buttons at the bottom of the share you mentioned so thanks for the heads up @JorgeB . There are still files being written to the wrong cache disk, so also just wondering if I do this move to the other cache will that mean future writes will be made to the new location?

OK will do, thanks @JorgeB. Is it OK to just move them with Krusader as a cut and paste?

Thanks so much @JorgeB , I've just done that and posted the updated diags. Also, taking a closer look it appears the system folder on my cache_system drive is empty But then on the cache_data drive there is also a system folder populated with a single sub-folder called 'docker'. This has lots of folders/files within it and seems to be regularly updated. My Docker settings have the following paths, so I really don't understand how I got myself to this point haha themagiceye-diagnostics-20251028-0704.zip

Hi there, I have two cache drives on my new setup. Despite setting the system share being set to operate off of my cache_system drive, it instead appears to be storing all of the files on my cache_data drive instead. I can't work out why this would be happening and any insights would be great. Diagnostics attached themagiceye-diagnostics-20251027-1850.zip

Watching Ibracorps recent zero to hero video for basic setup of the arr stack, he recommends a single Media share with TV Shows, Movies etc all as subfolders within it. Apparently this makes things easier to setup including hardlinks and some other bits and bobs. Last time around I had each of the different media types in their own unique Share, which was done largely following spaceinvader guides (no hardlinks setup fwiw). Is there an accepted best practice for this in terms of making the arrs work as smoothly as possible? Keen to get it all as right as possible this time around. Thanks!
