Works great when I'm away from home, but noticing some network issues since installing a month ago. 1. Sometimes I can't access my Unraid server when I'm on a local machine without tailscale active on the client. Rebooting the Unraid plugin seems to help. 2. Plex users are saying their streams will stop every 20 mins or so. Not sure if it's Tailscale related, but figured I'd upload the diagnostics. Thanks. Hera-tailscale-diag-20230917-101241.zip

I spent some time thinking about it and went with this part list. Just finished running memtest overnight and I'm about to load up Unraid. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nw4hW4 I think the thing that scared me the most was the Supermicro mobo potentially not supporting the CPU out-of-the-box without a bios update. I also wanted 10GB on the mobo.

Will be using it with some normal hard drives(WD Red Pros) not SSDs. There's about an $80 difference on eBay from what I see (already flashed in IT mode). Which should I go with? Also, I keep reading about heat and seeing people rig a 40mm fan directly on it. If performance is the same, meaning given I'm only using spinners...is there a difference in heat? If there is a concern about heat, should I attempt to attach a 40mm fan or find some type of bracket. I have no idea what type of bracket either. Thanks.

Whoa, awesome info. Thank you @Hoopster. How come I rarely see Supermicro mentioned for motherboard choices? It's usually Asus, Gigabyte, and ASRock. So with that OCuLink cable, are you saying I won't need a controller then? Am I turning one motherboard SATA port into 4? Does that affect r/w speeds? You think air cooling is good enough for the 13th gen Intel? The gaming folks water cool them. Do we typically need it for a few 4k transcoding streams?

I think I'm ready to build my second Unraid server. Some things I'm pretty sure I want: 13th Gen Intel: i9-13900K, i7-13700K or i5-13600K? I dunno...these keep coming up. 10GB network. Reading here 2.5GB isn't great? 2-4TB SSD cache pool. A pool of two drives is faster? Two 2TB Samsungs? 12 SATA drive support(Rosewill chassis has 12 hot swap). A motherboard with enough SATA connections that I would only need 1 additional LSI expander. As in, can someone recommend a motherboard that has 4 SATA connections then I get an expander with 8? LSI expander in IT mode. So much info on these boards and I can't dig my feet into the sand on a choice. Things I don't know much about: Is having a separate network card better than having it built into the motherboard? Does Unraid still have issues with Intel HW transcoding with the 13Gen chips? Is having multiple SSDs in the cache faster than just one for reads/writes? Will hard drives have different speed performances if connected directly to a SATA port on the motherboard vs an expander? I know this is a big ask, but it would greatly be appreciated for some compatible parts I can pull the trigger on. Any similar parts picker lists I can just steal? Thanks.

Probably overthinking this, but I'm about to put together a new build to replace my functioning unRAID server. I mysteriously was able to put a build together with the Norco 8 years ago, but I'll be honest when I say backplane talk confuses me and I don't know how the case/sata can limit my system. Replacing all the hardware, but should I reuse the Norco case? Any benefit to buying the Rosewill? I would think copying data to the new drives/build would be easier with less down time. If I reuse the case, I would think I would have to swap my parity with a new larger drive and add the other new drives then unbalance it with the plugin. Then swap the old internals with the new build keeping the new parity and data drives. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for this. Nope, nothing holding me back from updating Unraid. I think Unraid had some bad releases last year which scared me. Plus I haven't updated any of my HW bios...not even sure if that's a factor. Yeah, so I am somewhat concerned about the age of the disks and system. I guess I'm probably just unnecessarily nervous to even get hands on with the current system as it's still working. Family and friends also use it so if I screw up I'll have to answer texts.

Gotcha, thanks @trurl and @Kilrah for the clarification and education. Soo...without a magic eight ball...you think 8 years is enough for a NAS? I feel like I don't have much life left(sound about right?), Unraid is running an older version, and I have to keep dupe movie resolutions because it can't HW transcode.

LOL, I must have missed this important bit of info. You mean my NAS with parity needs a backup? I assumed if a single disk fails it can be rebuilt? I realize a huge disaster is unrecoverable, but the one-off disk failure isn't covered? Whoops. I hope I'm not getting too off-topic from the original question, but if I were to build a new system with different drives and copy the data(mostly movies) from the current array...do I need to do anything special with the old drives or are they "good enough" to be the backup? Like, is the data split up and unreadable if I were to connect it to an existing PC in case I needed to recover?

No backups.

All xfs.

I'm assuming the answer will be something like "If it ain't broke then don't fix it", but I wanted to get in front of future issues. My build is 8 years old and I'm afraid to update from 6.8.3. I mostly use it for downloads(deluge), storage and Plex(~5 users). Transcoding is an issue so I keep my 4k rips in a private share duping existing 1080p movies(silly imo). Current build: Intel Xeon E3-1240 @ 3.4Ghz. Samsung SSD for cache. 6-6TB WD Reds for storage with about 2TB left. Norco rack mounted case with slots available...but, I can't even remember how many more slots are actually wired. I'm kicking around the ideas of: 1. Building something again similar to above with a larger parity(12TB?) and can handle transcoding. Copy data over from the 6TB drives to new 12TBs, sell them, and run latest Unraid. 2. Building something again to my original with a larger parity, but don't worry about Plex and buy an i7 NUC as a Plex server. Perform everything mentioned in #1(copying/selling drives, etc). 3. Saving some time/pain(?) and switching to a Synology and an i7 NUC. Thanks

^ Disregard. Another Unraid reboot fixed it. Weird.

@binhex Hi team. I can't seem to get Deluge up and running again after a planned reboot. Running UnRaid 6.6.3 and the latest version of Deluge(non VPN). It says no update available, but "force update" is clickable. Nothing changed on my router and other dockers seem ok. Thanks for any help.

Everything runs great. Is it possible to receive a pushbullet notification on torrent completion? I see there is an "execute" plugin where you can run a script, but I'm somewhat lost on how to get a pushbullet notification from a script especially on an unraid server. Thanks.

You'll have to post diagnostics. Without the specifics on how 6.1.9 was setup its kinda hard to say. But, quick and easy answer will be to manually delete your docker.img file wherever its stored, recreate it in the the default system share (not explicitly required to be in that share, but its nice and easy) and then re-add your apps back via CA's Previous Apps section. After the downloads are complete, everything will be back to normal. You won't even need to adjust the templates. They'll be filled out the same as before It's been a while since I did this, but I think I created the docker.img on my cache drive. I can't even remember how I set this up...sucks having to relearn this all over again. So just use CA to install right over the same paths? Will I lose all my Deluge and Plex settings?

So I casually updated from 6.1.9 without reading anything first. All my installed dockers are missing(Plex, Plexpy, Deluge). In layman's terms(for my stupid ass that thought it would be cool to upgrade right before bed without reading anything)....how do I get these back? Edit: I don't even have a docker tab. My Windows 8.1 VM is up and running though...I changed the video driver settings as per the upgrade directions, but after it already booted. That a problem?

Having some problems with pushbullet notifications. Unraid is on latest and did a fresh install of plexpy. The web gui see my library and sees when people are on since it updated my history/user info. I can test pushbullet in the settings and it sends a notification immediately. On day 2 with different people watching movies. Any suggestions for things I should look for? Thanks. Edit: Got it. Didn't realize you had to click on the icon next to the name of the notification agent in settings to enter another menu.

Sorry to bump my own questions, but I'm still having trouble figuring out connecting without getting warnings(I figured out the volume mappings question). Do I need to do something with ssl/certificates or just change something in my config? I tried some of the configs posted in here with no luck. Also...anyone on 9.0.1? OwnCloud still says I'm on latest not allowing an update. Thanks. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, but there seems to be about 3 issues most people(including myself) are having. Sorry if I missed the solution in this thread...I've tried some of the suggestions that I found, unsuccessfully. 1. How do I get rid of my "unsecure" connection warning? I get it from within my network using my local IP and also externally using my ddns site. In the config file, I added my local IP:port and my https://ddns-name:port to the "trusted domains". I also tried adding my https://ddns-name:port to the "overwrite cli" setting. I have port forwarding working, but I'm forwarding port 8100 to 8000 in my router if that info is needed/relevant. 2. How do I add my existing shares to owncloud? I did the volume mappings on the docker settings page. I also added/enabled the external storage plugin. I can't see any of my shares that are on my unraid server. 3. How do I update to the latest(9.0.1)? I have "Edge" set to 1 in advanced mode of the docker page. I check for an update and it says I have the latest at 8.2.2 Beta. Thanks.

Are people still actively using Needo's Plex Docker? I thought I read somewhere he wasn't around anymore. I have an update available according to the server page, but can't seem to get it to update(tried restarting the docker, but haven't tried "manually" updating). Plex technically works and I'm hesitant to change dockers as I've never done it before. I'm worried I'll lose all my user/guest info/settings. Any reason to switch?

I just upgraded to a yearly PlexPass. Do I have to install a different Plex Docker or update any settings to get the "premium" features? Thanks

Question on Dropbox behavior. When I make changes on my Dropbox folder from my phone or home computer they propagate fine to my unraid server Dropbox folder via the docker. However, when I make changes on my unraid Dropbox folder they don't appear to go out to my other devices. Does this docker only sync one way?

Thanks, I'll look it over, but it seems Blue Iris is what people like and is more mature. Free is great though. So is having a built in docker.
