Getting Goin

Hi All, I am on Unraid 6.12.10 and having issue installing several docker containers. All are from Binhex and i have asked in two different binhex support threads for over three weeks with no answers or even suggested fixes. All dockers are up to date and so is unraid. Problem. When I try to install 3 different types of dockers from Binhex that were previously working they appear to install perfectly and when i click on start they show started. But when i click on Webgui or refresh the dashboard they are again stopped and Webgui does not load. The only error i get in any log is as follows Error: could not find config file /etc/supervisor.conf For help, use /usr/bin/supervisord -h This all happen after getting a corrupt docker.img to which i followed spaceinvaders guide to fix. Once back online all my previous dockers worked except binhex. I have tried deleting the app data folder and starting from scratch on one of the dockers and it comes up with the same error. I really don't want to lose the data on two of the dockers, but at wits end to what i can do at this point. The first thing i would like to fix is the supervisor.conf error. Any idea how i can troubleshoot of fix this error? MANY thanks to all that help, really really appreciate it.

Anybody have any advice or help for my above issues of sonarr not starting which has a log error listed below? Error: could not find config file /etc/supervisor.conf For help, use /usr/bin/supervisord -h

Yes all the dockers, plugin and unraid itself are completely up to date, my confusion was with the tagged part of your statement. I am now guessing if a docker gets old it gets tagged dated? None the less I am up to date. Just in case this gets unsolved is there a way i can take my sonarr settings and database to another sonarr docker as i have tried the linux server upload and it seems to be working fine. Sorry, its been sometime now since my original post in general support and i am getting antsy as i am way behind on content. Thank You!

Hi Binhex, I am on the current version of Unraid which is 6.12.10 with a Linux kernel of 6.1.79. All mine containers are current/updated. Unsure how to check for tagged dated image. Just for the record I am having this issue with three (krusader, sonarr and radarr) out of four containers that i utilize from yourself. All three behave the same except for rutorrent, which appears to be working fine but with some log errors. I am unsure how rutorrent is working or built differently, but thought it may help zero in things. Many thanks for taking your valuable time to answer and help, really appreciate the work you have done. Thanks.

Hello All, I could really use a little help with my binhex container issues. Been trying to fix this off and on for two weeks now and to no avail. I am concerned that if i try anything else i may make things worse. It is only binhex containers that i am having the issue. I have tried Linuxserver sonarr and it works as intended. Below i have included the log files . Basically the problem is the container appear to start, but then on reload they are stopped. Cannot access web gui either. I believe it has something to due with the supervisor.conf error or possibly permission problem, but really i am unsure. Below are my logs. Thank you Command execution ------------------------------------------------------------- docker run -d --name='binhex-sonarr' --net='bridge' -e TZ="America/My_Town" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e HOST_HOSTNAME="watchbox" -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="binhex-sonarr" -e 'UMASK'='000' -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman -l net.unraid.docker.webui='http://[IP]:[PORT:9595]/' -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/binhex/docker-templates/master/binhex/images/sonarr-icon.png' -p '9595:9595/tcp' -p '9897:9897/tcp' -v '/mnt/user/datastorage/':'/data':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/datastorage/media/tv/':'/media':'rw' -v '/mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-sonarr/':'/config':'rw' 'binhex/arch-sonarr' df0b05b0............................

Hi All, I am having difficulty with a few of binhex docker applications all are acting similarly. But I would really like to focus in on sonarr as it is my main concern. If i solve sonarr issues, i believe it will help me resolve the issues with my other binhex docker containers as it seems they have the same issue. My issue being that the application appears to start, but never works. When i click on the Web Gui or refresh unraid, then application is back to stopped state. I have followed the troubleshooting step that i could find such as deleted the logs and restarting the command executions to which the command execution finishes without error and appears normal and the log files appear fine for the most part except for one error at the beginning with the supervisor.conf, which is listed below. Error: could not find config file /etc/supervisor.conf For help, use /usr/bin/supervisord -h I cannot find this supervisor.conf file in /etc myself, unless it is hidden it does not exist as far as i can tell. I have tried created a blank file called supervisor.conf and it was of zero success. I have not be able to find what should be in this file as a template or really any information on troubleshooting this specific config error as it pertains to unraid and binhex docker applications. The help tip listed in the log is of no use to me either as i do not understand what it is asking me to do by suggesting to use /usr/bin/supervisord -h and for the record i do not see this file in that directory either. Is this a file missing issue, permission issue or maybe something else? Any help would be great, thank you for your time and help.

Great Advice, I think that is just what i will do. I originally had the same thought, but decided it was best to place it here as the problem does involve multiple docker images. But since it has been unresolved and commentary and advice has been little, i believe your approach may be best. Thank you.

Definitely thinking i posted the above in wrong forum now as zero responses at this point. Can somebody please move to appropriate forum so that i can hopefully get a nudge on what the issue could be and maybe even resolve it. Many Thanks!

Hello All, I am unsure if this is the correct thread for my question, i apologize if it is not and hope it can be moved if incorrect. I am currently experiencing issues with a few binhex docker apps that i believe could be related to the supervisor, which is common amongst binhex apps hence the reason for the general thread post. The problem: ---------------------------- When i install an binhex docker app everything seems to complete and install properly. But when i start it is appears to try and start and even shows "started" from the unraid dashboard, however when i try to connect to webgui or refresh the dashboard it shows shutdown. This happens on multiple binhex apps except for the rtorrent, which has errors in the log but appears to start and work as it should. Apps having difficulties at this point are krusader, radarr and sonarr. How we got here. ---------------------------- I have ran all of the above listed docker app without issue for sometime. All above listed where previously installed and running as they should. But my docker image became corrupt and i needed to reinstall. So i followed spaceinvaders tutorial on on removing and reinstalling the containers. Each one seem to install fine, until i got to binhex. Only rtorrent seems to work. So i thought it maybe permission errors and ran the new safe docker permission file tool. This may have made things worse, unsure yet. But none the less i cannot get binhex apps to load. What could be the issue? ------------------------------------ Well clicking on each app log file from the dashboard only gives one error and that is related to the supervisor. Below being the error Error: could not find config file /etc/supervisor.conf For help, use /usr/bin/supervisord -h So it appears as if it cannot connect to the supervisor.conf . I know i did not delete that file, so i am thinking it may be a permission error. But when i list (ls) the contents of the /etc folder i do not see the supervisor.conf file. Is it hidden or could it have deleted by itself when deleted the docker image? I am unsure what happened with it and how to properly recovery it, also if that file is missing how is the supervisord.log getting updated? Doesn't it need the supervisor.conf to work properly? I am at a lost and over my head for sure, if anybody can help shed some light to help fix or point me in right direction, that would be great! Thanks --------------------- Many thanks to any and all who help, appreciate you taking your time to reply and your advise. Have a good day, evening or night! Cheers!

Ok, so maybe I am doing this wrong. But I have put the disk physically in the Unraid machine, then mounted it via Unassigned Devices (UD). With your post its making me believe i should have connected to it differently. But unsure as in the actual machine is still local I believe. Which way do you recommend for me to connect the drive the best? Physically in machine, Ethernet or USB? USB would seem less ideal to me than physically in machine, but maybe Unraid reacts differently to external drives, unsure?.. I was planning on copying them exactly like they were 1 disk for 1 disk sort of speak. I wish i could just plug my existing drives into unraid and be done with it. I like how they are organized and see no need to change it at this point. I do believe i would like to setup things differently going forward, but not sure if that will matter for my prior data arrangement. I will give example. ------------------------------------- Say I have one drive full of old movies and they are sorted via genre folders. Like Horror, comedy, drama, etc.. lets say 10 genre folders for this example and 20 movies. I have two movies in each genre folder. disk is full. lol yes they much be 10k to fill up the 8tb. Its just example. Ok. I would like to move that whole disk and keep it that way on Unraid. Why, because they are old movies. I am unlikely to be accessing them regularly or at the same time on different devices. But on the new drives I install, maybe I would like to spread new movies around on different disk. They are new and maybe in demand/popular throughout my devices. So for speed maybe mix them up across the drives, but keeping each movie, episode or music cd together in one folder ( not scattered pieces of it around, movie one place, thumbnail another, etc..). Does this sound logical? Can this be done? Or if i want to mix up the new directories does this have to start from the beginning with the old drives? To be truthful i haven't given layout strategies much thought at this point. Been focusing on how to transfer. If I have to move this all around again after completion it will suck for time wise, but it will be a learning experience. Something i am ok with if i have to be. To get it right the first time would be strange for me as it never seems to happen like that. I would be very pleasantly surprised though if it did... Ok, this will be new to me but i will look into learning how to do this right away. I now have two drives in my Unraid. The semi empty 10tb one as i have managed to copy some scatter files on it with krusader. The other one being the 8tb data NTFS disk. But based on your comment above it sounds as it best left in original machine and then shared? When you say use UD (Unassigned Devices) to access it, is this done via remote terminal as well? Cause when I use UD to access the current mount drive in the unraid web gui within the MAIN TAB, it really doesn't allow me to do anything other than load/read file. There are no copy commands of any sort. I do have options prior to mount, such as read only, pass thru and something else can't recall. Slow and safe is preferred. I am limited on commands. The other drives that are NTFS are currently in a linux (Ubuntu) machine. I have been playing with Ubuntu for about a year, would love to get better with it and wish i jumped onboard years ago. But my learning ability is not as quick these days and most commands have been cut and paste without any realization into learning what they are actually doing or how the commands break down. I will try and give it a go, but will have to research it prior. I am not exactly sure the proper command structure for my scenario. I will have to do some reading to try and figure out Midnight Commander (MC) and Rsync. I have been trying to learn rsync prior as i though it may have been the answer, but haven't had to much luck with these commands. Yes, i believe i do understand that they are different as one being user and the other a disk. But maybe I don't as I type cannot see a reason to mnt/user. I am also unsure why you ask, is it because i was referring to the unassigned drive being a device id versus the disk array having a disk #? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The more time i sink into this, the more i realize unraid may be over my head. But i am fairly stubborn and would love to learn it. So I think for the sake of my data security I will just continue with trying to get this one disk copied on to unraid and leave the others and even this disk alone afterward and put in back in the old system. This until i feel more secure with unraid. But i really need to complete this transfer at this point as i cannot for the life on me give up on something that i thought would be of little difficulty going into this. I thought getting the dockers, vm, etc.. all setup and talking to my devices would be the challenge, at this point can only imagine that rabbit hole. Do all new users with unraid just understand how to easily copy their data over? Do all users have strong command background and come from server backgrounds, nas, qnap or synology type systems? Nobody just starts with unraid for their first system and need existing data transferred? Based on documentation i have NOT found it seems this may be the case. I would have thought there would have been some guide, tutorial or youtube video out there with some break down of a beginner setup coming from a place with prior data disk trying to migrate to unraid. Not just fresh setups and now start new data collection.

Ok, give up for another day. Last thing i tried was installing Krusader, which can only be done with docker. In order to install it i had to start array, went into apps and installed krusader. I accepted all defaults. To get into the docker web gui i clicked on the docker image of krusader in Unraid web gui. It loaded the krusader docker which looks similar to windows file explorer. I thought i would move one directory as a test and i did. Then i realized i should have copied, instead of move as original drive now missing that directory and i am unsure this will work correctly. So i try to copy it back and it won't let me. Error of some sort, can't recall now. I look around on the drive and even search for the file to see locations and it seems as it split the file in few folders, under app data and home, also within krusader folder structure. Weird to beginner newbie. So I figured i will copy the data over instead of move, but leery of this as unlikely to give me status and proper verification that all files transferred properly. So I see the synchronization option. Decide to try that. It seems to work, but rather than go from unassigned drive to array share disk it did the opposite. Maybe had right to left and left to right setup wrong. Could have since late and been trying to do this for days now. Frustration has set in a little and why i need to break away for now. I now have my original disk a little messed up as i have folders from the disk array on it and the array has a few files and folders scattered around it. Nothing to crazy, but less than ideal. Just want to figure out how to get it all moved correctly, will fix that folder structure later. I need a break away though, got a little stir crazy with it. Hope some direction comes soon. thanks

Few hours later and really no further along here, would love a push from somebody. I am starting to believe rsync may be the best solution, but the commands are confusing and unsure weather it can be properly run from the GUI. I am reading about the commands and have opened it via terminal in the GUI. But some guides suggest SSH, unsure why as seems terminal in GUI should be suitable. Seems rsync may be more advance than i can handle without proper guidance. I really don't want to corrupt data or delete something unnecessary. Many guides refer to identifying the hard drive via disk #. But the unassigned drives do not have disk #. They are labelled by device . The Wiki speaks as if moving and coping within the array using commands such as MV or CP -R are valid solution leaning towards copy as the best considering it doesn't delete old file like move does. Which is how i would like to do it. But it doesn't give commands from unassigned to array. It also doesn't list commands to show status of transfer or success as seems Rsync has for at least transfer status. Really hoping somebody can chime in here, love a good push it right direction. Thanks

Awesome, never saw that before, i like it alot. Thanks! I now have installed unassigned devices and have mounted a drive via that section. I can navigate the drive and its partitions right down to single file level via the unraid web GUI. I cannot however copy folders or any file, it allows me to open the files but cannot copy them at this point.

Ok, persistence pays i guess . I have managed to get the drive encrypted. The steps i took are listed. I post this to not only show what i have done at this point, but in hopes it may help somebody in the future. Steps to encrypt drives in Unraid for new setup. (original topic sidetracked) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clicked on the disk and selected XFS - Encrypted and then went into SETTINGS TAB (main unraid setting tab) and click on disk settings. In disk settings had to change default file system to XFS - Encrypted. Then back to MAIN TAB and next to the greyed out start array button i typed in my password twice, but it would still not show proper start button until i clicked on show password and it registered and the start array button became available. Then I started array and it rebooted with Unmountable: Volume not encrypted showing under the disk. On same MAIN TAB under array operation it will show the unmountable disk present with a greyed out FORMAT button. Next to it will say "Format will create a file system in all Unmountable disks." with a box that can be checked saying "YES I WANT TO DO THIS". When you click that box it will pop up a WARNING, click ok and the format button will be available. Click the FORMAT Button and it will start the process. Original topic back on track ----------------------------------------------------- Any more tips on moving data to unraid? Should i just insert hard drive, install unassigned devices and just Copy and paste the files? Hoping for better way.. Thanks

The writing may be on the wall for drive encryption. I can't see to get it to work on top of the data transfer issues. I have figured out how to format via XFS. Click on the disk and in the properties change file type to XFS. Then start array and it will tell you not valid partition and at some point within the Gui it will tell you to format the unassigned drives and list them. I was able to do this and start the array. However when i tried to do the same but with Encrypted - XFS I cannot start array. On the main page it tells me i need a passphrase or keyfile. If i choose passphrase and type in basic word or even complex pass i cannot get it to allow start array. Start array button is greyed out. I can only click on maintenance check box, but it does nothing either. I cannot save Passphrase or start array. Maybe this is a sign, i dunno. Nothing ever seems to come easy. Still unsure how to properly transfer existing data to the array. Thanks
