Just read through the last page or so before updating my Radarr instance. Is the problem now fixed and are updates working without issue? Is it/was it just a Binhex Radarr issue or issue across all repos? Does it also impact Binex Sonarr?

It's always a lovely feeling when something you write with the objective of helping people in a similar position to you, helps someone in a similar position to you. Glad it helped! This was a pain in the backside for me too, except I had 20TB of data to move haha.

Installed Unbalance, but I cannot connect to it. For some bizarre reason, my browser keeps changing the port number randomly. Tried both Chrome and Edge on both HTTP and HTTPS and changed the port from the default. Any ideas?

I've just realised that my 'media' share was spread across all disks and set to fill 'Most-Free'. This has resulted in a load of data being on two disks I didn't want it to (I'm trying to keep them solely for Chia Plots). I've just clicked 'exclude disks' and applied the mover. Will it move them to the appropriate disk? If not, what's the best way of doing this? Best,

Hey, Found this as an answer for why the docker image size is at 100%. Copied what you entered, but to no avail. I created new shares with the following info: /mnt/user/Chia-Plots /mnt/user/Chia-plotting With the Chia docker configured like this: Still getting 100% Docker usage. Docker vdisk size set to the default 20GB. Having said this. It appears to be working. I've got a load of lines in the docker cli stating: "Bucket 46 uniform sort. Ram: 11.652GiB, u_sort min: 0.563GiB, qs min: 0.281GiB." etc. is that expected?

Turned out the NTP Server portion of my Core Firewall (NGFW) had a fit after updating and decided to change the date to 2012. This caused the webproxy function to fail resulting random browsing failures. Really odd.

Just checked the 'df' command and can see that /boot is mounted to /dev/sda1 (or the other way around - forget which).

As per the title. I had my server up and running for ages. probably around a year or so. Shut everything down to perform some maintenance on the server (hoover dust out and install 2 new HDDs). Anyway, on boot I can't connect to the GUI and been waiting a while. Nothing has changed other than the addition of two more drives. USB still in the same slot and still formatted in the same way. I can ping it from my core firewall, the CLI is up when connected directly via a monitor. Checked the IF config and there's no IP address in the eth0 section, but the correct IP is stated in the br0 section and at the login screen. Traffic is being allowed via the core firewall. Tried accessing it via both HTTPS and HTTP. Error code is "Refused to Connect", which says to me that it is reaching the server, but the server doesn't like it. Going to be difficult for me to pull any config logs as I don't have SSH enabled. Best,

Hi all, I'm about to embark on my first Unraid version upgrade (6.8.3 to 6.9.2) and I was wondering if there was anything I should do/need to be aware of prior to doing it? Any backups I should make etc? Or is it just safe to yolo it and click the buttons? Also wondering if there were any bugs that I should be aware of? Only use it for Plex, Tautulli, Radarr, Sonarr, and SabNZBD and the associated storage - will any of these have issues on upgrade? Best,

Forced update works for me. I've also been having a few issues with both Radarr and Sonarr not moving *some* of my downloaded files from the "complete" folder to my actual media folder. No idea what's causing this as neither are producing any logs. Hoping this update fixes it for Radarr. Also sent you $5 @binhex . Thanks for all that you do.

@Squid I had it on Basic View and Extra Parameters wouldn't show. *facepalm*. Is there a difference between using the "c" flag or the "--cpu-shares" flag? Presume I have to type the single digit with the "c" flag and the bit-offset with the "--cpu-shares" flag? Anything on the last question? My idea was to try and implement the following priority: System UUD dockers (when I get around to implementing it) Plex My other Dockers Just not sure if this is possible? Can you go down to 4? Again, I'm presuming you can go down to 10 given the mapping against bit-offsets?

Hey @Squid, Just trying to enter the parameters for docker priority as defined and I'm a bit confused on a number of parts: Where do I actually enter the "-c" or "--cpu-shares" flag? Is it in the docker/UnRAID console? Or do I add a variable? If I have to type it into the UnRAID console, how does it know which docker I'm referring to? What command do I type in and where do I type it to generate this output? I presume the UnRAID console? PID container CPU CPU share 100 {C0} 0 100% of CPU0 101 {C1} 1 100% of CPU1 102 {C1} 2 100% of CPU2 I understand that a value of '1' has double the priority of '2', which equates to 1024 and 512 respectively. But what should I use with the "-c" or "--cpu-shares" flag? The single digit (1, 2, etc) or the bit-offset (1024, 512, etc)? Is there any way to prioritise the 'system' over dockers? One thing I've noticed is that, when trying to access the Docker tab when Plex is using all of the CPU, it just hangs until it becomes less busy. Can I set the "system" as a higher priority so that I always have control?

Oh this is awesome. Thanks. I actually wanted to do this anyway with some of my other dockers. But in this instance I was more taking about a specific process that happens *within* a docker. My assumption is that UnRAID can't do anything about that as it'll just see the Plex docker asking for resources, rather than the individual process within the Plex docker. Could be wrong though, just wanted some clarification.

Hi all, Having some issues with Plex using up all the CPU when new media is added. I currently have it set to analyse media, download the metadata, and generate video thumbnails when new stuff is added/detected. Appreciate that I can solve this issue quickly by changing the settings and running them as scheduled tasks outside of regular 'working' hours, but I was also wondering if there was a way that I can change the CPU priority to certain tasks/processes or limit them to a maximum % of CPU? Best,

You're welcome mate. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Work getting in the way as per. Glad it's sorted now.

Cool. I thought that should be the case, but wanted to make sure. I have enabled QS passthrough which obviously will not be available with the upgrade to an R7. My ultimate end-goal is to get a P2000 - but that's further down the line along with a PSU upgrade.

Ah got you. I thought you were saying that you had a spare all connected up but not assigned to the array.

I think what you've stated is probably best-practice, although I wonder what you're trying to achieve with the 'spare' drive? Is that just in case one fails you've got one ready to go in?

Has it actually picked up the IP address? Can you describe your network? If you can go to draw.io and draw it out (or just use paint) with IP addresses etc. that would be helpful. Also, does the BIOS time match your network time?

Morning all. Been contemplating upgrading the internals of my media server for some time and I'll probably look to make a move next year. In my gaming PC, I currently have an R7 3700X CPU which I would look to upgrade to an R7 5800X and then use the 3700X in my media server. This would mean I'd need to buy a new motherboard and get some faster memory (the ones I've got are 2666MHz and Ryzen likes 3200MHz+). When the time comes, can I literally just take the old stuff out, stick the new stuff in, reconnect the drives, and UnRAID will figure it out and just make it work? Or do I need to make sure the drives are reconnected into the equivalent sockets (SATA 1, SATA, 2, etc?) Could it be that all the array drives themselves are fine (given that data isn't striped in UnRAID), but the parity drive(s) will need to be rebuilt? What's the situation?

Hi man, Thank you very much for the info! I'll probably have a look at that. I like how you've got extra fans inside too. Also, how did you get the one on it's own fixed? Was that hot-glue?

I plan to do what this chap has done: Not entirely sure how they remain in-situ, but I've sent him a DM and I'll keep you informed on the update.

Hi all, Given the success of my transition to UnRAID, I'm actually looking to transfer all of my non-gaming needs to a single device. This will help keep power consumption, space utilisation down, while improving the tidiness of my current setup (see picture) and probably the performance of it too. All it's currently being used for is Plex and Downloads, but I'd like to transfer the backup drive implementation. In this image you can see: Old ESXi Host (Lenovo TS-140). All of the VMs are now running in UnRAID as Dockers and this is turned off. Old QNAP TS-419P+ which is currently acting as a backup drive (can transfer this function to UnRAID) and has 3 x 6TB WD Red drives (one of the bays is broke). Sky Router Philips Hue Bridge A Cisco and a Netgear switch. Random Chinese fanless PC that is running Sophos XG Next-Gen Firewall (Core Firewall, IDPS, WAF, Proxy, DNS, etc.) One thing I will need to make this successful, however, is some more HDD cages to sit inside my case. What I'm after are these, but they're like rocking horse poo as I can't find any to buy anywhere. I've found this, which looks like it'll do a similar job, but I just wanted to buy the official ones if I could as they look better quality and come with the rubber dampers etc. Do you guys think they'll work? Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance.

I only have new Edge and IE installed. Didn't think there would be much point in installing Chrome given they're both the same thing and IE doesn't load anything up. Seen people having issues on Firefox too, so didn't bother; although I could. I just try to keep installed apps to a minimum (although tell that to my RGB software on my gaming PC...).

Sorry for the delay in response, I've updated the 'go' file (very frustratingly due to the issue stated here), but I've managed to do that. Very much a case of RTFM in this instance. haha
