Found the solution. The property --- ytdl_options: format: "FORMAT HERE" --- can be set in the config file where FORMAT HERE is any format command that would otherwise work with ytdlp. This particular ytdl_options field is not explicitly documented in the ytdl-sub documentation from what I can see.

This tool is great, I've been able to set up automatic downloads on a schedule from various channels (and remove videos past a certain age). However, the remaining piece of functionality I cannot figure out is how to limit the resolution of a download to no more than 1080p. I've tried, in the terminal: "ytdl-sub --config /config/config.yaml sub /config/subscriptions.yaml --format 'bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio" or "ytdl-sub --config /config/config.yaml sub /config/subscriptions.yaml -f bestvideo[height<=?1080]+bestaudio/best" or "ytdl-sub --config /config/config.yaml sub /config/subscriptions.yaml -S "res:1080"" or "ytdl-sub --config /config/config.yaml sub /config/subscriptions.yaml -S res:1080" In all cases either the quality qualifier seems to be ignored and I get a 4K file, or I get an error about the command being invalid. Am I misguided in the way I am trying to apply the syntax? Also, anyone know of a command to do the same that can be entered in the config.yaml file? I have not been able to identify such a command in the documentation. Thanks!

Understood now that if I shutdown and remove the USB running UNRAID and reinsert it later it probably won't boot properly. Good feedback about the Unassigned Devices plugin, I'll check it out! I think I will have to take a different approach all together to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Thanks!

If I set and SMB share to public (a requirement of a specific application I am running), but set export to yes (hidden), how insecure is the share on my home network? I know that if someone knows the network path they can access the share and do what ever they want to the files. However, if someone does not know the network share there should be no problem right? My question is mostly with respect to protection from ransomware that finds and encrypts all files it can locate on a network. If a user at a network computer does not know of the share and has never accessed the share (and the share if hidden), could ransomware on that networked computer search and find this share or is this not possible? Is there a mechanism for a computer to find a hidden share other than knowing typing the specific file path? For context, I'm not worried about these files being accessed and read by others (they are encrypted) but I am worried about them being locked my ransomware someone else accidently introduces into the home network). Thanks!

I have a specific encrypted file that I'd like to be readily accessible in the event of a complete inability to access my Unraid server. I'd like to be able to get to this file (not open, it's encrypted) without any passwords. Is it possible to, on a regular and automated basis, back up this file from it's current location (say from an Unraid share) to the USB drive holding the Unraid OS? This way I could just pop this USB drive out, plug it into another computer, and access this file, and return the USB to my server when done to continuing using Unraid normally? 1) Will this impact proper functioning of Unraid OS? 2) Will this file also be backed up to Unraid "My Servers" along with the rest of the USB? If the above is problematic, I'd also settle for backing up to a different USB drive (though this isn't preferred as I won't have any sort of warning if the drive has failed). Any thoughts on accomplishing the above or similar alternatives? Thanks!

Thanks @Michael_P for explaining the DNS record change process. That was my understanding as well but it's good to have it verified! GoDaddy can do that, but I think what GoDaddy cannot do (that Cloudflare can) is run those redirections through their own proxy service such that others cannot see where the A record is actually pointing (so no one, except Cloudflare I suppose, will know the IP address of my server).

Yes, I've been trying to understand this better, and I'm in agreement. Certainly using Cloudflare as a "middleman" to hide my IP address is a good idea. So GoDaddy can't do this? I'm surprised, as I don't know who would be comfortable advertising their IP address in this way.

I've found instructions for using Cloudflare to make dns changes and create a subdomain as part of the process to make my Nextcloud (running in a container) internet facing. I'm wondering, do I NEED to use Cloudflare for this? I see GoDaddy has an option to create dns records and subdomains, will this be sufficient? I ask because my domain (from GoDaddy) is currently connected to Exchange as well and I suspect changing name servers to Cloudflare will break this. Though I can probably work through this it's a headache I'd like to avoid if possible. Thanks in advance!

To answer my own question above I learned I can set global disk shares to yes in the settings and now I have share of my disks I can access over SMB. My docker containers are on the cache disk. I understand there is some risk of data loss this way. Any suggestions what specifically what to watch out for in this case, or is there a better way to approach this? Thanks!

Hi, I have Home Assistant Core running in a docker container in Unraid. I'm trying to install a custom component by creating a "custom_components" folder in the main directory of the container (...appdata\Home-Assistant-Core\) and then copying the appropriate files here. My problem is that I don't know how to manipulate the file system of the docker container. I can view it in the Unraid web interface but I'm not sure the best way to create a folder or copy a file over from my desktop. I'm sure this is simple but I'm somewhat new to Unraid. Could somebody please recommend an approach that I can look into further? Thanks!

I've spent over an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't locate the /storage folder as well. Exact same problem: just needed to scroll down. The scroll bar was there, just not particularly visible for me I guess. Perhaps a slight UI adjustment is possible to make this more visible?

@Squid, I think you're right. Thanks! I'll probably just pull the drive. Swap drive assignments (parity to be fastest) and add in a SSD cache. See if that helps with data transfer performance.

I've relatively new to UNRAID and learning how to improve performance now. This utility is awesome! My server is cobbled together from old parts and I'm replacing / reassigning hardware as I can. When running a speed benchmark is there any reason the parity drive output would be expected look different than the smooth curve of the others? The array is running but there shouldn't be any data transfer or parity checks ongoing at this time. If the answer is no, then I guess I just have a really wonky drive?
