Thanks, this seemed to have fixed my issues!

Hi! First of all thank you for this plugin, I really like the option to use tailscale without docker. I have one problem though, but I am not really sure if this is related to the plugin or some misconfiguration on my side. I host SteamCMD-Game Server for a couple of friends. For this i forwared the games required ports in my router and everything works fine as long a tailscale is disabled. After I enable Tailscale, the game server is not accessible from my friends. The Unraid GUI and other Docker Containers work for me (using tailscale on my phone or forwarding the UI with cloudflare tunnels), and also the problem does not occur instantaniously. (I suspect the nighty reconnect of my internet connection triggers the problem...) Do you have any idea what this is related to? Thanks!

So I fixed this by changing the docker setting back from directoy to image. Then I redownloaded all images and restored all containers. Does anyone know of I now have the old images laying some where? Should I delete them? And should I be concerned by the zfs error?

Hi Everyone! I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere already, but I could not find a solution to my problem. After my Flash drive died, I used a backup to create a new boot drive. After everything seemed to be fine, I realized that some Containers were not running (e.g Nextcloud or Home Assistant). I tried starting them manually, but got the message "Execution error - Image can not be deleted, in use by other container(s)". I looked everywhere but could not find another container that was using the Image so I tried deleting the container in order to recreate it. When I do this, I get another error message "Execution error - Server error". So after this, the container cannot be edited (Option is not available in the context menu), started or deleted. I tried force-updating, which either results in the error message "Configuration not found. Was this container created using this plugin?" or in other cases the error message "Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/Home-Assistant" is already in use by container "af29e894be9aac393302a4f5300f47dd19494ad1aef81ded8b605378c2421ce9". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name." and an orphanaged image So I tried to go the manual route using the console: This error message finally gave me the feeling, that something went wrong when I converted my cache drive (nvme-a-main) to zfs a couple o f weeks ago. ( I am using a directory instead of an image for docker) To me it seems like there are multiple indipendent problems occuring, the most important beeing some problems with the file system? I'd be very glad for any tip or pointer in the right direction as im now clueless on how to continue. Should I upload the diagnostics files?

Hi @ich777, I'm havin some trouble using LANCache-Prefill. For a couple of days I cannot change which games to precache from steam. The container is running fine as configured and games are downloaded to the LANCache. The problem occurs when I try to select/deselect games. I used the Unraid WebConsole as well as SSH from my Windows machine: Could you have a look if I'm doing something wrong? Thanks in advance

I had the same issue a couple of days ago. Uninstalling the plug in fixed it for me too.

No it seems to keep running - I'm sorry. I understood from your guide, that I need to make sure to manually start the exporter again. But if i stop PiHole and then start it again, the exporter seemed to stay awake.

Quick question: is there a command to manually enable the pihole exporter? I see, that i can add a custom start script to the backup tool - could I use this to enable the exporter after restarting pihole?

Thanks for the tip - Can this cause the WEB-GUI and SSH to become unresponsive? Another thing I remembered is, I get Oout Of Memory Errors quite often... Maybe this is the cause?

I attached the latest one... Is there a difference between these files and the ones I sent before, that came from the diagnostics tool. Also I enabled writing the syslog to flash - would this be of any help? unraid-diagnostics-20221119-0005.zip

The folder looks like this: Which file do you mean?

It happened again... something I noticed is, that whenever I have to kill my server, after the reboot it starts the parity check. This seems strange to me, because I turned of scheduled checks...

I think the HDMI was correct (I unplugged the graphics card for debugging reasons now). I tried "waking" up the system with mouse and keyboard, but no success... So now after "hard resetting" the machine I have access again and pulled the diagnostics files again. Maybe this is worth something 😅 unraid-diagnostics-20221118-2046.zip

Normally the monitor turns off after a couple of seconds if it receives no signal (I tried the PCIe-graphics card first 😉). With the mainboard HDMI the monitor seemed to receive a black image. Do you mean this, or should it just turn off if the port is not initialized?

Little update... I connected a monitor to the unraid server and instead of the usual text I just have a black screen.

Hello Community! I have a really strange problem with Unraid. Sometimes at random I can't access the WEB-GUI or connect via SSH. The crazy thing about this is, that the docker containers and VMs are still working. For example, I can use Home Assistant (VM) or connect to my FileRun-Instance (Docker) and it even seems like it is downloading games to the SteamCache (Docker)... But when I try to go to the web login at my servers ip it takes a very long time until the error 500 appears. If I try to connect via SSH it stops after I entered my password like this: I had the problems for a couple of days now and it really makes me feel uncomfortable because I have to pull the plug on my server... I have attached the diagnistics file from yesterday after I restarted unraid (by unplugging the server 😵 ) but I am not even sure if this contains helpful information? I would be very thankfull if anyone could help me figure this out! unraid-diagnostics-20221116-1947.zip

Okay so i guess I understand how the log works and what to expect. Now the only problem ist the original one, which ist that only a small amount of games ist beeing downloaded in each run. Do you think there ist a chance to find the reason without @josh5 ? I never had problems when I used a VM to prefill the cache.

Hi @ich777 sorry for the confusion... I did some testing and found out what's wrong with my logfiles. It seems that only the output of the container start and the cron jobs is logged to file. Whenever I open a terminal and connect to the docker container, nothing that happens is logged to the file. Also sometimes the log in the file does not contain the latest steps, that means it's simply cut of. Like for example the container ran tonight until 1:05. This is the end of the content of the logfile: This morning I accessed the container via ssh in order to manually trigger the prefill. It downloaded 1 game but nothing of this is in the logfiles. After this I just restarted the container to trigger the "prefill on start" and the log that I access via the unraid web UI shows this: As you can see, I has some of the text from tonights run at the end of it... Could this have to do with accessing the container via terminal? Could this break the logging somehow? I did this and it works fine - thank you so much. Hi @RiDDiX, thank you for the tip. I should implement something linke this too. Can you tell me how you accomplished this? I searched for a setting in docker or the container itself but could not find anything. If you could give me a hint, I'd be very greatful! steam_prefill 20221117-1136.log

Hmm somehow it stuck now and all the information remained in the logfile 😕 The date would still be a nice feature.

So let it sit for a while and tried to figure out what is happening - without luck. I set the Prefill-Schedule to hourly, but its still not finished downloading. This might be because I selected too many games, but I suspect there is another problem, as the log shows some error messages. Maybe the error messages origin in the download not being complete before the next cron job is triggered? It would also be helpful to store the complete log, I already set LOGCLEANUP to false, but whenever the container is edited the logfile in appdata is wiped. Is there a chance you could make the logfile persistent and add the date to the timestamps?

Great thank you! I already deleted the LANCache and the Prefill containers including the corresponding appdata-folders... I'll try again and let you know if something changes. I'm using the LANCache-Bundle by Josh5. Is that okay, or should I use another one?

Is there a way to improve the Lancaches speed, even temporarily? I run both containers on the same Unraid-Server with a Ryzen 7 5700G. So that should be enough "horse power" right? When rechecking the logs, it seems most of the time the first download of a cron job suceeds, but the following fail. This means during each cron job only one (or not even one at all) game is beeing downloaded.

I added that, but it didn't help when running the cron job from "./SteamPrefill select-apps". Yes, my Internet works fine for the rest of my services. I enabled this now. Just to be clear - this is only for debugging purposes, right? It seems to download a game that was previously not available. I'll give feedback after its finished. Could there be a difference between the cron job and the force update option?

Hi @ich777! First of all thank you for creating the LANCache-Prefill template, I was running a VM just for filling the LANCache up until now. I'm trying your container but I get severall errors when running the cron job after selecting my games. It seems like some of the games are not working as expected. Can you think of a reason for this? edit: These are the three errors I get: Request for manifests failed. Retrying... Request for manifests failed. Retrying... Unexpected download error : Unable to download manifests! Skipping... Manifest request timed out. Retrying... Manifest request timed out. Retrying... Manifest request timed out. Retrying... Unexpected download error : Unable to download manifests! Skipping... Unexpected download error : Unable to get available CDN servers from Steam! Best regards!

Die you figure ist out eventually? I have a similar problem...
