Hi guys, I use UserScripts to prepare/back up appdata (Dockers) and domains (VMs) and then i use Duplicacy to make backups. In Duplicacy i can then restore different versions from a dropdown. This way i can restore specific docker/VM back to Unraid. I'm an newbie at Unraid, rsync and tar so maybe this it totally wrong but it works for me. Please tell me if you have some idea's on how to improve (or maybe tell me to scrap it all 😄) DOCKERS #!/bin/bash # Get all running containers and store them in $CONTAINERS mapfile -t CONTAINERS < <( docker inspect --format='{{.Name}}' $(docker ps -q --no-trunc) | cut -c2- ) # show in logrun echo "Appdata backup started - Starting to shut down dockers" # Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal) /usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Notice [Script] -Appdata backup started" -i "normal" -d "Starting to shut down dockers" # Stop all running containers for container in "${CONTAINERS[@]}"; do echo "Stopping ${container}..." docker stop ${container} 1> /dev/null done # show in logrun echo "Dockers shutted down.

Hi guys, Maybe a stupid question but the field in the GUI called: Backup path i notices that in binhex it said /media and in the official one i said /backups My questions: 1 do i leave it at /backups or do i need to put some values here like /mnt/user/appdata/influxdb as im only looking to back up my InfluxDB? 2 i want this backup to be stored in the cloud if my server crashes. Is this possible or do i have to buy the InfluxDB Cloud service? Have a nice day

Hi guys, Can anyone please help me determine if my server is powerful enough for some serious gaming? Motherboard: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. B550-A PRO (MS-7C56) , Version 1.0 American Megatrends International, LLC., Version A.50 Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core @ 3800 MHz RAM: 64 GIB DDR4 Cache pool: 2 x Samsung_SSD_980_PRO_with_Heatsink_1TB Graphic: Just som crap to get picture. Here is were i probably need some help with what graphic card i should buy. I would really appreciate som input in wether my server is capable to run som cool games. Have a nice day.

Thank you so much @ghost82 Have a nice day

Hi guys, I'm sorry but i have to ask a question that might be stupid. I have a few VM's that i have pinned some RAM for but i just want to clearify that this RAM is not "locked" when the VM is not running? Have a nice day.

Please forgive me for asking stupid questions. I successfully installed Netdata (Docker) and i looks like all values are the same as unraid but i have to look in separate browserwindow. How does this work in this project? I would like all stuff in my unraid, is this possible? Best regards /Peter Carlsson

@DrBobke hi, I'm about to build a good machine. Can you tell me what hardware you ended up with?
