    Wow. Just found out my appdata has not backed up for 6+ months. Not great!

     

    That's the old, deprecated plugin. You should uninstall it and install this new one, named "Appdata Backup" in Community Applications.

    That gets rid of the progress bar but does not show me the result. I should be recieving a api json response. Is there anyway to see that response in the output window?

     

    I just created a new script with: 

    #!/bin/bash

docker exec binhex-krusader curl -s https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1

    And I get the output: 

    {
  "userId": 1,
  "id": 1,
  "title": "delectus aut autem",
  "completed": false
}

     

    Does that not work for you?

    So I have a simple script that runs a curl command within a docker container using docker exec command. However the output I get is just a download progress before finishing. It works just fine however I'd like the output to show me the returned json from the api call. Running the same command in a shell shows me the response. So I'm wondering how to have the userscript also return the response instead of just showing a download. 

    docker exec <container> curl -s <url>

     

    Poor SMB performance

    OK. Just to be clearer, it is due to the way SMB is configured/implemented/whatever on Unraid by default.
    Most of us have not played with those settings. Using anything else than SMB for transfers or any other system than Unraid with SMB all pretty much max out the Gigabit network.

     

    That was the whole point of my post above. I guess I didn't make it clearer: if there are better settings to be made, why are they not set by default on new setups?

     

    In my specific case, I tried modifying the SMB settings, but only got worse results (15Mb/s or less with Multichannel for ex.).

     

    As I said earlier, I have made my peace with that. I don't care and don't really need more. But claims that there are "no problems" with the way Unraid configures SMB by default and trying to have *users*/ go through a complex game of trials and errors is just not right. If "optimal" settings exist, why are they not set by default and/or some warnings issued?

    You didn't read the comment correctly. @itimpi explained that it's not an issue with SMB itself, but rather how your Unraid system is configured (settings unrelated to SMB): mainly if Turbo Write is enabled or not. In addition to that it's due to how the main array and parity works in Unraid (compared to e.g. RAID) which doesn't really allow for super high write speeds (especially with Turbo Write disabled).

    You are the first for me :) Dont stop -> No: Stops it (default). Dont Stop -> Yes, leave them running. Maybe I adapt the wording in a future update.

     

    Something like this would make more sense, IMO:

    Thanks for a great plugin. I would love to have a global exclude, like the old plugin. In that one, I had e.g.:

      

    .cache,.caches,*.log,*.log.*,*.tmp,cache,Cache,caches,Caches

     

    Although, since the exclude paths need to be absolute now, why have them per container anyway? I feel like it would be easier to maintain excludes in a single place. Or am I missing something?

    Annoying me? It seems to me that you do not know how to interpret the commentary. Of course it doesn't bother me at all, but if someone asks for a package because it is not in the nerdtools tool I don't think the solution is to tell him to use another one. If you really want to help and tell him to install a package quickly it is as easy as downloading it in the path /boot/extra and run an upgradepkg -install-new package-name.txz, this is to provide a solution.

     

     

    I'd argue using an Unraid plugin is easier and more maintainable than the manual method.

    `un-get install tcpdump` is pretty simple and `un-get upgrade` is extremely useful.

    Besides, you didn't even mention where to download the package so that's not particularly helpful.

    A user requests to add a package to nerdtools and the only solution you can think of is to tell him to use another system?

    If they need it now, this is a fast way to get it (and many other packages not available in NerdTools). I'm not sure what you're taking issue with.

    Hello,

     

    Curious if anyone has converted their user scripts folder to a git repo to keep things in sync? Not sure how the USB would handle .git and other special files. Since this is effectively code, I'm hoping to keep it up in my git repos if possible.

     

     

    If you use the official Unraid USB backup, it's already a git repo.

    Confused as to why this is considered 'unmaintained'. The maintainer updated this 15 days ago on Github https://github.com/dmacias72/unRAID-NerdPack/commit/553645649225a8eb36e53e8672abcbe8a9bc4e21
     

    Wish this would be added back to Community Apps since NerdTools is missing so many essential packages and until it at least has feature parity, it shouldn't be considered a replacement. You can find the actual plg for nerdpack here if you still need it.

    Yeah, there was a commit 16 days ago and it contains e.g. the same version of fish shell they had for Unraid 6.8. That's version 3.10, which was released 1 052 days ago. Although, NerdTools doesn't have fish shell at all, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I just read that binhex tells that it breaks the docker. I will try to find it :)

    [Support] binhex - qBittorrentVPN - Page 81 - Docker Containers - Unraid

    here you can see it.

    You forgot the link, but if you're referring to this then that's something else. Pause/resume is not the same thing as stop/start. I back that container data up every night and it has never "broke".
