there's no anything on the screen after the BIOS screen

I've found the problem, it was related to fast boot option & uefi boot settings of my motherboard's UEFI.

I don't know why I didn't discover it earlier. I've made some changes to boot settings and now it boots correctly on 6.10.3 too.

you don't even see the Unraid boot menu?

Yes.

Maybe it wasn't properly written to USB drive or something...

I just clicked update & reboot via the web interface as usual and it wasn't bootable after that.

This update bricked my system. I attached monitor and there's no anything on the screen after the BIOS screen.

Network card was blinking but I wasn't able to ping it.

 

Thankfully I made boot drive backup right before the update. So I flashed it again and now it works fine (on 6.10.2).

Unfortunately I made backup right during the parity check (scheduled on 15th of every month) and it started another parity check right after the boot and instantly found 1 error...

I hope it's some bug when parity starts after the boot, because it finished today without any errors, before I upgraded to 6.10.3.

Hi @timmyx, great guide, managed to configure my own setup following it.

Note: I tried to add /settings and /workdir through the docker options (see below) but they wouldn't work, so I forced them in the script

That's because unraid will create pre-configured container with a docker create command and you will need to start it with a docker start command to apply settings.

That way the run script basically boils down to docker start -a youtube-dl and you can edit everything else with unraid GUI.

You can read about those docker commands here:

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/create/

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/start/

 

I also had to modify the container and add aria2 downloader because youtube roughly throttles my downloading speed after ~10 videos. Example settings for this are:

--external-downloader 'aria2c'
--external-downloader-args '--console-log-level=warn -c -x 16 -s 16 -k 1M'

It's not great either, but at least I can get 1MiB/s (without aria it's only about 50KiB/s).
