Hi, just wanted to share that I got 10Gb Ethernet on my unraid server using a PCIE gen 4 x1. My system is based on: - ASRock X670E Pro RS - AMD Ryzen 9 7900 I picked this motherboard as it has 5 nvme that I am using 4 of them (gen4 and gen5) to run an nvme based pool on top of HDD pools. But this motherboard has only 1 pcie x16 gen5 and 2 pcie x1 gen 4. the x1 are open ended. I used this card that I bought from the US which gen 4 compatible and it is able to give close to 10gbe. see below Sharing if useful to anybody in similar situation Card: https://www.owc.com/solutions/10g-ethernet-pcie-network-adapter Bought from: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1709735-REG/owc_owcpcie10gb_10g_ethernet_pcie_network.html Speedtest with the new card: showing two last records with 2.5gbe and the new 10gbe.

Dear All, I wasn't able to engage the last few months... I have revisited the setup I have and I discovered that current docker images I am using already manage now the iGPU of AMD Ryzen 9 7900. There are new settings available in the plex server to choose which GPU to use: iGPU vs an additional one I have installed nvidia Quad. I tried the last 24h and it worked perfectly. see some pictures below on the new setup I have. some posts mentioned that the transcoding can't manage HDR10 content but I found that this is not true. in my case the play is smooth and no bugs. What I noticed is that unraid still shows the CPU being used higher than with nvidia (around 25%) but you could see that iGPU is being used (bottom of the picture). I run a test with 5/6 streams simultaneously, and all was transcoding from 4K HDR10 to 1080p with no sweat. Pic 1: shows the docker setup with /dev/dri Pic 2: Shows the new settings under transcode in Plex server settings. Rafael is the code name of the iGPU in Ryzen 9 7900 Pic 3: Shows the dashboard while running one transcoding from 4K HDR10 to 1080p Pic 4: Shows unraid dashboard with realtime CPU usage (higher when using iGPU vs Quadro) I think it's because unraid can't distinguish CPU vs iGPU for Ryzen. and on the bottom of the picture the GPU monitoring using the GBU statistics plugin showing the usage on iGPU.

All good so far Mauro!

Hi there, sharing experience and a guide on how i got this working.. Unraid version: 6.12.0-rc5 Hardware: ASROCK X670E PRO RS + AMD Ryzen 9 7900 + DDR5 + Cache NMVE I have been trying to get the plex container to transcode using hw but was not succesful until I found somebody in Reddit referencing this dockerfile in github. This is the first time I build an image so after few tinkering I think I got it to work. Here are the steps I used incase anybody see this relevant. Github: skjnldsv/docker-plex As I said, this is my first time I build an image. I went into plex and created a text file dockerfileplex.txt and copied the code in github into it. I could see in the dockefile the person is loading the standard plex image but with a series of modules, libraries....I am not an expert on docker so dont understand 100% I used the following CLI command to build the image: docker build - < dockerfileplex.txt After few minutes, the image is created and you are given an image id: in my case this was: 07804fbb5c05 Then I used the usual code I use with the standard plex docker to create a new container but referencing the image I just created before: in my case this was: docker run -d \ --name=plex-amd \ --net=host \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e TZ=Etc/UTC \ -e VERSION=docker \ -e PLEX_CLAIM= `claim-GLgDsgXXXXXXXXXXX_` \ -v /mnt/cache/appdata/plex-amd:/config \ -v /mnt/user/Media:/media \ --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri \ --restart unless-stopped \ 07804fbb5c05 You can see the new plex container in the list of containers in unraid and you can stop start restart as usual. once this was up and the setup of the server is up, hw transcoding is working and I managed to get 3/4 streams working on the same time. I installed AMD Radeontop tool and I show below the usage of the iGPU for transcoding...when that picture was taken only one stream was on. Ig any question, please comment and will do my best to guide on the process above.

Any luck on this?

Check this out....using VMware Workstation 17 Pro or Player... Still battling to get it working in Hyper-V though....the USB passthrough is a challenge. I can pass PCI with USB/GPU/Network but so far can't boot and I see in forums that Consumer SKU of WIn 11 does have/support DDA.

Hi Wanted to share outcome of a week worth of fidling with new hardware: ASrock X670E + AMD Ryzen 7900 + DDR5 Initially planned to install unraid natively and then run few Windows VMs with passthrough of NMVE disk and onboard Video or Quadro Nvidia P400 GPU. Plan did not go as expected as I faced a lot of issues leading to reboots, BSOD on Windows VMs....I gave up in the end and tried to find a way to leverage the new bought hardware before my wife show me the door out. I hope these are teething issues related to new hardware that will be fixed later. So I came up with a plan to install Windows 11 Natively on the new hardware. This very stable and no issues faced at all. Then using VMware Workstation 17 Player initially then Pro later (bought cheap license) I was able to do the following: - Create an unraid VM - with Virtual NIC (e1000e) and bridged it to the motherboard NIC. Now i get Speedtest almost as good as reality: 2.2-2.5Gb/s up and down - 3 Sata Hard disks passed through - 1 NVME Hard Disk passed through and used as cache - 1 Virtual USB Controller to which I attach the Unraid flash - 1 Virtual CD/DVD to be able to boot into it and boot into USB: click here for a guide on this trick Docker works perfectly so far using SpeedTest and LuckyBuckup We will see how stability will play out...but I will report back if any issues

Hi, When I am connecting remotly to my server. If I click on VM VNC I connect normally as the URL has the myunraid....BUT if I click on a docker container webui nothing is loading as the URL is pointing to the local address: 192.168.x.x and not to the remote URL ...myunraid.... Is there a way to configure that when in remote access, docker containers webuis are pointing to the remote URL and not the local one? thanks

thank you @BlkNTan, will try later tonight

I started getting this in my daily checks. Any idea how to resolve this? The server has been restarted few times without solving. Thank you! mahomelab-diagnostics-20220322-1112.zip

Thanks @itimpi. Really appreciate. I redefined a new image and reloaded all containers and all in fine now. thnak you!

Upgraded to 6.10.0 RC4 and now the docker Service dailes to start. i attached the diagnostics file. mahomelab-diagnostics-20220320-0845.zip

Finally this issue was solved for me similar to what Mirai mentioned above. Th elatest nvidia driver for P400 Quadro solves the probelem for a Windows VM. I have also a an Nvidia NVS 510 and for this one it's not working yet. the latest driver is about 1 month old vs the P400 one. so I hope it will be fixed in the futue. I moved the NVS 510 to Plex container for now. and wokring with P400 on the windows VM on 6.10.0 RC3 Thank you all.

Hi Any resolution or progress on this issue. I am facing the same. upgraded to 6.10.0 RC2 and both Quadro NS 510 and P400 show Code 43 now. If I downgrade back to 6.9.2 all works perfectly. appreciate your help

facing the smae issue bro. any resolution yet?
