For the Scrutiny container do I need to seperately install InfluxDB Docker container or does Scrutiny pull everything it needs? Creating the container I just manually created the /appdata/scrutiny/config and /appdata/scrutiny/influxdb dirs. Once it pulled the image I restarted my server and it found all my storage devices. There are now files in both those dirs - scrutiny.db, influxd.bolt, influxd.sqlite etc.

Not sure if anyone will read this but I just discovered that in BitWarden if you change the Match Detection of a URI to Host instead of Default Match Detection it won't suggest passwords that don't match the trailing Port. That's good enough for me that I don't need to mess around with anything else.

Ah so it's JC21's container, but you've created a CA template with some preset paths etc? (not downplaying your contribution, just trying to understand!) Jlesage's container is actually referenced on the NPM Website, which had me confused https://nginxproxymanager.com/third-party/

Hi, hoping to get a reverse proxy up and running today on my Unraid box. Still haven't decided between NPM, SWAG, Caddy etc, although leaning towards NPM right now. Just curious what makes this container "Official"? As far as I can see it's not mentioned on the Github, dockerhub or NPM website.

Thanks that's interesting. Time for a dive down a rabbit hole I might try something like this. I really just want it for the ease of my password manager! Having everything pointed to 192.168...... works but it's cumbersome.

I used to access my old router at dlink.local - I thought nothing of it because I figured my router just handled it and intercepted the url. I've recently started using unraid and the url tower.local just worked out of the box with no input from me. How does this happen? Is it possible to set my Docker containers up like that as well? Sonarr.local or krusader.local for example.

I thought the UHD 630 could do tone mapping but as soon as it's enabled it's offloading to the CPU. I'm not really planning on ever transcoding 4k movies (the library is not shared with anyone but myself) but I don't like when things aren't working when they're supposed to 🤣 Edit: Seems like it's been an issue with Plex for a bit over a month now. I'd like to play around with the newly added support for the "Editions" tag so I'm going to just disable tonemapping for a while and hope Plex gets it fixed soon.

Ah, well if it's an issue everyone is having and not just me then I'll live with it. They've introduced stuff like edition tagging within the last 6 weeks so I'll stay with a current release. I'm new to Unraid - just trying to add one container at a time and make sure everything is working before adding a whole stack and trying to figure out what's causing issues.

Thank you. Talk about making things too complicated for myself. I'm on 6.10.3 so I guess I'll just spin up the container with the Extra Parameters line and see if it works. @linuxserver.io I think it would be great if you could edit the first post in this thread. It was the first thing I came across trying to do my own resarch and I guess it's out of date by a few Unraid versions now.

Hi, I'm a little confused - finding conflicting information on google. New build, trying to install Plex and use Intel hardware transcoding. What is the current/up to date method for loading the driver? First post of this thread says edit the go file but I'm reading elsewhere not to do that and instead to do touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf Which is the best method (and why) EDIT: In the 6.9 Release notes: Should the first post of this thread be updated? Seems like Unraid recommend the touch method instead of editing the go file.

Hi there, I'm just dipping my toes into my first Unraid build. I've had a Personal Backup/Plex server running for a few years on ancient hardware and Ubuntu server 18.04. I recently decided I wanted an upgrade, and Intel QuickSync Quicksync was definitely something I planned on building around. Hardware: In terms of room to grow, I still have another M.2/NVMe slot, 2x 2.5" Sata bays and 7x 3.5" bays. The old setup had the Ubuntu Server OS on the 1TB Red, and the 6 + 8TB drives joined with Mergerfs. They were mounted in Ubuntu at /mnt/storage and approx 80% full. I bought the 2 10TB Red Plus drives on sale recently, one will extend my media storage and the other will be a parity drive. I installed one of the new 10TB drives into the Ubuntu machine, and managed to copy everything from the mergerfs directory onto that single drive. That allowed me to pull the 6 + 8tb drives and run Unraid's Unassigned Devices Preclear Plugin on them and make sure they were still in good health without wiping all my data. I installed Unraid to a flash drive and spun it up. I could only find a USB 3.2 Drive, but there's a 2.0 internal header on the motherboard so I'll eventually plug it in there when I get an adapter. I've installed the following plugins: Community Applications Dynamix File Manager My Servers Unassigned Devices Unassigned Devices Plus Unassigned Devices Preclear. Before installing any Docker containers, I stopped the service and changed Docker data-root to Directory. I've read some people having issues with the docker vdisk and this just seems like it eliminates some of that down the line. That's pretty much as far as I've got. I've read two trains of thought on setting up shares - the "traditional" way with separate shares for Movies, TV Shows etc and the TRaSH way with a top level folder for the share and media types nested within. I'd like to move my Plex db over from the old machine, and the TRaSH method seems to be the better option for that. I'll eventually move the 1TB drive over and make a separate share for personal backups that I want to have different permissions/access to. storage ├── usenet │ ├── movies │ ├── music │ └── tv ├─ 4k Movies ├─ Movies ├─ TV Shows I'm about to use rsync -avh to copy everything from the old server onto the new one over SMB. I already have SMB set up. Everything on the LAN is 1GB wired so I don't think either rsync -z or setting up NFS is necessary - HDD Read/Write will be the most likely bottleneck. After that I'll start installing Plex and *arr containers and building parity. Is there anything I've obviously done wrong or forgotten to do? Any recommendations I haven't thought of yet? Thanks, Dave

Stress test is what I'm after I think. I need to wipe the disks anyway as they're ext4 not xfs

Searched this thread but didn't really find what I was after. I'm completely new to Unraid (in fact I haven't even booted it up yet, still doing research) so bear that in mind if my question isn't phrased as well as it could be. Is this plugin in any way a replacement for badblocks? From watching a Spaceinvader video (this one) I see you can do a pre-read, post-read and define a number of cycles. If not, is there a recommended way of testing new drives for "infant mortality" with Unraid? I've used badblocks in the past but it's a pain in the ass, I had to use all sorts of workarounds for bigger drives due to 32bit limitations and I don't remember what I did (I'm ready to leave no gui Ubuntu server behind forever). Seems like it's an outdated piece of software that people are clinging to.

I do still have the enclosure. I may be wrong here but I was just anticipating way worse transfer speeds if I put the drive back into it vs the HBA card or even the mobo SATA port. Would the Unassigned Devices plugin allow me to hook them up internally or does it have to be USB? I don't know how rational it is but part of me wants all of that "old data" on the "old drives". It would definitely be quicker and less convoluted to just have the old data on the newer drives...

I've finally got together all the hardware I need for my new build and from what I've read, Unraid seems to be the right OS for me. There are some other things I'd like to run on it but Plex/Jellyfin will be the main focus. It's taken a while to cobble it all together, and a lot of it was second hand to fit in my budget. Specs, if it matters: The only Hardware I'm reusing is the Dell H200 card and the data drives - 1x 6TB HGST Deskstar NAS and 1x Shucked 8TB My Book They're both around 70-80% full, formatted as ext4 and "joined" with mergerfs. They're a few years old now but the SMART Data is all good and I'd like to not only keep using them... But keep the data. I've also bought 2x 8TB WD Red Plus drives - one for Parity and the other as a new data drive. What's the best method/software to do this? Obviously at some point I need to wipe those drives to move from ext4 to xfs. I also understand Unraid can group files on a per season/series basis. Currently mergerfs isn't doing that for me, I'd like to get that working if possible but it's not a deal breaker. The new hardware isn't tied to any OS right now but it has no RAID (HBA) card right now. What I'm thinking right now is to first format the 2 new drives as xfs, add them to the old Ubuntu server, copy (mirror) and verify everything. Then move the 2 OG drives to Unraid, do a clear there, copy everything back to them, clear the 2 newer ones and finally add the 2 new drives - one as parity and one as data. It seems pretty convoluted but I don't know how else to make it work. Hopefully I'm missing a real dumb/easy (and quicker) solution. The new drives are bigger/faster than the old ones ((the shucked drive is 5400rpm vs the 7200 new ones) ) so I feel like using one for parity is the best option.

I'm looking to start a new home server build and want to pin down my options for a CPU first, and take it from there. I've been trying to look stuff up on google all evening but whatever I just keep finding the same Reddit/Unraid forum threads that aren't really answering my question. Unraid will be baremetal and containers added to it. My concerns are not too unique - obviously I want to find the sweet spot where it's not drawing too much power/costing too much to run/making too much heat (especially at idle) but doesn't get bogged down performance wise when I need it. I'm also trying to balance what I need today with what I might need in the future. If that future use case is 5 years away then maybe it makes more sense to upgrade/rebuild everything down the road and cheap out today. What I want to do immediately (what I'm currently doing on an old system, headless Ubuntu server): Plex: 8-10 transcodes, ability to do 1-2 4k transcodes with tone mapping (I only make my 4k library available to myself and fully intend to direct play everything but I'd like a fallback) Jellyfin: Same as above. I'm close to switching but need a few more client apps to mature -arr Suite etc: Movies/TV Shows, NZBGet, Dropbox Replacement: Nextcloud or similar What I want to do soon Home Assistant VM: VM rather than container for Supervisor - Thermostat, maybe a single (doorbell) camera, lightbulbs etc, simple stuff for now Some Networking Stuff: I have a TP-Link Omada setup, the controller is currently dockerised (but if/when it goes on sale I'll probably buy the hardware controller), might add something like a Pi-Hole or Adguard Home container What I'd like to down down the line Add some more cameras, maybe introduce a Coral card, Frigate/Blue Iris I don't think all this is especially demanding. I can't figure out if having the iGPU available for Plex/Jellyfin transcoding means it's unavailable to the HASS VM for cameras? Do I need to look at something like GVT-G or SR-IOV for that (I haven't researched that yet). From a transcoding standpoint I think anything Coffee Lake/8th Gen onwards with UHD 630 is basically the same? I don't know if AV1 is really that big a deal, especially with the issues of 11th/12th Gen support today. 12th Gen Performance/Efficiency cores sound great on paper but it sounds like a headache right now. How many cores (/threads) do I need to look at? In Coffee Lake there's Pentium Gold 2c4t, i3 4c4t or i5 6c6t. I don't know how much it matters, but there's ECC support on something like the i3-9100, but not the i5-8500 And then there's price. Looking at used on ebay, low end prices inc delivery to Canada G5500 - $130 from China i3-8100 - $105 from US i3-8300 - $115 from US i3-9100 - $110 from China i5-8500 - $80 from US i5-8600 - $110 from US So it seems like at least from a price/performance point alone the 8500 is the clear winner, but there's no ECC (again, not sure how much of a dealbreaker it is). Is it worth looking at a T series for power saving? What about going to 9th Gen for Jellyfin's Low Power Encoding? Is there anything else I'm missing? Thanks for reading my insane wall of text, would love any input.

Thanks. I'm looking to build myself a new Plex / Storage / HASS box. Doesn't seem to be any value on eBay Canada right now for used Supermicro chassis.

Where did you find the Chenbro in Canada?
