It was not a typo but I have since disabled it.

It's pretty odd that Unraid network settings says the MAC address for the server is 90:e2:ba:2e:01:bd and if I go into my UniFi console and block that device, the server functions normally. But if I block the mystery device that shares the same IP (16:5d:31:7f:75:65) the server becomes unresponsive. Honestly the only reason I'm looking into this is the fact that UniFI Console shows a message that two devices are sharing the same IP.

macvlan is the only way docker containers show up in Unifi so I want to keep that. I did enable bridging and restarted eth0 but I still have two MAC address for the server. Before the server had 02:e1:d6:c9:90:76 (unknown mac I'm trying to figure out) and 90:e2:ba:2e:01:bd (mac address listed in network settings) and now I the first one changed to 16:5d:31:7f:75:65 and 90:e2:ba:2e:01:bd. If I block 16:5d:31:7f:75:65, the UI becomes unresponsive until I unblock it. If I block the MAC address listed in network settings 90:e2:ba:2e:01:bd, it makes not difference.

I was recently going to my UniFi Devices list and noticed that Unraid had two lines listed with the same IP address. I am trying to figure out where this MAC address is coming from. ifconfig shows it listed as "vhost0". vhost0's IP always matches eth0 which is the fiber connection I intend to use. Supermicro MB has three BbE ports and I have a 2 port Intel SFP+ NIC that has only has one fiber connection to the network. I have checked all docker containers and VM for this MAC address but can't be found. tower-diagnostics-20240331-1512.zip

Currently I have a tower that doesn't have any drive bays. I have my HBA cables running out the back and connecting to my 3 HDD enclosures. This is creating issues with disk errors and therefore I am looking to move to my first rack mount solution. I'm thinking I should get a disk shelf for all my drives and a 3 or 4U my server. Currently I have the capacity for 15 drives with the goal of have 20 drive bays. My first question is, would anyone recommend against this or recommend a better solution? Second question is, how would I connect the server to the disk shelf? I want use a single connection for all my drives if possible.

Ok so SAS and SATA drives can use the same cable but the protocol used depends on the drive.

But will the 7 pin SATA connector support 12Gbps when connected to a SAS drive like in my use case? Or does a 12Gbps connection require a different cable? I’m thinking the SATA connector is a “bottle neck”. It’s called SATA for a reason but I don’t know and therefore, the reason I’m making this post.

I am trying to google the answer but I don’t I’m uncertain of what I’m finding. Just because SAS drives physically fit in the cage I’m thinking sellers are saying it supports SAS 12Gbps speeds as in the backplane has a the connector for both SATA and SAS drives.

Can SFF cables like SFF-8643 to SATA breakout cables support a 12Gbps connection? Being they connect using a SATA 7 pin connector, wouldn’t that mean it will “work” but at a 6Gbps speed? This is how mine is currently setup: LSI SAS9300-16i —> SFF-8643 to SATA —-> Samsung MZ-ILS3T80 3.84TB SAS SSD inside a NORCO SS-500

What does the UI use when you change "enable docker" to no in docker manager?

Is there a guide to do this?

I'm attempting to make my own backup script. This is my script: /etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop && sleep 1m && tar -zcf /mnt/remotes/TRUENAS.HOME.ARPA_truenas/appdata_backup_script/appdata_backup-$(date +%Y%m%d_T_%H_%M).tar.gz -C /mnt/user/ PC\ Drive && /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start && sleep 3m && find /mnt/remotes/TRUENAS.HOME.ARPA_truenas/appdata_backup_script/* -mtime +45 -delete This is the output: Tower# /etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop && sleep 1m && tar -zcf /mnt/remotes/TRUENAS.HOME.ARPA_truenas/appdata_backup_script/appdata_backup-$(date +%Y%m%d_T_%H_%M).tar.gz -C /mnt/user/ PC\ Drive && /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start && sleep 3m && find /mnt/remotes/TRUENAS.HOME.ARPA_truenas/appdata_backup_script/* -mtime +45 -delete stopping dockerd ... waiting for docker to die ... starting dockerd ... Tower# It doesn't get past the stoping docker. Can anyone help? This is my first script BTW.

I'm trying to resolve nextcloud.home.arpa locally, to the docker container. I can access nextcloud from anywhere via the my WAN domain. I want an internal domain.

For the past few days I have been attempting to make so that if I type in the browser address bar, for example "nextcloud.home.arpa" pfSense would resolve that domain to a local IP, 10.10.111.3:8666 in this case. I feel it's possible but I can't get it working. I just want to use domains because I can't remember all the IP's and port numbers. Domain override works but you can't enter port numbers.

Yeah I forgot about that tab. It is indeed even slower.

The thing is, there isn't a problem with it being "slow". I was just attempting to see if I could make it "faster" when clicking different tabs and such. The slowest is when I click the docker tab. Again its not a problem per-say but I didn't know if I could move what resource to SSD based storage to make it load a bit snappier.

I added another SSD pool with the intention of putting whatever files the Unraid webUI uses on it to make the webUI pages as fast as possible. What files can I put on the new SSD pool to accomplish this? I'm only aware of the system share but if there are any other files, please let me know?

Thank you

I want to have a 10Gig connection between all 10Gig capable devices on my network without creating any other issues. Currently, pfSense and Unraid are the 10Gig devices persistently connected but I'm anticipating adding another server as a backup. I'm asking what the proper structure of a network should looking like.

If I provision a myunraid.net SSL certificate I can't access my Cloudflare app using cloudflare tunnels. Is it possible to have both work like they should?

Ultimately I'm wanted to know if I have my network setup "correctly"? I have read about "layers" of networks and also about "pyramid" network setups. I'm nearly certain that I'm overthinking it but that's the point of the thread; I'm asking to how should a network be setup? There are going to be folks in the same situation that will be able to search and find this post but this thread is getting off-topic. The reason I added a 10Gig switch is because I'm planning to add a backup server to my network and that requires a fast connection.

Switch Aggregation - https://rb.gy/stzpv Intel X520-DA1 fiber to Unraid X520-DA2 pfSense, switch, Unraid and computer I want a more capable network. Not sure what to make of this?

So right now I'm running a fiber line (10G) from my pfSense box to my switch (Ubiquiti 10G).

I have trying to optimize my network as I feel it might not be the "proper" way to set it up. I'm just looking for some information on where network devices should be placed. I don't understand the levels of a network and that seems to be what I see a lot. For example: should my LAN go directly into my fastest switch then branch off from there to slower devices? Or should it go to slower devices first then the faster devices?
