  1. I don't know whether this is a bug or if it was designed this way, but I noticed when I rearrange my dashboard after updating to 6.12 the changes seemed to get lost after the first time I logged out and closed my browser window. Maybe it's because I was browsing in Private Mode in my browser at the time (which I do quite often), it seems to work fine in regular browsing. Is there a way to save changes onto the server instead of using a cookie (which I'm guessing is what Unraid currently does)? That way, even if I cleared my cookies on my computer for whatever reason, the changes wouldn't be lost.

  2. I'm wondering if there's a way to trigger a script which will send a Telegram notification when the server has booted, e.g. "unRAID server has booted" or similar. Just something to let me know that unRAID is ready to access if/when I had to shutdown/reboot the server.

     

    Any ideas?

  3. OK I've got everything mostly working, but I can't get Nextcloud going. For some reason, after reinstalling from previous apps with all the same settings as before, I get an 'internal server error' message when I browse to the login page. I copied all the appdata over from the old server beforehand but it doesn't seem to be working.

     

    So far everything else seems to be working, just need to finish copying over the rest of my data.

  4. I've just installed Audiobookshelf and set it up with its own static IP address on my network, and I can access it both internally and externally (via DNS hostname) through a web browser. While the Android app connects fine if I add the LAN IP, it won't connect via my external hostname. All it says is 'Failed to ping server' when I try to add it. I've tried both over WiFi connected to the same network, and over my data connection. Could it be because I'm accessing this through a reverse proxy (HAProxy) and trying to connect via HTTPS, or is there something else I should check?

     

    EDIT: Rebooting my phone seemed to fix it. Weird...

    I don't see any mention of VM's so I would assume that you don't have any.

    Correct

    Unraid is generally very hardware agnostic if you are not using VM's.   The exception being if you are using more than one NIC.  In that case, you might have to make some changes to the network configuration.

    I only use one NIC

    One more concern could concern BIOS vs UEFI booting.  Some modern boards default to UEFI while some very old boards have only BIOS booting.  You can tell by looking the EFI folder on the boot drive.  If it is named EFI, the boot process will use UEFI.  If named EFI-, it will use BIOS.  A simple rename of this directory/folder will change which boot process is used.  Often, you can select which boot option is used by a setting in the Motherboard's BIOS.

    My current server boots via UEFI and my new one should too, but that folder name change trick is useful to know

    By the way, You can just shutdown the present server. Pull the flash/boot drive.  Plug it in the new computer and boot it up.  Have a look to see if you have any problems booting up to a login prompt.  Then see if you can access the GUI.  Look at the various setup screens and see if anything looks awry.  Don't make any changes to the setup until you are sure everything looks like it will work.  (Don't worry about Dockers at this point...)   IF something is awry (which I would doubt), post back with what you see.   Doing it this way would allow you to shutdown the new server, swap the flash drive back to the old server, and it should reboot normally.

    I'll give this a try once I get all the parts together for the new server (still waiting for a few parts to arrive at the time of writing)

  6. Not sure if this has been mentioned here before, but I just noticed something weird when browsing apps with this plugin: if I hover the mouse over the 'Info' button without clicking it, it sort of 'auto' clicks it and opens the info panel after a few seconds. I tried this on different computers with different browsers to check it wasn't just me and they all do the same thing. Is this intentional or could there be something else causing this on my end?

    I assume --progress is the same as P if I read that correctly

    Yes

    Your version would be rsync -rltvDP --stats and would do the same thing?

    Unless you want extra output that -P or --stats doesn't already give you, you probably don't need the -v (or --verbose) flag

    Also, does the order matter for where I put the new v variable?

    I don't think the order of the flags normally matters

    I am running two parity drives so my question still stands, how do i tweak the instructions to replace both?

     

    Replace each drive one at a time? That's what I would do, then you'd still have at least one parity drive active while the new one gets (re)built. Unless someone else has a quicker/easier way to do this...

    Hello I have the same failed: Operations not permitted and error code 23 despite the while transferring but rsync says otherwise. I have tried updating the UD plugin and reinstall to no luck. My destination device is an exfat format external hard drive disk. Is there any way to solve this issue?

    If you care about retaining the Linux file permissions/ownership you can do what dlandon said (I use EXT4 myself on my external drive). Otherwise you could modify the rsync command so you don't get the above errors.

     

    Instead of this:

    rsync -aP [source dir] [destination dir]
    
    (-a on its own is the same as -rlptgoD)

     

    you could do this:

    rsync -rltDP [source dir] [destination dir]

     

    This removes the flags that otherwise tell rsync to retain the Linux file permissions/ownership.

  10. As per title I'm slowly getting new parts to build a new server to replace my existing server. Nothing wrong with the current one, I just feel like changing it over (I'll repurpose the current one once I get the new machine going, I have some stuff in mind for it). I'm not planning on taking any hardware from the existing server to put into the new one, except the USB drive onto which unRAID is installed.

     

    As I understand it the licence is attached to the USB drive rather than the server hardware, so my plan is the following:

     

    • Stop my Docker containers
    • Sync any changes to files/appdata onto my external USB drive via web UI terminal
    • Shutdown current server
    • Remove unRAID USB from current server
    • Insert unRAID USB into new server
    • Boot up new server, check main unRAID settings have carried over (change if needed)
    • Format/configure new drives accordingly
    • Copy data from external drive to new drives
    • Reinstall & start my missing plugins/Docker containers
    • Check plugin/Docker container settings have been carried over (side thought: where are plugin settings stored?)
    • Profit(??)

     

    Am I doing this right?

    It's never checking for updates (Update Check Frequency)

    But it says "do not overlap with autoupdate" underneath that. I thought perhaps it meant "do not enable this option if any container has been set to autoupdate below", as if the two options somehow would conflict.

  12. For some reason my Docker containers aren't updating automatically with this plugin. I get the notifications to say whenever a container has an update available but it doesn't update itself. Not sure if I've configured something wrong here...

    Currently it's the qbittorrent and postgresql containers that have an update on my server.
