Have you given the user "wordpress" full read and write access to the "wordpress" db in mariadb? Sounds like you haven't,

According to the linuxserver version of mariadb github readme the created user has superuser access to the created database. So I would assume it does.

Switching to the Mariadb Offical fixed the issue but I don't see why the linuxserver version is have the issue to begin with.

Hi I have an issue where I get "Cannot select database". I'm using a second instance of mariadb from linux server (other one is being used by nextcloud). I'm not sure what the issue is as it says the username and password are correct but that it can't access the database still. Thanks in advance. sorry If I'm just doing something dumb.

There should be no difference between iGPUs of the same part number within the chip families.

That's what I figured glad I got an answer .

You haven't mentioned the size of HDDs.

If they're old and small then you could easily improve your efficiency by replacing them with just a few of the current crop large HDDs (16-18TBs).

Which will allow you to get rid of the HBA card - another electricity consuming device.

The main ones that stay active and don't sleep are 4 10TB 7200rpm WD red drives. I could probably condense what is on the other drives (mix of 4 and 3TB) and pop out the HBA card.

Stay away from those "gaming" motherboards with tons of MOSFETS and many power stages - a waste of money and electricity.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

Get a more basic motherboard from your favorite brand with as many of SATA ports as you can find but not before checking its manual on the .M2 expansion slots configurations.

Many MBs will disable one or several SATA ports when any of the .M2 slot(s) are in use.

Good advice thank you.

Consult the following link for a PSU. https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

Get a single rail, listed in the Tier A, High-End group.

Pay attention to the model years (if applicable), some models are not recommended if out of the specified year range.

Don't try to save on a PSU.

I will definitely take a look at this site and see my options.

Also to note my power usage idle currently is around 100W with 3 drives active and the rest spun down and MC server off. Honestly not sure how much power will be saved making these changes.

[Power Eficent Build Questions]

Hi,

I'm making a plant to upgrade my current unraid server from my old gaming pc parts to a more powerful and power efficient machine. My budget is around $500 give or take and I'm mainly looking to upgrade the CPU, Motherboard, and Power Supply. My current build consists of an Intel® Core™ i7-8700K, ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING, 32GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, LSI 9211-8i 6G SAS HBA, 10 HHDs, 2 NVMe SSDs, 6 120mm fans. I know what docker containers I will be running, this is mainly a plex and minecraft sever build. I use Tdarr to convert my videos to h265 and most my plex client devices can play back h265 so I'm not transcoding back to H264 a majority of the time. Looking to upgrade the CPU to one with UHD 770 Graphics to be able to remove the dGPU. I heard hat the intel UHD 770 Graphics are amazing at transcoding. So my question is, is there a difference in UHD 770 Graphics performance based on i3/i5/i7 and 12th and 13th gen? In searching I couldn't find a clear answer. From what I read no but just want to make sure. Is a i7-2700k over kill? I would like some performance wiggle room. Any advice on motherboards would be awesome. Would prefer DDR4 compatible but what affect DDR4 vs DDR5 has on the UHD 770 Graphics I don't know. I'm also looking to get a 600W Platinum power supply. And I probably will replace the LSI 9211-8i 6G SAS HBA with a ASM1166 sata card.

Extremely bad. Consider a better and smaller power supply. If you stay with your dGPU then a Seasonic Titanium would be the best option.

I do have a Cosrair RM 850x 80+ GOLD I know it's not much better but it is something I do have just laying around. Would you say it's worth swapping? (My unraid server is really just my re purposed old gaming pc)

Replace against an ASM1166 6 port card and use onboard SATA ports.

I have a ASM1062 10 port card, would that be just as good? this one exactly: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-SATA-PCIe-Card-10P6G-PCIE-SATA-CARD/dp/B09KDLKYRN?ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840

Used in an VM or in unRAID? If by a VM: Do you set the GPU to standby if the VM is shutdown? German thread:

https://forums.unraid.net/topic/118039-strom-sparen-ansätze/

I would say you are wasting at least 40W.

Using it for a plex docker container. Most of the time it's in proper standby mode using 10W

Ok great.

[Reduce power consumption with powertop]

When I run:

powertop --quiet --auto-tune

I get this error:

powertop: /lib64/libncursesw.so.6: no version information available (required by powertop)
powertop: /lib64/libtinfo.so.6: no version information available (required by powertop)

File will be loaded after taking minimum number of measurement(s) with battery only

My specs:

Intel® Core™ i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz

ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

32GB DDR4 RAM

Corsair TX850 80+ Bronze

6 120mm fans

2 80mm fans

LSI 9211-8i 6G SAS HBA

10 HDDS

2 NVME SSDs

 

Side question, does 90W seem normal with all drives spun down and with CPU at 2% and GPU in idle state of 10W?
