I have several symptoms happening at the same time, and not sure if they are related: 1) Docker icons flashing (presumably the question mark). 2) Same ""/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/images/question.png" failed (2: No such file or directory) while sending to client" in the log. 3) Unraid API error. Restarting API doesn't work. 4) Plug-in Check via "Check for Updates" doesn't show progress. 5) I was barely able to download diagnostics. I'm going to reboot. tower-diagnostics-20260813-1618.zip

Problem: There are certain docker containers that end up taking my unraid server. Symptoms: Unraid WebGUI not accessible for a long time. Cannot SSH for a long time. Docker table reports docker service failed to start One I'm able to gain access to the WebGUI or SSH (after maybe 10 minutes). Cannot restart docker service. Cannot stop array (Retry unmounting disk share(s), usually the cache mount). Work Around: I wait for the Unraid to eventually become responsive (10+ minutes), then I reboot the Unraid server. Log (diagnostics attached): Aug 7 09:27:09 Tower kernel: oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=34f289fa4d751b6fd7ec80edacd084b317c9bdd3b4d60e97234da4c61ca3f1d2,mems_allowed=0,global_oom,task_memcg=/docker/34f289fa4d751b6fd7ec80edacd084b317c9bdd3b4d60e97234da4c61ca3f1d2,task=redis-server,pid=63528,uid=999 Aug 7 09:27:09 Tower kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 63528 (redis-server) total-vm:59990088kB, anon-rss:59956104kB, file-rss:800kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:999 pgtables:117420kB oom_score_adj:0 Other Information: I suspect the docker container "AutoHeal" is the cause of the problem. Every time I update/restart the container, the Unraid server has problem. Though the log does mention a "redis-server", the problem doesn't happen until I update Autoheal docker container. I am less concerned about the container problems, and a lot more concerned that Unraid or the Docker service is not more defensive and protecting the Unraid system. I've also experienced other docker container problems that take down the Unraid server. For example, if a docker container has a problem and has the restart option, I suspect the container that has a problem will end up in a infinite restart loop crashing the docker service and hanging the Unraid server. Wish: For Unraid to be defensive against Docker container problems. I don't want containers impacting core Unraid functionality. Thank you tower-diagnostics-20260807-0927.zip

The preclear gui no longer shows the active preclear activity for a drive I'm prelearing. I did keep the preclear log window open, and it shows preclear activity, and has not yet finished.

What is the easiest way to find an available network port for a docker container? I have a lot of docker containers, and it's not easy to determine what network ports are available. I also use docker compose for some, and it doesn't have a "docker allocations" option.

Why do some folders have the option to "force update", and others don't?

The progress bar does not appear correctly. It's not 98.6% complete. There's a lot more than 8 hours 40 minutes left. Uploading Attachment... Thank you.

What does the scale mean? Is Normal on the left of the scale, and Idle on the right side of the scale, that means Best Efforts is somewhere between Normal and Idle? Why are there so many Best Efforts? I/O Priority: Normal Best-effort 0 Best-effort 1 Best-effort 2 Best-effort 3 Best-effort 4 Best-effort 5 Best-effort 6 Best-effort 7 Idle ...I'm trying to figure out which is best to use (ideally): 1) Prioritize productivity. This is mostly read from SSD cache pool, and/or reading Plex/Jellyfin media from array for when watching a movie/show. 2) De-prioritize Dynamix Integrity check. 3) De-prioritize Parity check. 4) De-prioritize torrent client reads from array/cache. But I also have a separate pool for torrent writes which I want to have high/normal priority. Basically, I want cache moved to array as quickly/soon as possible, unless I'm the user or I need torrents moved from torrent pool to the cache... ...and since the Integrity check started, the mover is taking forever, and I assume there's competition for resources. But I won't know for sure until I see the start time and transfer rate posted to the log at the end of the move. It's also possible there's a bug. Automover is showing the mover is active, but I haven't seen the log update for a long time.

I get messages "File still in use after 10 attempts". I would like to know if the file cannot be moved because it is being read or written. I have large files being copied to the cache pool, which can take a long time. Is Automover aware when the file has completed being copied (no more writes), therefore won't trying to move a file off cache that is being written to? If the problem is the file is being written to, then could we have a Age Based Filter for hours to avoid trying to move files that have not completed being written to? Thank you.

I see the Activity Log in the top right corner displaying: Last Run 1d ago. Yet the Activity Log says (today): Session finished - 2026-04-03 16:08:00 Duration: 0s Usage below threshold — nothing to do cache usage: 39% Threshold:60% Stop Threshold:0% Plugin version: 2026.03.31.01 Session started - 2026-04-03 16:08:00 My guess is the "Last Run" only displays if 1) there was an actual move. 2) On after the run is complete. I would expect the Last Run would be based on the start date or end date (whichever is greater), regardless if files were moved or not.

The Activity Log search box doesn't search/filter. Clicking the "clear" button in File Moved Log doesn't clear the log. Would be nice to have a progress bar measuring files, size, and transfer rate, elapsed time, remaining time. Version 2026.03.31.01

Can someone please explain I/O Priority to me? Best Efforts? When/Why would I want to change from Normal? Thank you.

How do I keep my configuration after an Unraid reboot?

A docker container would be nice. Unfortunately I haven't found a good one.

How do you change the database location? I have a mirrored SSD cache pool that isn't being detected. Uploading Attachment...

When I rebooted Unraid, I lost my configuration. Is that just me? Uploading Attachment...

Requesting an Unraid plugin for jdupes. Thank you.

What is the sudo password for the container? I need to install some Python utilities via PIP, and I cannot install to the folder /home/pgadmin.

I would like a feature to skip a docker container update. On the Docker tab, container versions say "apply update". I would like to have the option to skip the update, and be notified when there's a next update. By skipping the update, I can better use "Update All" without needing to update containers that I don't need updated. This becomes a bigger problem for containers I rarely use, or rarely start. Or maybe another option is to "archive" the container so it's not part of the update frequency, without losing the container information or organization. The other part of the issue is frequent updates of 3GB images that I rarely use, so want to skip those.

https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/run/#set-environment-variables--e-env-env-file In the Extra Parameters I use: --env-file /mnt/user/appdata/[container]/.env I use linuxserver.io images. From my reading it appears the container may persist metadata with just a simple restart. But creating and changing an environment variable within the Unraid template will recreate the container, including recreating the environment variable metadata. So perhaps there's a way to do a clean container restart with Unraid?

When I change an environment variable within the .env file and restart (or stop/start) a container, the value for the environment variable is not updated (retains the value). How do I restart a docker container to refresh/update the environment variable from the .env file?

I would like to monitor/track my electricity energy consumption, and costs. Ideally, I would also like to to track the time of day to determine what activities are costing money, daily, monthly consumption. I think this can be easily accomplished with the UPS settings (though the UPS could be providing power to other attached peripherals too). But to keep it easy, just need to add the electricity rate and historical tracking. Would love to see the energy calculated for hard drives, CPU, GPU, docker container, etc too. Thank you.

How do I get the most recent version of Firefox? Image = v145.0. Release = v147.0.

Thanks...getting closer....seems Tailscale might be causing the problem... Container works without Tailscale.

Does anyone have trouble changing the port when using Tailscale?

Why do some docker container templates have different port configuration options? This one is missing the "Container Port":
