Okay it’s all working correctly now it seems! Thanks for your help! To explain what I’ve done, I’ve split my internet and Nic to different ethXX and set them to use automatic ips. I did this also for the Nic in the windows computers, Though I’m curious in the tutorial he sets up static ips is this necessary? It looks like the NICs are getting ips from my switch if understand correctly?

Thank you! I will give this a go

Yep I can, though the issue is any data that is sent/received over the network doesn’t go through the 10gbe card which I want it to.

Thanks for your reply! I can connect to the GUI fine, I just can’t connect to my shares on my windows PC’s

Hi, I've rececntly moved all my computers back downstairs and I found when I connected it all up again I cant access my unraid server from my windows machines. I've tried deleting the network config files and copying my backed up config files but I still cant seem to connect to my unraid server. Not sure if I didnt set it up correctly in the first place? Ive attacthed my system logs here as well. Here's an overview of how my network is setup: Overview of the computers I have: Working computer - Windows 10 machine - Windows Machine where I do all my work Unraid server - which Ive set up to hold all my files Render computer - Windows 10 machine - an extra computer that I have that I use for rendering Backup computer - backup machine which is soley used to backup the unraid server How they're all connected: Currently Im using this switch QNAP QSW-M408-2C which I've connected all of the above computers togther using a 10gbe card (Asus XG-C100C) On the config side: To setup my unraid server I followed this tutorial - Howevever I should note he assigned static IP's in unraid and on the 10gbe cards which I didnt do (at least from what I understood) Here is a screenshot of my unraid network settings: Not sure what Im doing wrong? Or if Ive correctly setup my unraid server. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks! tower-diagnostics-20240626-1900.zip

The path would have been //server-fast (It matches the name I set in the host file) Oh I don’t have either of those? Only file explorer which I’m also using on the other computer. If it helps both computers seem to be running build 19045 Oh for me the opposite happens when I type \\server-name it takes me to the webGUI. But maybe that’s because I’m using windows 10 I will try and give this a go hopefully it solves my problem thanks!

Hi thanks for your reply, My client computer is running Windows 10 Pro and so is my main computer (which is accessing the same server) Here's a screenshot of what Im seeing after I enter in my credentials - Oh thank you I did actually find that post today, I can see my server under the Network dropdown. I just cant see any of my folders within my share when I log onto my server in the file explorer. I should add I am also accessing the same server from my main computer at the same time if that makes a difference? In Unraid I did make a user under which Im using to log into for both computers

Hi, When I first setup my server I followed this tutorial to get me setup - When I had set it up on my main computer it all worked great and then when I got my second computer I think I was still able to connect to my server by going into window explorer and typing //server-name and then enter my credentials and all my folders would appear. I haven’t used the second computer in a while (since I successfully logged in) and also a few months back I reorganised all my cabling where I unplugged almost everything. Today when I went to log back in I get prompted with a credentials sign in but when I log in I don’t see any of my folders? I know my server is working as I can access it from my main computer. And I’m also able to access the web UI using //server-name and in the tutorial it asks to edit the host file which I’m also able to access in my browser when I type in //server-name-host. Any ideas why this would happen and how I could fix it? To note in the tutorial it says to use a static ip which I haven’t done it’s still set to automatic (which I know is bad) but still works for my main computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi thanks for your reply! I’ll take a look at wire guard thanks! I have also seen one called tailscale - https://tailscale.com which from what I’ve read is built on top of wire guard and removes the need for port forwarding? Has anyone had experience with tailscale?

Hi everyone, I’m looking to start a project (3d animation) with a friend of mine and we want to try and keep all our files on a central server. I have a server setup already on my network, however I’m looking for a bit of advice on the best way to give them access to my server from a different location. A few questions I had about the setup: - As they will be accessing working files directly off the server, speed would be a big one - is there anything I need to consider? - Best way to keep the connection secure? My current plan is to setup a seperate share for the project and assign it its own HDD and I’ve read I can also create a new pool to assign a cache drive. This to hopefully keep my personal files and project files completely separate. However happy to change this if there’s a better way to do this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Thanks so much for your help that worked! I think where I was going wrong was using the user backup instead of root (in the guide I linked earlier it said you should use another user instead of root), editing the wrong authorized_keys file also here where you say: At first I couldnt see any of the files except known_hosts but when I tried again I could see all the listed files. Hopefully this can be pinned or made into a seperate thread for new users who are trying to use luckybackup Thanks again!

Haha yes it’s proving quite difficult to get working.. oh yep I have done that. When I try ssh user@remote-server I’m able to connect successfully but when I try through luckybackup I’m unable to connect without a password prompt

How do I check if the SSH server is running? Sorry a bit new to all this

Is there a way I should be doing this? I thought it would connect to the main server once Ive run the task? I also noticed under Edit user in Unraid for the root user on my foreign system I dont see any SSH authorized keys displayed like I see in the backup server?

All good thanks for your help! Maybe it’s something I’ve done wrong in your steps. Here’s what I’ve done: On the backup server I went to: /luckybackup/.ssh and opened up the file: ssh_host_rsa_key.pub Copy the contents of this file Then on the main server (foreign system) created a file: authorized_keys.txt in the directory /root/.ssh Pasted the contents of ssh_host_rsa_key.pub into the authorized_keys file and saved it on the main sever in /root/.ssh Go to the luckyBackup container on the backup server Set up a new task with the settings in the screenshot

Hi!! I manged to get it working but it still seems to prompt me for a password? Which keeps popping up anytime I enter the password for the backup user on my server

Hmm I still seem to get the same error when I create test share with a file on the source server? When I run validate though I dont get any errors indicating the direvtory doesnt exist

Thanks for your reply! backup@<IP address>:/mnt/user/PROJECTS is the source Ah yes good idea thanks!

Hi! I've followed your steps above just wanted to confirm if this is what I was meant to do for step 6? As I seem to get an error saying backup@<IP address>:/mnt/user/PROJECTS does not exist?

Thanks so much! I will give this a try tomorrow

Thanks for your quick reply! In the guide it says to create the id_rsa on the local machine (which is my main server where I have luckybackup installed) and then copy it to the remote server (which is my backup server) Yep I have done that I created it under /luckybackup/.ssh on the local machine and then in the guide he copies it to the remote machine which is where I have it under /root/.ssh Yep I did that that the authorized_key is on the remote machine Unless I should have installed luckbackup on my backup server instead of the main server?

Hi, I'm using Luckyback to back up my main server to my new backup server using this guide - https://unraid.net/blog/unraid-server-backups-with-luckybackup However Im a bit stuck, when I run the Task I created to back up my main server it prompts me for a password which when I enter it seems to accept it but then the OpenSSH Authentication Passphrase request window will pop up again and that happens a few times and I get the below errors: I created the id_rsa file under /luckybackup/.ssh and then copied that file to my backup server in /root/.ssh. The authorized_keys file is also in /root/.ssh on the backup sever. Not too sure where I'm going wrong? This also how Ive set up my task: Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Hi! Im following this tutorial - https://unraid.net/blog/unraid-server-backups-with-luckybackup I'm trying to set up a backup from my main server to my backup server using the blog above but I'm having a bit of trouble. When I run the line: scp /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 192.168.1.9:/root/.ssh/ I get an error saying port 22: Connection refused, am I correct in saying in mangement settings within webGUI I need to set use SSH to yes should fix that issue or is there something Im missing? I also had I another question another user mentioned to save the key under /luckybackup/.ssh/, in the next step of the blog when he copies the key to the backup server would I enter in the following line? scp /luckybackup/.ssh/id_rsa.pub <backup server IP>:/luckybackup/.ssh/ As I dont have luckybackup on my backup server? Or would it just create the directory? Apologies I did also reply to the forum within this thread - but seems it might be a bit old and hidden

Hi, I got an error that my cache pool went missing and I lost a couple of files (thankfully nothing super important), after I shutdown and booted again it seems to have come back and I'm not getting errors anymore. Any idea why this might happen? It has been fairly hot in Aus the last couple of days not sure if that's related? It is something I was going to look into over the weekend. Unfortunatley I rebooted before I got diagnostics but I'll attach them any ways. Should I run a test on the cache pool to check its still working correcty? and if so what should I run. To note I tried to reboot from the UI but it didnt seem to comeback had to shutdown and then boot again. Seems it was graceful shut down as it hasnt run a parity check.
