My tower, and all of the enclosed hardware, has been up and running since January of 2015. It's used almost exclusively as a Plex media server, I've attached a list of the primary components. Other than replacing a few failed HDDs (and most recently my boot flash drive), nothing has changed. I started with five 3TB HDDs, including one for parity, an SSD for the cache, and the flash drive. A few years ago I expanded to a 10 HDD array with two parity drives, totalling 69(gigity)TB of storage. I added a single PCIe card with six SATA ports as part of the expansion, everything else in the tower is original. The server itself runs fine, but I'm concerned that the expansion has maxed out the cooling capabilities of the tower. The disks tend to run warm normally, and get borderline hot during parity checks. At what point should I consider upgrading some of the hardware, or building a new tower altogether? I do plan on adding more storage in the future, but that will likely come in the form of external enclosures. I realize this is very subjective, I'm just looking for suggestions, recommendations, or ideas that I haven't considered. Thanks. UnRaid Server Hardware List.docx

I think more than just me would be having problems if it was a PIA issue. For the record, this only started happening after my flash drive failed and had to be replaced. I was using the container for six months without an issue.

I changed it three more times and now it's working ??? I guess I'll come back when it stops again.

I tried six different endpoints in multiple countries, including ones labeled "streaming optimized", still can't open the UI.

I cannot connect to the WebUI, intermittently. Command execution.txt supervisord.log

Unfortunately, I can no longer access the drive. We lost power the other day, so I had to shut down the server and now I can't get it back up. Windows will not recognize the drive. Any ideas on how to pull the config file so I can move it to the new drive?

That's what I thought, but figured I'd ask just in case. Thanks.

This has been happening for about a week. For two days, I couldn't get the server to boot at all. I switched USB ports and the server is now up, but I'm still seeing the same errors. Running Unraid 7.3.1, diagnostics file attached. server-pc-diagnostics-20260702-0952.zip

I'm having the same issue. I ran Memtest and everything came back clean. I backed up the cache drive and reformatted it. I'm still having the same issue, but it seems to be random. Some folders are fine, some give me the error. Sometimes I can copy files over and halfway through, the error will come up.

I used option B and the unraid template. It seems to be up and running, except I can't find where the data is being downloaded. I left these as they were, but I don't know where that data folder is. I've looked in every folder and I'm not sure how to change it to a folder I recognize. I apologize for sounding like a total noob. I used to work in IT and know this stuff but I switched careers about 15 years ago and have apparently forgotten everything. -v /path/to/data:/data \ -v /path/to/config:/config \

PIA, which is what I've been using.

I've had my server up and running since 2017 with virtually no issues. Full disclosure, I haven't used it much in the last 2-3 years, but it was working. Recently, I began downloading torrent files again, which was the original reason i set up the server. I was using activ-transmission VPN with no issues. Two weeks ago, my array appeared to go into "read-only" mode, meaning I couldn't copy files from my torrent folder to any of my share folders in Windows. The torrent folder is on the cache drive, the shares are on the array. As part of the troubleshooting, I copied the appdata and system folders from my cache drive directly to the array, reformatted my cache drive, and then moved everything back. Doing this removed all of the docker containers, so I set about trying to reinstall them. I was able to get the Plex docker back up and running, though all of my libraries were gone. Just the libraries themselves, not the files. Activ-transmission vpn is no longer available in the apps, so I installed haugene transmission-vpn, but I can't get the GUI to work. I keep getting a 404: not found, and I'm stuck. I configured the docker with my PIA credentals and pointed it to my local network, but I'm not sure what else to do. I've read through all the documentation, and nothing seems to be off with the config. Please understand, I set this up many years ago and have no recollection of how. Also, if anyone has any insight on the original read-only issue, that would be appreciated also because that's still an issue.

Thank you so much! I just did a clean reinstall of my Windows 10 laptop and I couldn't connect to any of my shares. That regedit did the trick.

I found the option to change them to ATSC, it's in the HDHomerun folder, not the individual tuners. However, there is no ability to choose in the wizard. I'm re-running the wizard now, the tuner section is grayed out. They show as ATSC now because I changed them manually. When I originally ran it, the tuners came up as DVB-C and there was no way to change it.

I have an HDHomerun Prime with a cable card from Verizon (I'm in the US). I've just installed the docker and run through the wizard. The Homerun tuners all come up as DVB-C instead of ATSC. What am I missing?
