Serverus Adminicus

Well, now I did. 🙄 Thank you - I knew the solution was staring me in the face somewhere.

Ok, so I've connected an external hard drive (4TB, exFAT) to my server via USB. It is recognized via Unassigned Devices. It's mounted (cd mnt/disks/). Everything seems good. I can see the drive via MC and UnRaid's GUI file browser. I want to transfer about 3.3 TB of data from my array onto this external drive. I have tried Filezilla and Krusader and neither are able to "see" the external drive as a destination to copy files to. Is there a setting in the external drive I should have clicked to make the drive visible? Something I should have set up when I installed Filezilla or Krusader as dockers? I feel really dumb here; can someone walk me through how best to set up this file transfer? It's big, and I'm squeamish about using MC because I don't know a way for me to log in later and see the transfer's progress.

So I recently picked up a Firewalla Purple (would TOTALLY recommend!), and ever since I’ve been getting a bunch of “Device Serverus is accessing malware site“ alerts for IP addresses in other countries (see attached). I get about a dozen alerts like this every day specifically about my UnRaid server doing this. Anyone know anything about this?

The attached screenshots explain a little more about what makes me worry/wonder if adding a GPU would help. My temps are still doing pretty okay all things considered (although I don't think I have any means to track the CPU temps atm). Presently, I'm not feeling any enormous slowdown on Serverus while this is running. Music on Plex is just fine, and I only noted one or two random buffers when streaming a 1080 movie at 5469 kbps, so I suppose the machine is doing alright. But all the same I'd love to know if there's a way I can supplement what Serverus is doing via Handbrake encoding to make things more efficient and faster.

So surprise surprise, but Handbrake is available as an Unraid Docker! This blows my mind, and I couldn't be happier it exists and works, but my current Unraid box (Serverus) runs without a dedicated GPU. See below for the current configuration. I'm reasonably sure that Handbrake supports GPU acceleration, and so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good GPU that I could add to Serverus to help assist Handbrake's encode process. Ideally I'm looking for something that has the smallest electrical/heat footprint when not being used, since I really wouldn't even want/need it to assist in Plex transcoding, but one that would significantly cut down the time/CPU usage when running a Handbrake encode (I'm currently averaging about 8.44 FPS at 1080p super settings, for anyone interested). Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks very much in advance!

Hey everyone! The app version in my docker container reads 3.3.2.22 from within the app webUI (which is up-to-date according to Docker), however the MSP360's current version is 4.0.0.260. I've tried running the "check for updates" within the webUI, but it just hangs on "updating...please wait.". Is there a way for me to successfully update this app to the current version?

How could I add a notification for when the Mover is invoked? I only have files move when my cache hits 30% capacity, so not that often. Would be a nice optional feature to brew into the app.

Thank you! I plan to add my next drive to the parity should 12TBs go on sale. Maybe also get a 2-bay QNAP to backup my documents.

Hey everyone! I'm your newest victim convert to Unraid. Have been an avid Plex user and all around data hoarder for going on 15 years now. I've gone through a series of home servers, usually machines I've cobbled together or scooped up off of Craigslist. I've run homeboxes out of Drobos, a Mac Mini, a headless Fedora box that never really worked anyway, and my most recent version was an old 2009 Mac Pro 8-core Xeon with 32 GB of RAM and 12 TB across 4 4TBs on a RAID 0 (I know, I know) - my son called it "Shuriken". But that's all been done away with, as for the first time I've been able to build my newest home server from the ground up with Unraid running the show. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the 4th generation of my home server, Serverus: Motherboard: MSI Z590-A PRO CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-10400 RAM: 16GB DDR4 Storage: 6x 12TB Seagate Exos = 60 TB usable storage Cache: 1TB nvme SSD Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 My youngest came up with the name, and my oldest helped design the logo. Couldn't be more excited to be part of this community!
