  1. Hi. In my previous living space I've had a DDNS service attached to my router and I WireGuarded into my UnRAID, it worked just fine. On this new router, it simply refuses to play nice with any DDNS service, so I've decided to just go with DuckDNS container route on my UnRAID + still connect via WireGuard ofc. I've port forwarded UDP 51820 and TCP 51821 to my UnRAID local address on my router but WireGuard can't estabilish a connection, which probably means something else is blocking it. I'm honestly at a loss here what's happening and how to fix - does someone have any ideas how to sort this out?
  2. Well that kind of sucks 😕 Could you go into any more detail regarding your solution?
  3. I've got an old WinXP machine that was virtualized a couple of months back after its native PC died, its got files that need to be salvaged but the user of the said machine is refusing to do it any other way other than accessing it "natively" from said installation (his environment and whatnot). Problem is - connecting USB sticks to the virtual machine doesnt work, so I've resorted to trying to map a share and have the user directly transfer files to the share. Problem is, it simply won't connect. The error that at first popped up was "there are a maximum users using this share" or something like that (the winxp is in native language so that's a rough translation), so I've created a new user and assigned it to the share and tried connecting with those credentials, now it's saying that it doesn't exist. I've checked the workgroup for SMB settings, it's the same as the WinXP machine. I've put the share into public mode. When I check network places, I don't see it. When I try to map a network drive, it doesn't work. What can I do to force it to work? Thanks
  4. I've recently gotten 4 more 8TB drives and added them to the share, I've been looking to diversify my share pools and compartmentalize files. I know I've read sometime before that this is not generally recommended but I'd like to have each share have its own drive/its own drive pool to make only one drive spin up instead of multiple drives at once, both for longevity of the drives and to reduce the noise. So here's the question - if I edit an existing pool, exclude the already existing disks and include one of the new ones, does unraid automatically move the files to the new disk? Or do I need to create a new share with new disk settings and manually move the files?
  5. 1) I'll have to change the address of the UnRAID build I have - is it as simple as just changing a parameter in settings or do I need to do a fresh install? 2) I'm adding a couple more drives to the build and adding a user who'll use my UnRAID - I want that user's drives to be on a specific drive - how hard is it to do this? I also need to remove an existing drive because I want to use it in a different system. What's the most pain free way to do this? Is there a way to just copy the disk without rebuilding from parity? I know this is all basic and that I could figure this out on my own from just snooping around but I want to have an answer already when I get around to doing it because I'll be time constrained when at the site where I need to do all of this.
  6. I've a plan to make a new portable SFFPC and I'm thinking about cannibalizing MOBO from my unraid setup, mobo in question is a rog strix B460-I (10th gen intel board) and I've got a i3 running in there with 16gigs of RAM. So obviously a machine that has quite a bit some muscle. On my unraid setup I've been running plex, home assistant, wireguard and krusader as docker apps, as for VMs a singular Ubuntu that I don't need anymore and will likely get rid of. This is the board I was looking to maybe purchase and swap it out with: Biostar J4105NHU So basically downgrade from a i3 10th gen to celeron.. 7th gen? I know Celeron's are quite garbanzo right now but what can I expect from such a downgrade (except Plex potentially lagging)? Would it be a viable setup for what I've mentioned above? I'm probably also making another unraid setup for my family and I've also been thinking about using that board with an integrated celeron so extra curious how well do you guys think that'd perform for a simple file server purpose unraid build.
  7. I didn't even know I have to provision a certificate. Thank you, Connect's amazing.
  8. It just shows a few tabs of currently active stuff on the server and that's.. that. I can't remotely restart it or anything using that? I'm having an issue with my server and I'd like to remotely restart it but I've lost the ability to VPN into my network, was hoping I could do it via connect but alas, only shows some useless tabs and gives you nothing of essence to work with.
  9. I see, thank you for the speedy reply. How can I absolutely make sure that the drive is healthy?
  10. Hi. Been using unRAID for little over a year now I think, really happy with it. Tonight I wanted to access my array to retrieve a photo and Windows said I can't connect to the array. I was like "huh, prolly a power outage that knocked the array off" or something (even though I don't think power went out but anyway). I go into the unraid settings and I see that array is disabled because parity device was knocked out. I shut off the PC and turn it back on, array will start, there's a notification saying all array disks have 0 read errors, but parity device is listed as disabled and it refuses to start back up even though the disk seems.. healthy? Like it shows temperature, it spins up, etc, just that unRAID is refusing to start it back up. What's my next step here?
  11. Hi. Started my first array ever. I've added a 8TB parity drive, another 8TB and 6TB drives for the array and a 512GB SSD for cache. Currently my first time parity sync on empty drives (or well, they for some reason each have ~50gb worth of data on them for no known reason to me? Why do they have some data if unraid formatted them after they were added to the array?) is running for the past 2 hours and unraid estimates it'll keep running for next 10 hours. Why is it this long and is it always this long? Write speeds are ~170 megs per sec. Is this normal? Does this mean my next parity sync once I add all my existing data (~9TBs worth of data) will take like 7 days?
  12. Thank you all for the answers. Ah, so the moment I assign a drive in unraid it gets automatically cleaned? So essentially I need to migrate data away before setting up unraid? This sounds extremely nice. Tell me, if you've mapped your disk as a network disk in Windows, how does it behave when you're out of network? Does it just stand there in "My PC" and then when you VPN in it starts working exactly like it works when you're on your home network (just slower)?
  13. Hi. I've been looking around regarding unraid, finally got all the gear I need to convert my PC to a unraid PC. I currently have a 1x 6TB drive, 2x 8TB drive and a 256GB M.2 SSD (which currently houses Windows). I have another 8TB drive laying around and have plans to add 5x more 8TB drives in the immediate future, bringing me up to 8x 8TB drives and 1x6TB drive. 1. How exactly does unraid distribute data across disks? When I install Unraid and set it up, will the files between drives be immediately shuffled around and a disk will be chosen for parity or does it remain as-is? 2. Once unraid is done setting up, I'll have one huge virtual disk that I can simply network map in my Windows devices? How do I determine which files go on which disk in my NAS system, or is it all done automatically? 3. What's the easiest way to have my NAS' disk available to me when I'm outside my home network? I've heard about VPNing in into my home network, how does that work, what's the easiest way to do it? Part of the reason why I'm doing a NAS build is because I want to have all my files available to me 24/7, whether I'm on a mobile phone, my laptop or my tablet. 4. Cache drive - how important is it to have a cache drive? I have the 256GB m.2 ssd I've mentioned before and can add one more to the secondary mobo M.2 slot. 5. Virtualization. I've heard that unraid runs docker, which is perfect, however I'd also need to run Windows in a VM for a Windows app that has no Linux port - where does unraid store VM containers (in terms of data)? Could I possibly just set a 512GB SSD in my secondary M.2 slot on MOBO, partition it to 2x 256GB partitions, use one for my secondary cache drive, use second for docker, VM, etc within unraid? I think I've forgotten something else but I'll ask if I remember. Thank You for the help in advance! (I'm terribly sorry, posted the other topic in the wrong section, deleted it now)
  14. Hey, I've gotten myself a SATA HBA LSI Megaraid 9201-8i 6G PCIe x8 card which is preflashed in IT mode. From what I've checked it's compatible with Unraid so all good there. However, I don't have breakout cables. Found these forward breakouts on ebay, will these work? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303868948979?var=603060543593&_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dcb4cbe35e3ec48e7a19ec02654efad23%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D303868948979%26itm%3D603060543593%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A788ad5a1-19db-11ed-bdb0-129e8e846600|parentrq%3A8f99ba5e1820a6e5bb8c6c4afffc514a|iid%3A1 They're SFF-8087 Mini-SAS to SATA forward breakout. Thanks for the help!
  15. I see, thanks. Could you recommend a somewhat cheap-ish card from german Amazon off the top of your head?
  16. Hey guys. I've looked around regarding unRAID and it seems like a perfect solution for me. I've a big question though - which PCI-E expansion cards does it support? Which ones work the best with it? I was looking to buy this specific card:https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07NFRXQHC/ref=crt_ewc_title_oth_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF , would something like this work with unRAID? Do you guys have any recommendation for a PCI-E SAS/SATA expansion card that works 100% flawlessly with unRAID/Windows in general? Thanks!
