Is that plex that Limetech released way back? If so it has been depreciated and removed from app store quite a while ago. Post the file from the USB that Squid and Trurl asked for and they can confirm which version it is. If you have to switch to a different version then spaceinvader one has a great video for moving your plex data to another version.

Ok thanks. So for now all the samba errors on Mar 7 are not to worry about?

Currently at work. The syslog on my pc started the same time as the server one. So currently they are the same. If I get a random shutdown I will post the pc version. Are those errors typically hardware related or are they insignificant?

You should be good if you run one at at time

To be fair you would be running 4 OS at the same time.

I have been sending syslog to my pc as I had a couple unknow shutdowns on Saturday. Was looking through log looking for any hints. Could someone take a look at my syslog and tell me if I should be concerned with the errrors starting at Mar 7 17:49:14. Thanks! tower-diagnostics-20230308-1517.zip

CPU is hard one to reccomend. I prefer Intel as I like to use Intel quicksync for plex transcoding. Something with 10, 12 or more cores with hyper threading would be more appropriate. Raid 5 holds some parity information on all disks. On unraid the parity drive does not hold data. So 3 4tb drives would give you 8tb of space with 1 drive for parity protection. Four drive (4tb) would give you 12tb with 1 drive for parity.

The I5 10400f has 6 cores /12 threads. Windows minimum is 2 cores. So 1 core with hyperthread partner. I would assign 2 cores with two matching hyper thread cores. That leaves you 4 cores (8 threads) to run server and dockers. If you want to run multiple VMs at the same time you should look for a CPU with more cores.

Firefox for me. I tend to have a distrust for Google and Microsoft.

FCP update just came out and fixed this issue for me

Woke this morning to my server being offline. I started the server backup and it started a parity check (unclean shutdown I assume). The odd thing is DelugeVPN wouldn't start. The OpenVPN config file is no longer there like it was erased. Is this someone trying to send me a message? The only think that has changed is last night I switched my Tautulli over to reverse proxy using Swag. I looked through the setting and realized that Authentication Login and password were not setup in Tautulli. I have fixed the Tautulli Web login this morning. Fix common problems also gave me "Invalid folder addons contained within /mnt" which has never happened before. Any ideas? Or is this unrelated? tower-diagnostics-20230304-0613.zip

I usually open the console for nextcloud and run "updater.phar". Then you don't have to refresh and retry multiple times.

Its a long shot but when I had this happen is was corruption on my USB. Put your USB in a windows PC and see if it detects any errors. Let windows repair it finds any.

For the most part you are correct. Transcoding is usually used to save bandwidth or convert the file if it is not supported by your player. The graph included is my Users I am the second line. Blue is transcoded media pink is Direct Stream (changes the file container) and red is Direct play (no transcoding at all). You can see the second bar has almost no transcoding which is on local network.

The server does the transcoding either CPU(very CPU intensive), Intel Quicksync, or nvidia GPU. I also primarily use Roku boxes. The vast majority of the time you will direct stream to your Roku so no transcoding needed. If you share server outside your network is when it becomes a bigger issue.

GPU would help with transcoding. My server is using a similar board. I found that my pentium chip was a little under powered to run the 20 dockers I have setup. I went and bought a used E3-1275 v2 Intel Xeon on ebay and use intel Quick sync for transcoding. Usually around $100 or less.

Thanks finally got around to doing this. Worked like a charm thanks again!

Send them an email. Or maybe @SpencerJ can reach out.

Are you running SAB through privoxy?

Thanks. I’ll give it a try this weekend.

I am trying to get Swag on my primary server to open containers on my backup server which is in the same subnet. Does anyone have an example of how I would edit conf files to achieve this? I assume I don’t need to run a second instance of Swag on my backup server?

Deluge was down for me this morning. Downloaded the new .opvn files from PIA and back working. I noticed the support link for delugevpn docker seems to be broken. Keep up the great work!

For me there was a chart in the swag log with all the files that were outdated (around 8 files for me). I replaced them all with the new sample files. I was using 3 .conf files that I had to edit to match my old server names from when I set it up. Do you have a list of out dated files in the log? You will likely have to restart Swag to see them as my log was spamming an error.

Ok thanks I didn't realize there was more than the two files to change. Changed all them in the outdated list and seem to be good. Thanks

I replaced both the ssl.conf and nginx.conf files with the sample ones however I seem to get the same results. The 3 subdomain.conf files I use I believe only had the server name changed. Its been a long time so am a bit lost.
