I pulled the power plug and booted back up and its been running normally again the last couple of days (knock on wood). Whatever it was a power eset seems to fix it (at least for now). Thanks for the help!

I'm using ipvlan and I'm not using dockers. Looks like I have some trouble-shooting to do. Thanks for the quick rpely!

Did you ever discover the answer to this. Mine started doing the exact same thing this morning.

I too am having the issue of my flash backup never completing. Of course a google search led me to this post. I have 2 unraid servers both at 6.8.2. Both configured the same. On 1 the flash backup completes in a couple of minutes. on the other it goes on forever. I do not use MyServers. Any suggestions for me please? TIA!

Ah - I see. OK - I have now updated to 6.8.2 Thank you Frank1940 for your help and advice. I hope my LibreOffice goes away as well - time will tell!

I was only taking the small step because it was the easy way via the plugin. I sure don't want to attempt any upgrade until I understand what went wrong or what problems my system may have.

I have been happily running v6.3.2 for a long time but had 2 issues with my server locking up while using LibreOffice to open a spreadsheet on the RAID. I figured it would be best to upgrade the O/S before I started anything else so I went to the Plugins page and it showed me running at 6.3.2 with an upgrade to 6.5.3 The first thing I did was backup the flash to a local folder on my PC (good thing). The upgrade appeared to complete fine and I rebooted and accessed via the GUI. I tried to start the array and the system hung. I could no longer access the GUI and got the dreaded "unraid 500 internal server error". I rebooted with the same results. I fell back to 6.3.2 and everything is back and fine. 1. Why can't I upgrade? 2. Why did the server lock up when trying to access a .xls file via libreoffice? I did take a diagnostic file before I tried to upgrade and it is attached. I also attached my hardware profile Plugins: CA Auto Update Applications 2016.12.18 CA Backup / Restore Appdata 2017.02.21 CA Cleanup Appdata 2017.01.28 Community Applications 2017.02.25 Dynamix webGui 2017.02.16 ssh Plugin 2016.02.25.2 User Scripts 2017.06.02 Thanks in advance for any advice. bernard-diagnostics-20200205-1237.zip Hardware profile.xml

I am no expert (just a novice at this) but here is what I added to my go files Tower1 # Tower1 # umask for root .ssh setup with known hosts and authorized keys umask 077 # Copy the files and set the permission cp /boot/config/ssh/Tower2-rsync-key.pub /root/.ssh/ cp /boot/config/ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/ cp /boot/config/ssh/known_hosts /root/.ssh/ chmod 700 /root/.ssh/ #!/bin/bash # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & Tower2 # Tower2 # umask for root .ssh setup with known hosts and authorized keys umask 077 # Copy the files and set the permission cp /boot/config/ssh/Tower1-rsync-key.pub /root/.ssh/ cp /boot/config/ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/ cp /boot/config/ssh/known_hosts /root/.ssh/ chmod 700 /root/.ssh/ #!/bin/bash # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & I have rebooted many times and things work as expected. Make sure your files are in the correct directories. I hope this helps!

Got it. I suspect that tl0910 hasn't rebooted remotehost yet - or I am doing something wrong. After reading this from ken-ji I did a bit of experimenting and found the answer. My go file now looks like this on remotehost (no changes on the go file on thishost): # umask for root .ssh setup with known hosts and authorized keys umask 077 # Copy the files and set the permission cp /etc/ssh/Tower-rsync-key.pub /root/.ssh/ cp /etc/ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/ chmod 700 /root/.ssh/ #!/bin/bash # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & I have now successfully rebooted remotehost and thishost and things work. Next I am going to congiure ssh for another and disallow root logins - but one step at a time. When I finish I'llpm tl0910 with what I did and he can edit his original post if I am doing this correctly. Thanks again ken-ji and tl0910 - I continue to learn.

I have a few free moments to try again - from scratch. I deleted the .ssh/ folder and all my created files from /config/ssh/ and /etc/ssh/ I followed the steps and after... ...everything was working as expected. I have the SSH Config app installed so I copied all files from /root/.ssh/ to /boot/config/ssh on both servers After I reboot "thishost" (as described above) everything work fine. I rebooted a couple of times and everything is good. After I reboot "remotehost" it no longer works. Yes I am still entering the commands on thishost. So - what the heck am I doing wrong?

I hit another snag and just haven't had time to do anymore. I thought I had it working. I could ssh and rsync from the backup server using the keys and no password. But then I decided to try to reboot my primary (the one I will backup). Now no keys work. Not from the primary nor the backup server. Back to the drawing board and I will post when life lets me try some things. Thanks

I think I got it. I was reading a post from ken-ji in another topic https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/50038-ssh-support-in-v6/ Then it hit me. I should not be using /root/.ssh/ but instead /etc/ssh/ - no? requires a password because /root/.ssh/ is empty But ssh -i /etc/ssh/Tower-rsync-key [email protected] uptime does not require a password - even after reboots. Do I have this correct?

Thank you for the reply ken-ji No - I am not ensuring anything. that is for two reasons: 1. I know very little LINUX (I grew up on OpenVMS if you know what that is) and 2. tr0910 wrote the following; By "automatic" I assume these things were taken care of. Perhaps I should not assume. In any event the .ssh/ folder is empty after a reboot. And yes I have the key files in the /config/ssh folder. <sigh> I have so much to learn - and I am an old dog trying new tricks

Yes. But when I copy the keys manually this no longer seems to work and asks for a password. So I am doing something incorrectly. It's very frustrating.

Perhaps I am just plain stupid; Everything is working perfectly until I reboot. I have installed the ssh plugin and copied the files from /root/.ssh/ to /boot/config/ssh/ After a reboot /root/.ssh/ is empty and a password is required. Thanks for any guidance on what I am doing wrong.

Please - I need a little help. I had everything working as expected up to; Now I'm lost. When I make the change to the go file it creates the directory but does not copy the files. I am not a linux guru but I think there are some ;'s missing and the syntax is not quite correct. But - as I say - I am very low on the linux command line learning curve. I have copied the files manually but I am now being asked for a password. So I tried the easy way... I am also very new to unRAID v6. As a matter of fact I just upgraded from v5 so I could try this. So this plugin stuff is a mystery to me. I did install the ssh plugin but I have no idea how to configure it properly to make it persistent to reboots. Would someone be able to guide me please? Thanks

Thank you for the step-by-step. I think I'm going to give this a try.

Thanks DZMM - that's new since I last tried plex. But that looks like the collection is manually configured. KODI does it automatically.

Thank kizer This looks like it is exactly what I want to do.

KODI will do ISOs. I have many and they play with no issues. The BDMV is a different issue. I may not be quite correct but I believe the menu system of the BLURAY is copyrighted. Therefore you will not be able to play the menu in just about any streaming software. The only way I knew of playing the BLURAY menu was to add "Total Media Player" to XBMC - but TMP is no longer... I don't do very many BLURAYs - but if I do I use BDRebulder. It's much the same as Handbrake but compresses down more.

Thanks for the reply. Since the servers are already backing up locally I just need to keep them in sync (incremental) - maybe a few gigabytes (2 or less) a week at most. My son lives 10 miles away so if I need to do a BIG sync I could just bring his server back to my place. So if I can do it - with what and how?

If you would please be so kind as to make suggestions and point me to tutorials (because I am thick headed and like step by step instructions) I would appreciate it. I have two servers running unRAID. My primary server is contains 12TB of data. Last year I created a duplicate server to serve as a backup. Both servers reside in my basement. I am using robocopy from my "Home Media Theater" primary PC running Windows 7 as the backup engine. Now that my son has come of age and moved out to his own residence I would like to move my backup server to his home. In this way he will also have access to the movies, music and photos and whatnot. We both have cable internet at 100M down. We also both have ASUS Dark Knight routers. Mine is running the Merlin firmware and my son's is running stock firmware. I have tried (following a tutorial) to configure OpenVPN on my router (using another router on my LAN and a laptop running Windows 7) with no success (I am never prompted for a username/password). But maybe that's not the way to go. I am looking for recommendations and tutorials to help me achieve my goal. Thanks in advance.

If you want to play just from your LAN then KODI is my suggestion. It's been around a long time and has great support community. It's very easy to setup and configure and plays just about any media you can throw at it. I run on ASUS Chromeboxes via LibreElec for a nice appliance that my wife can use with ease. I also integrate my HDHomeRun and NextPVR for local OTA channels via my antenna. I use the MySQL database setup that allows me to configure my library from a single source and I can even play and resume from room to room. Plex will do the NextPVR and HDHomeRun but what it will not do is movie sets. I really don't want to wander all over my collection for the 26 individual Jame Bond movies - I like them all behind 1 thumbnail image. I use EMBY for remote but I have no idea if it will do the NextPVR thing. It also is limited in it's execution of movie sets - but will do it. Not as neatly as KODI and not as accurate (at least in my experience). Like vacations; different strokes for different folks. I used everything at one time or another. I started on Twonky and J. River and moved to networked media tanks and on and on. For me - KODI is the easiest and best user experience and fits my needs. YMMV

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions - I did find the issue. How can I mark this post solved? I use AVG antivirus free addition and it includes a "Link Scanner" for Web Browsing protection. Why it would think something in my own LAN was a danger is beyond me. I can find no way to add exceptions at this time so I'll just shut it off. I'm not running AVG on my XP box so that's why there was no issue with it. I hope this helps someone else in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion but no add blocking software of any kind.
