Thank you, but I have my reasons for wanting my servers to come back up after a brief power outage. Chief among them being that they are running my NVR software. Do you know how to get an APC UPS to power down after server shutdown via PCnet or SNMP driver?
-
Late to the party!
I have the same setup, and am trying to use the NMC3 card because I will have two Unraid servers in my rack.
I've got it working via the PCnet driver, and it gets information back and shuts down at the appropriate time. However, I cannot get the Turn off UPS after shutdown option in the Unraid configuration to work. This is of relevance to me, because I want my UPS to come back on automatically after restoration of utility so that my server can also come back on automatically after restoration of of the UPS.
Update: I've also tested it over SNMP. Everything but the UPS powerdown works there too.
If anyone has any insight on getting this element to work, it would be appreciated! -

Why'd y'all wait until you were called out for hiding it in the code? Seems like a lot of people were ringing the warning bells when Unraid connect was announced and were called paranoid conspiracy theorists. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, that's a damn duck in my book.
Yep, sure was hidden. Right there in the files accessible to anyone running Unraid. I'm shocked it was found.

For what it's worth @limetech, I really like this model. Aquacomputer does something similar with their Aquasuite software - you pay yearly for a subscription to updates, but once you've bought it once, it's yours to use with full functionality (of whatever version you last updated to) forever.
I'm still somewhat concerned about security. Aquacomputer's software is for programming a fan controller. This is a server OS.

Thanks for making this all clear!
One question: will non-subscribed licenses continue to receive security updates?

I have a test server that I use to vet changes before making them to my main server. I'm working on figuring out how to add a GPU for Plex hardware encode, so I installed it in my test server and enabled the bind in the System Devices menu. All went well. I shut down my test server and removed the device.
Now, on boot, my test server throws a VFIO Bind error and won't start my VMs automatically. I know why - I didn't unbind the hardware before removing it - what I don't know is how to unbind it now. It no longer populates in the system devices menu. -

This is not quite true. It can be any size, but the issue is that it needs to be formatted as FAT32, and Windows does not support doing this on drives larger than 32GB. Third party tools such as Rufus CAN do this.
This is good to know. Still feel like a waste to tie up a 32+ gb drive for Unraid boot duty.

I know this isn't a feature request for Unraid, per se, but it's an idea I picked up from someone in Australia who I helped convince migrate from TrueNAS to Unraid.
I've been evangelizing Unraid pretty heavily since I started using it, and explaining the flash drive requirements to people is always a sticking point. Needs to be a quality drive (what does that even mean?) with a GUID (how can you tell before you buy it?) and can't be over 32gb (literally getting difficult these days for some people.)
It would be fantastic if LimeTech sold some Unraid-appropriate flash drives, maybe 2 to 4 gigabytes in capacity, low profile, from a reputable OEM. They could even feature the Unraid logo on the end.
I'd buy two.

I did, and they have no files elsewhere. They are flagged as protected in the Shares tab, but I was referring to the Shares "widget" on the Dashboard tab, where my two cache-only shares show up in orange instead of blue text.
-
Hm... I think I misinterpreted the orange text on the main page as "unprotected" when it just means cache only. Disregard. User error.
-
I prefer to keep my appdata and domains shares on mirrored SSD pools with exclusive access. Unraid flags these as "unprotected" in the UI, I assume because they don't have secondary storage on the array. I understand the logic but the mirroring is a form of protection too.
Green dots everywhere, please. 😁

That did the trick, thank you!

I have a Windows 10 vdisk that I would like to move some files to directly from another disk on my server within Midnight Commander, as moving the files inside the VM takes an unacceptable amount of time.
I'm attempting to follow SpaceInvaderOne's tutorial here:
Everything goes well until I actually mount the drive. I get the following error:
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting.)SI1 got the same error on his first attempt, and he says "let me just go cleanly shut down that VM and try this again."
As far as I am aware though, I am cleanly shutting down my VM - I'm logging into it via RDP and shutting it down from the Start Menu.
Is there something here I'm missing on "cleanly" shutting down a Windows 10 VM? -

This is for both of you:
You have to change the ports in your server config or your startup parameters.
If you have done this, also don't forget to delete the existing port mapping(s) from the container template and create new one(s) with the according port(s) that you've set in the config/start up parameters as the host and container port(s) (and also don't forget to choose the right protocol too!).
The existing ones won't work anymore because you've changed it in the config/start up parameters.
Also please don't try to attempt to change only the ports which are also exist currently in the template, that won't work for most games, you have to change them in the config/start up parameters, delete them and create new ones with container and host port set to the ones from the config/start up parameters.
I see what I missed. I forgot to change the ports inside the container as well as outside. I fiddled with the old container but it wouldn't work. As soon as I created a new container with all the settings correct though, it came up in my client server list right away. Thanks for the help!

I believe I have done this. I've deleted and created new port mappings in the template and added the appropriate parameter with matching ports.
Here are my settings:
-log -unattended -multihome=0.0.0.0 -Port=7787 -ServerQueryPort=15787 -BeaconPort=15010and

Hi! I've got a new Unraid server spun up and am hosting a Satisfactory server on it with no issue using your docker image.
I'm attempting to host a second instance of the server for a private game. I've found and followed the steps outlined in this Reddit post:
And here are my settings:
(The ones not pictured I have left as default.)
Attached is my log.The container starts, but I am unable to connect to it from my client on my gaming PC. It shows the server as offline / pending authentication. From the errors I'm assuming it hasn't actually started. I'm sure I'm missing something dumb - anyone have any advice?
Thanks!

I have probably found the answer to this question without understanding what I was reading, I apologize if it's a dumb question...
When I build my Unraid server, let's say I have six data disks attached and in the array, and I create one share that my household uses.
Does that share automatically distribute that data across all six disks, or do I need to pick a specific disk for the share to be mapped to?
HOWTO: Shutting down APC Smart-UPS when using NMC (apcupsd pcnet killpower)
in Hardware
Posted
Hi! I'm fighting with a similar issue. I can get my APC Smart-UPS 1500 with NMC3 to communicate with my Unraid server, and the server shutdown on specific battery level or time on battery works. However, I cannot get it to properly issue a UPS shutdown command.
I've attempted the above fix with both PCnet and SNMP drivers in Unraid. The SNMP community on my UPS is configured for Write+. Both outlet groups on the UPS are configured for a 300 second power-off delay. My server's IP is configured as a PowerChute client.
Watching the logs on my server, I see this during a UPS-triggered shutdown:
I'm not sure if the last line in the log is related to the second to last line in the log. In either case, the UPS does not shut down after the pause.
My next stop is NUT, but I would stubbornly prefer to manage this all within Unraid "natively" if I can.
