That explains it! Thank you so much.

Hi Folks, This probably seems like a rudimentary question, but I could not find info on the forums for what causes Unraid to highlight a given share on the "Dashboard" tab. My "appdata" share is highlighted in orange. What does this mean? Thank you!

Yeah, I could've sworn I had this setup but I must've turned it off since I had Tailscale. My Unraid Connect only shows me LAN connections unfortunately.

Weird, are you able to access this? I'm getting this error: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable nginx Edit: Never mind, it's back up! Thanks again

This is really helpful still. Is there documentation for this I can look into, so when I get back home I can implement it?

Yes, apologies. The docker service was turned off. Thank you for verifying! Maybe it's a sign I stop binging watching shows and fiddling with server and start focusing on my studies lol.

Also, in case I wasn’t clear and am confusing folks. I don’t mean the container being stopped. I know for a fact the container is set to auto-start. I went to Settings > Docker > Set the first option to turn off docker.

I don‘t recall explicitly turning on auto-start for docker but I have restarted the server before and everything turned on automatically. I just never explicitly turned off docker and restarted the server. I wanted to see if anyone else was familiar with this specific use case of docker being off and restarting the server to turn it on before I have my buddy take the time do to this for me.

Hi Folks, In a bit of a situation. I set up my Unraid server to be accessed remotely through Tailscales while I am away for a couple of months this summer. Everything has been perfect for the past month and a half while streaming my media. I accidentally turned off docker 🙃 when trying to restart it. I am honestly not sure why I even did that....total brain fart. This then caused my Tailscale to turn off amongst other containers and I lost remote access. I have someone who can go into my home and turn off the server and turn it back on (they're are not the most technically inclined but I'm pretty sure power button pressed for 1sec will initiate graceful shutdown). Since I have auto-start for the array and for most of my containers (including Tailscale) I should be good right? Even though I manually turned off docker, will Docker turn back on if restart the server? or am I out of luck for the rest of my trip? One more thing I will mention is that I can see the server online in Unraid Connect and I have VM that I can remotely access through Teamsviewer, but I am not sure if I can turn it on through the Unraid Connect. The VM is currently turned off, so not sure if I can do anything with that. This is definitely a learning lesson and I will be implementing a redundant remote access in the future. Thank you!

Right on, thanks for that. I have a handful of USB's around me.....all Sandisk acquired over the years lol, guess those will be continued to be used for ISO. I do however, have a Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 16GB but its USB 3.0. I should probs avoid that one too huh?

I clearly didn't not do enough research. I did not realize that unRAID did not run directly off a internal drive, but a USB instead. I think I'm going to plan to drop the 240GB drive and pick up a reliable USB for the OS. Also, yes I do plan on buying mostly everything used since there's a market for these items (except the drives since I have them already). Then put the dockers and VM's on the Cache drive. I was also recommended these in the case I want Intel QuickSync. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hmDRtn i3-12100 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VZcDv3 i5-12400

Continued research over the weekend and changed the build a bit more to include a NVME Cache and larger OS/Docker Storage. Any advice would be awesome!
