  1. My best for a Linux machine was 4years. ;)

     

    We moved and I thought it was safer for me to shut it all down than to carry the UPS and pray the drive didn't get bumped in the back of my car for the 15minute drive. lol

    Joking aside, the plugin is useful.  But because the GUI isn't designed to handle that kind of extra space being taken up by it display aberrations can happen on low resolutions.  I could've made it a button along with the rest in the area, but then that would bring up a dialog box to search from, but IMO this design is a better UX.

     

    Figured out a solution for my monitor. Apparently somebody messed with it and reduced the screen resolution. So everything works just fine now. 😃

    Yes the plugin is extremely useful. I was just asking you if the user could adjust the size some how or maybe hack the plugin themselves if need be not talking down your work. I like it and I do plan on keeping it. 

     

    As for one of them. I prefer the simplicity of My laptop while surfing, I use windows a lot at work and do generally do all my hacking/tinkering with things on my windows laptop. I'd like to think I use a little bit of everything on a daily basis. I suppose I could fire up Lynx on my laptop running an old ass build of Red Hat or Slackware. Lol

    When I set it to narrower, the autocomplete looks dumb as it don't fit on a single line.  Hence my comment regarding Custom Tabs.

     

    Either that, or get a better screen on your laptop.

     

    Seeing I'm running a MacBook Pro I can't exactly swap out the screen, but thank you for your response just the same. 

  4. is there any way to adjust the search length box? It totally blows my laptop screen out. 

    Meaning If there was a way to limit the size of the box It would fit my screen.

     

    I did remove a couple of custom tabs that fixed my issue, but............. would be nice to be able to add or remove a few from the search box just incase we'd like to.

    Go to the Gibson Research site and run the Shields Up! tests.

     

    I would at least run this on your IP for starters. It's very useful to at least see what the rest of the world might see. 

    Does it solve every problem? NO, but it will at least show you what somebody else might see if they do a port scan of your IP.

    Oh, I see... and I agree, handling the entire unraid server as "exposed host" would be most unwise, especially if you are running privileged containers and such (which I am). But no, I have only opened port 443, nothing else. My router has a separate checkbox for allowing pings to a specific machine, which (to my knowledge) doesn't even know ports. So thanks for clearing that up!

     

    Back to my original question: Does myservers support the IPv6 protocol (or is planned to)?

     

     

     

     

    Currently it does not support IPv6

  7. What @trurl is talking about your system/appdata is on your array not on your SSD aka what most of us refer to as your Cache drive. 

     

    By keeping your dockers and VM's on your SSD/Cache drive set to Only it will keep your VM's, Docker files on your SSD/Cache so it doesn't spin up your drives when it checks and does things. It will also increase your load speeds of Plex by a HUGE margin because it doesn't have to spin up drives to display thumbnails and other data. 

     

    You mentioned that you have Plex installed on Drives 3 and 5. Are you talking about your Media or the actual Plex docker? Your media can be spanned like that, but I wouldn't encourage having your Plex docker spanned on two different disks like that. Could cause some issues.

    I tried the "competition" Proxmox and I thought the GUI was garbage. Lots of errors and then the task would complete anyway. So back to unraid. I guess those whose first programming language is linux dont mind doing just about everything from a shell but I much prefer an intuitive gui

     

    I do prefer the mixture of the both. I code up a bunch and drop all that into User.Scripts so I can click a button and it does its things. 

     

    There's a lot to be said about a nice interface and knowing how things work in the background. I've always been intrigued with how things work in the background and it cracks me up watching people search for that "button". However, you are totally right you can win or loose a user if the interface is to complicated or simply not there. 

     

    unraid has come a long way for me since 2009 when I started using it the interface was very limited, but it worked very well. Along came some really smart people both internally to limetech and community members who continue to add their spins and polish. 

     

    Do yourselves some favors. If you come up with any ideas no matter how wacky make sure you submit ideas for requests in the forums. Docker/Plugin creators do look there as well as members of limetech. You never know what ideas they might implement. ;)

  9. Keep in mind even if you blow out your Docker and delete it from docker.img your database and all of its files still live on /mnt/cache/appdata/

    Unless of course you delete the docker and use the AppCleanup plugin then it clears it all up. 

     

    And for the record you can uninstall any of the Plex Dockers and re-install any of the "other" Plex dockers as long as your paths line up everything should fire right back up. ;)

     

     

  10. There is

    /mnt/user0/Movies/ - No SSD

    /mnt/user/Movies/ - Does Incorporate SSD

     

    I'm sure you know that thou.

     

    I tried at one time to come up with something of the sort myself, but honestly things started looking really complex tis why I thought storing them in RAM might be a decent idea and your script came to mind. Instead of it looking at the newest files maybe some targeted files would work. 

     

    Could the script possibly be ran weekly proceeding the Mover and if the moved files does get moved have them moved back to the SSD? Otherwise I'd just recommend adding the targeted files to a Cache Only share and adding the share Path to Plex to the same library so they are included and never get moved. 

     

     

  11. SSD's in the array are not recommended as of yet. SSD's for a Cache Pool yes, but not as your sole array. 

     

    I have an RV and I was considering doing this myself some. 

  12. Nice fix. Just be careful using Notepad. Sometimes it might inject some unfriendly unable to see characters that Linux doesn't like when you save it. 

     

    I normally use Nano within command line myself. ;)

     

    nano name-of-file

  13. I'd guess its looking for updates. Shouldn't take long sometimes mine takes up to what I'd guess 10seconds, but it could be speed of your connection and the server its polling from. 

     

    Sometimes the server its polling from could be slow or temporarily having some issues.

  14. Nice I had sorta the same results when I switched out my card too. I more or less did exactly what you did just earlier. 

    I had some bizarre speeds and then all of the sudden drives would drop and indicate bad. 

     

    If your satisfied can you please mark the thread as solved please. Basically just change the topic title. ;) 

  15. You could easily copy all of your appdata to your array using the Backup/Restore plugin then proceed to using the upgrade tool and goto 6.9.1. 

    If things don't work out, take out your SSD restore your OS to 6.8.3 and then rebuild your SSD and restore your appdata. 

     

    For the tool to backup. I'd create a share somewhere on your array. Call it CacheBackup or whatever you like. I personally have mine setup like this. 

    Cachebackup

    ...Appdata

    ...Misc

     

    Appdata = All my AppData obviously

    Misc = Everything else

     

    The reason I create a folder like that for Appdata is the plugin/tool warns that any other data in that folder could be erased so I just took a chance and made a separate folder for it. Even if you don't upgrade I'd personally recommend learing how to use that tool. Its saved me countless times when I have messed up my SSD or upgraded. 

     

    Keep in mind you'll have to reinstall all your dockers which is pretty easily when your on your docker page you click the install docker > From Template and it will have all your previously installed dockers and all of its settings. 

     

    Its it night and day from 6.8.3 to 6.9.1? Honestly no, but like every update there will be security updates and slight tweaks to the UI that make it seem a bit smoother.

    I ran 6.8.3 and then moved to 6.9.Beta-35 which to me seemed like a Happy Medium between 6.8.3 and 6.9.1. 

    The reason I stopped at Beta-35 was I had some spin up issues with 6.9 and my drives wouldn't goto sleep. That has been fixed with 6.9.1 and everything on my end works just fine.
