Hi All, New to this, and looking to (finally) replace the OpenVPN docker I had running for quite a while, just in case... I am looking at the guide, and I see on one hand it says: "You must be running Unraid 6.8-6.9 with the Dynamix WireGuard plugin from Community Apps or Unraid 6.10+ (which has the plugin built in)." But then when it starts with the instructions for the UnRAID side, it says: "On Unraid 6.8, go to Settings -> VPN Manager" What about on other versions??

I am running an old Version: 6.9.1 Only extras are Duckdns, Plex, binhex-minidlna, and OpenVPN (yes, I realize this last one is now obsolete and I should look for an alternate option). Any considerations for the upgrade, or can I/should I just jump to 6.12.8 ?

Thanks, will get it installed ASAP. Will also have to remember the correct procedure, not just for replacing the disk per-se but also running pre-clear?

Ok, so I used DiskCheckup, Did a short test, then extended test. In theory these are the results: After Short Test: Extended Test Completed: After Extended test: Would you say it's reasonably safe to use this one to replace the parity disk? Thanks.

Thanks, all useful to know, and will keep all of this in mind! However, though you confirm that "any app that can start the test and view the results will be fine", last main issue is I don't know any app 🤣. Care to recomend a couple or, at least one? (Windows) Thanks.

Are there any notes anywhere regarding considerations for the upgrade depending on your current version?

Thanks, I'll get right on testing the 2 drives I have to see if one could replace it. On the PC I could use, I have crystal info installed. Would that one be good for the test, or do you recommend something else? As per what I read, one just triggers the extended smart test which is done on/by the drive itself, but you see it through an app. Trying to find the easiest way to run and view this.

Thanks, so is there a way to test the parity disk to make sure what I see is accurate and I should just replace it, or what is shown tjere is conclusive and I shouldn't waste time on that and just replace it? I have 2 other 3TB disks I could use, but would want to check them to sre they're good. What's the best way to do this? I have another PC I can easily hook them up to for the testing.

Thanks folks, to be honest, this is a server in my home country I kind of have neglected but want to get it back in line now. I don't know much on how to read S.M.A.R.T. fields and their values and what they mean, something I need to read on for sure. Would any of the other disks need replacing as per stats?: Disk 1: Disk 2: Disk 3: Disk 4: Disk 5: I built this many years ago now, as you can also see from what I guess is not too good a choice for disk size now? Any other recommendations besides current health? Thanks for all your help!

Hello all, I have been away for a while travelling and come back to see one the parity disks is in disabled state. Can anyone help me out to see if this may be due to normal glitches (power cuts out a lot here...) or if the disk does indeed look like it is or will be a goner soon and I should replace it asap? Appreciate any help.

Hi folks, Using linuxserver PLEX docker and I am having a similar issue. Have a server back home (moved abroad) and had not used it for a while. Today I go login and seems I forgot my password or whatever, so I reset it. After that I logged in, and my shares were visible but all with exclamation points and saying "not authorized"/"you don't have permission" etc. Read somewhere I needed to update the docker so I did. Once I did that, I now login to my server, and my shares are gone, don't see server options, etc. I tried doing the claim process and adding the variable, but the result is the same and when I check the log I see: **** Server already claimed **** Docker is used for versioning skip update check [custom-init] No custom files found, skipping... Starting Plex Media Server. . . (you can ignore the libusb_init error) [ls.io-init] done. Appreciate any help on how I get this back to working as a server and seeing my shares.

Thanks! So for recreated .cfgs, I don't have many settings (I think ) beyond watermarks. Would that affect any existing files, or just new file placement as the algorithm decides where to place them? Also, as I only had the "generic" will not boot system and these few unreadable files (8 files total), would say it's worth trying to just format the drive and trying it again, or just get a new flash drive and do the key transfer process to it? (and since I dion't have the "zip file process" done, can I just zip up all I copied, or is there a better way?

Hello folks, My server suddenly does not boot anymore, and started getting EDDBOOT ERROR on boot. Tried moving the flash drive to different ports and nothing. I hooked it up to another computer, and I do see the contents, and I noticed the following: - Trying to copy everything to this other computer, I managed to copy almost everything just fine, *except*, some share .cfg files, and one file called "domain.img" from \config\plugins\dynamix.kvm.manager So I wanted to know the following: - Since it does not look to me that those are critical (well shares are to my setup) for booting, is it possible there are 2 unrelated issues, meaning those files corrupted, but also something preventing it from booting? Besides those files (8 total) the drive behaves "normal" when inserted on the other computer - Are share .cfg files just parameters for the share, and I could recreate basing off other share files? (as long as they have the same parameters etc.) - Is that "domain.img" file standard and I could just obtain it from the plugin site/repository? I assume you would recommend I get a new drive, and reach out to support for a replacement key/GUID thingy? Thanks.

I am having the same refresh problem, but also not quite... I initially set it up to share a specific server share, and that all worked OK. Today I wanted to add another share, so I went ahead and add a new path, and learning the error that you cannot use the same "/media", so tried, even had the docker disappear... Then re-added it, added "/media2" pointing to the other share. Initially seemed to accept it, but nothing was showing up (or better said, the client side was still showing the old content only, both on the device I was already using as well as trying with another device that never connected to the server before). Tried removing that second one, and just leaving the first but changing the path to the new share, and nothing, same result. I now just chose to delete the docker, and I reinstalled it. On the install setup/config page, I chose the new path. Testing it out, clients still see the old folders/share. WTH??? 😳

Got it. Diagnostics have been uploaded. Thanks.
