Is there a free alternative to Pulseway that is available through the CA?

I'm using VirtioFS to create a secondary drive in my Windows Server 2012R2 VM that is linked to an unraid share. My WS2012R2 VM was created from a physical copy of my old Windows Server that I had running prior to migrating over to Unraid. I'm trying to get the VM working so that I can keep the AD/domain functions working for the time being for a number of Windows 10 PCs I have in the household. In my old Windows Server setup, I had a D drive that was on a HDD where the Windows share folders are created. The D drive/folders were not included in the virtualization of the server--I only included C drive. I was hoping I can just link an unraid share to the VM using VirtioFS and have the VM access the file history, client backup, and other data I've copied over from the old server install. I was able to get the unraid share added to the VM. It shows up as Z: drive. I was hoping I can just modify the share folder within the Windows Server VM to point it to Z:. But Windows Server isn't letting me choose the VirtioFS share. Z: drive doesn't show up when I'm trying to remap the share folders. I thought that by using VirtioFS it would make the unraid share look like a physical HDD within the VM. Is that the case and I'm just configuring it incorrectly? Or is that a limitation of VirtioFS for now?

I'm asking the question here because I've been trying to create a docker container to run a simple python script and I'm in way over my head. So hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. A little background... I've migrated from a Windows Server (2012R2) to an Unraid server and have gotten everything set up. I'm now migrating all the little servers/apps that I had running on the Windows Server, one being a little python script called Alarmserver that I have running to allow the Envisalink module attached to my DSC alarm system to talk to a plugin in Homebridge. The server is a bunch of .py files along with a alarmserver.cfg where I've edited with the configuration settings needed for alarmserver to run. I'm trying to move this to Unraid. I want to avoid having to run a Windows VM to run this in a Windows environment. I figure a docker container would be the most efficient way to do this. And I've found numerous docker containers in Docker Hub created by other users for this. But since I already have a folder with the script and a customized configuration file already set up, I'd like to just take that folder and put it in a container and run it, similar to what I'm doing in Windows. c:\python27\python.exe c:\alarmserver\alarmserver.py -c c:\alarmserver\alarmserver.cfg So what's the simplest way to get this into a docker container in Unraid? Thanks in advance.

I have a similar situation and instead of starting a new thread, I'm hoping I can put the question here. I'm also a new unraid user and I've set up a test server using 2 old 1TB drives I had lying around. One was assigned the parity and one was used as a data drive in the array. I've set up the shares and a few docker containers along the way. I'm now comfortable with the set up that I would like to add the real drives that I will be using on the new server. I've purchased 2 x 18TB drives and I've already replaced the 1TB parity drive with one of the 18TB drives. I've successfully completed a parity check. Now I'm trying to figure out what is the easiest/quickest way to replace the 1TB data drive with the other 18TB drive. I've pre-cleared the 18TB drive already. But here's where I'm not sure what's the best way to replace the 1TB drive. I've read that I can simply shut down the server, remove the 1TB data drive, and stick in the 18TB pre-cleared drive. The server is supposed to be able to rebuild the array on the new 18TB drive. But my question is... with only 1 data drive in the array (which would get removed), is that possible?

Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind and switch back if I still getting crashes.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. So instead of ipvlan, I switched to macvlan and now it's behaving as expected and the hosts are showing up on my router's connected devices list.

New to setting up unraid (still in the process) but I've noticed something which I am finding odd. Just want to confirm if this is as it should be or not. From experience in setting up VMs on a Windows server where the VM is set up on bridged mode, the VM would show up on my Eero list of connected hosts with an unique IP address assigned by Eero. I've set up a couple of docker containers in Unraid and a few of them I've set up to use br0, which I understand is bridge mode. But I've noticed the host does not show up on Eero's list of connected devices. I'm still able to access the host using the assigned IP address (or one that I've hardcoded into the configuration), but the host doesn't show up or is seen by the Eero router. Is this normal behavior or am I missing something?

Just want to give kudos for this post... I'm setting up a new unraid server and just got Plex installed last night. But the streaming wasn't working (threw up a VAAPI error). Was pulling my hair out trying to figure things out then saw this post about HW transcoding not working with the latest Plex version. Rolled it back to the version above and now it is working!!! Thank you!
