I'm a bit of a noob at Unraid and Docker, but starting to get the idea. I'm segmenting my lan into several vlan's. I have my more secure lan at 192.168.1.0/24 using vlan=1. I have my iot lan at 192.168.2.0/24 using vlan=2. I'm using a ubiquiti dream machine pro. The PC I'm using for Unraid has one 1gbit interface, and I have installed a card with two 10gbit interfaces. I want to use the 10gbit for the secure lan, and the 1gbit for the iot lan. I configured br0 to be the two 10gbit interfaces on eth0 and eth1 and have them set at vlan1. I configured the eth2 which is 1gbit. The network settings from my unraid network settings page are in the attached pdf. I then created a couple custom networks by entering at the terminal: docker network create nnnnnnnlan (The n's are placeholders for the name I use for my internal network.) docker network create nnnnnnniot I then found this on how to assign the network to a specific ethernet port: docker network inspect nnnnnnnlan | grep "IPAM.Config" | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '"' | xargs -I {} sudo ip addr add {} dev eth0 docker network inspect nnnnnnniot | grep "IPAM.Config" | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '"' | xargs -I {} sudo ip addr add {} dev eth2 When I do a docker network inspect, I can see the networks. I tried setting plex to use the iot network by altering the container for plex to use the custom: nnnnnnniot network. Then restarted the plex container. When I do so, I'm unable to access plex through the user interface in Unraid, by choosing WebUI. When I look under client devices in my UDM Pro router, I don't see an IP address assigned for the eth2 interface. So, I'm guessing I've done something wrong. If I just edit the Plex container to use br0, I'm able to access from the WebUI, and then note the IP address it is getting assigned. I can then access plex from other machines on the network at that IP. So, it seems the plex container is working ok. Right now I have not yet added rules to block access between vlan's on my ubiquiti network. I'm in the process of getting items on the right vlan and working, then I'll put in place rules on the UDM Pro router. How is the best way to achieve choosing which Docker containers get put on each vlan, and still allow for access from the WebUI for Unraid as well? Thanks! screencap NetworkSettings.pdf

Jorge, Thanks for the efforts. No, I do not have cables to try the controller with a stand alone disk. I'd need to go buy them. I think my next avenue is to open a ticket with QNAP. This enclosure is supposed to work with Linux... not sure what they'll think about it when Linux is there, but with Unraid. I think this might be the best option. Unfortunately this means I have to get serial numbers, etc off the QNAP, which I think are on stickers on the bottom of the unit. So, I need to pull it out of my networking closet. This may take a day or two, as I have other things I must finish. Then will likely take some time from QNAP once I get the support ticket entered. If you have any other ideas of things I might try... I'm willing to try pretty much anything. I do appreciate the help, and will include what you've found in my communications with QNAP! Thanks so much for the help! I'll let you and others know how I make out with QNAP. Again, if you have any ideas of things I should try, I would be happy to do so.

JorgeB, thanks for offering assistance! The attached diagnostics file was after I perform a startup as suggested by QNAP. I start the TL-D800S JBOD first. I let it finish its' boot sequence where it recognizes the interfaces. I then power up the HP Prodesk 600 G6 SFF. I see the LED's on the front of the QNAP change to green during the early portion of the boot process, for any of the bays with a drive installed. When I look at the array after logging into the web interface on Unraid, I see the array drives as not recognized, even though the LED's on the QNAP are green. I then pulled the five drives in the array. After seeing all the green LED's go away, I reinserted the drives. The drives show up in the array under unraid shortly after, then followed by me being able to manually start the array. After starting the array I downloaded the diagnostics. I've read in the forums, where several others seem to have this issue with this QNAP JBOD device. I'm sure several of us would be overjoyed if you helped solve this! Thanks, Brian tower-diagnostics-20240320-1947.zip

I'm using a QNAP JBOD device, the TL-D800S. This using the QXP-800eS-A1164 SATA expansion card which is based on the ASM1164. I have the expansion card for the interface in an HP Prodesk 600 G6 SFF i7-10700 with 32GB RAM. On a cold power up, there are drives in the array that don't seem to get recognized, they show up as unattached. If I do a hot unplug and plug, they then get recognized and I'm able to start the array. I'm new to UnRaid, but the array is working great once it starts, until a power down. I have the autostart option set to yes in Disk Setting in Unraid. Any ideas on how I might fix this? I'm an UnRaid newbie, only have had my system up for about a week. Any help is appreciated.

I was delayed for a bit, but I'm having success now that I'm working on it. It took me about a week to get things working with UnRaid. Just the normal... learning the software issues. I have an array set up with two parity drives. I have a cache pool of two SSD's that are mirrored. I have one issue with the QNAP TL-D800S. When I do a startup, some of the drives in the array don't get recognized. So, I have to removed the unrecognized drives and reinsert them. With the QNAP JBOD this is a less than 60 second job. Then I log in to the web interface and start the array. As this thing will live in my networking closet on a UPS, powered up 24/7, I don't foresee this as a big issue. I will likely post on the forum, see if someone else has figured out the issue. I've also been able to get a Docker instance of Plex running, my movies, music, tv shows, all on the array, serving to Roku's running the Plex app, as well as our phones, tablets and computers. SpaceInvaderOne's YouTube videos are an invaluable resource. He does a great job. I usually have him open in a browser window on one side of my ultrawide monitor, and unraid open in the other side, following his instructions... with me pausing lots! I'm happy with UnRaid, looking forward to doing much more!

pzg417, Thanks for the perfect answer... concise, yet complete answer. I should be starting my UNRAID journey soon!

I've been evaluating options for a NAS with the ability to also handle some containers for various services. It looks like UNRAID might be a nice fit. I was trying to determine if the SATA JBOD device I'm using will work with UNRAID. I'm using a QNAP TL-D800S SATA JBOD enclosure. It supports eight drives. The QNAP documentation says it works with Ubuntu. I was looking to determine which version of Linux that UNRAID is built on. I've not been having much luck. Does anyone have info on if the TL-D800S will work with UNRAID, or if they feel that it is supported by Ubuntu that UNRAID should also be ok? The card for the TL-D800S will be going into a HP Prodesk 600 G6 SFF i7-10700 32GB, so I believe more than adequate for handling the QNAP in addition to running UNRAID and a number of containers. Just trying to get a feel for if it is worth the time to try, or if anyone else out there has used this solution and knows it works. Thanks for any and all help!
