📝 Bug Report Draft: Missing novnc_proxy / VM Console Fails on 7.1.4System: Unraid OS 7.1.4 (upgraded in place from 7.0.x) Hardware: [insert your board/CPU/RAM if you want, not strictly required] Not running in Safe Mode Summary: On one of my Unraid 7.1.4 servers, all VM Console sessions fail with “Failed to connect to server”. This appears to be due to the novnc_proxy script being missing from the Dynamix VM Manager plugin folder. The same version (7.1.4) on a different server does not exhibit the problem — VM consoles work fine there. Steps to reproduce: Start any VM (tested with Windows 11 and Debian 12). Click Console from the VMs tab. Browser attempts to connect to /wsproxy/5700/ or /wsproxy/5701/. Console fails with “Failed to connect to server”. What we expected: noVNC proxy should launch on port 570x, bridge to QEMU VNC (590x), and display the VM console in browser. What actually happens: QEMU VNC listener appears correctly on 127.0.0.1:5900/5901: ss -lntp | grep 590 LISTEN 127.0.0.1:5900 qemu-system-x86 No novnc_proxy process ever spawns: pgrep -af novnc_proxy # returns nothingNo websocket listener on 570x: ss -lntp | grep 570# only unrelated docker-proxy entriesnginx logs show connection reset when proxying to 127.0.0.1:570x. Diagnostics / further checks: Verified Safe Mode is not enabled. All plugins (Community Apps, etc.) load normally. Verified the novnc proxy script is missing: ls -l /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/scripts/novnc_proxy ls: cannot access '.../novnc_proxy': No such file or directory Rebooted multiple times → issue persists. Compared against another 7.1.4 server → novnc_proxy exists there and consoles work normally. Attempted workaround by exposing direct VNC in VM XML (listen=0.0.0.0 port=5999) → works from an external VNC client, confirming the VMs themselves are healthy. Tried to reinstall VM Manager via Plugins tab, but VM Manager does not appear as a standalone plugin (expected, since it’s part of the core Dynamix suite). Tried to force reinstall 7.1.4 via Tools → Update OS, but Update reports “You already have the latest version” and offers no reinstall option. Impact: On this system, browser-based VM consoles are completely unavailable. All VMs must be accessed via external VNC/SPICE clients, which is not normal behavior. Suspected cause: Corruption or missing files from the 7.1.4 upgrade on this system (at least /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/scripts/novnc_proxy). The rest of the Dynamix VM Manager appears to function (VMs start/stop/edit normally). Requested resolution: Provide a way to re-install the Dynamix VM Manager / noVNC component without reinstalling the entire OS from USB. Or confirm if this is a packaging bug in 7.1.4 that can cause incomplete deployment of novnc_proxy on some systems. Ideally, Update OS should offer a “Reinstall Current Version” option to recover missing core files. Workarounds used so far: Direct VNC via modified <graphics> XML (listen=0.0.0.0 port=5999) → confirms VMs are healthy. SSH tunnel to 127.0.0.1:5900 works as well. None of these restore browser console, only external access. s3v3nd34dly51ns-diagnostics-20250904_1522.zip

I've been struggling with this for some time and finally found a fix and wanted to share it. I have been using the Dolibarr container since it's heyday and introduction before it was using the official Dolibarr github and have amassed a collection of modules (self purchased and installed from the Dolistore). Since it's inception of using the official Dolibarr repo I was faced with an issue where when attempting to install an external app or module would constantly pull up and error telling me that "Installation of external module is not possible from the web interface for the following reason: Failed to write in directory /var/www/html/custom" So on every container or server reboot I would have to CLI into the container and adjust the permissions for the container and readd my modules due to no persistence in the volumes. However this morning I was able to resolve that and would like to share what I did in case someone else has that issue. Within the Dolibarr template you will want to add another Path, name it Custom Modules, the container path will be /var/www/html/custom the host path will be /mnt/user/appdata/---docker_container_name_here---/dolibarr/var/www/html/custom be sure to change the ---docker_container_name_here--- to your actual docker container name if you had changed it. Now on server or container reboot you will have persistent storage of your modules.

Sorry about the late response, so fresh install of Unraid on USB no disks - stuck on boot Thinking the power outage may have very well compromised my raid controller, as I've tried 1,2 and no disks and it keeps getting hung up. Thankfully it's ix Systems 6 bay 4 Opteron server and I already have 3 other identical ones sitting in my home lab. 1 of which I was deciding what to do with (well I guess I know now). Hopefully it will be just a process of swapping out the bays, inserting the USB and taking off like nothing even happened. We'll see.

Experienced a power outage while I was out of town and unfortunately by the time power was restored my UPS had already gone through it's battery. Unraid attempted to reboot however it now keeps getting stuck in the boot at Sata4: SATA link up 3.0Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) it boots 2 other disks before this and then stops, this is worrying as I have several (8 disks total) that are in my array. I have attempted both Safe Mode with GUI as well as Safe Mode without GUI and every attempt leads back to this. Has anyone else run into this and if so were you able to recover from it and most importantly if you were, how did you recover from it?

Same Issue, have yet to find a solution. I'll be working within the VM and for no apparent reason it just stops responding, the only way to get back into the system is to force stop it then start the VM again and continue, 10-15 minutes later it freezes again. Very frustrating.

A subscription based update, I have referred many many people to use Unraid as their choice operating system due to the tiered licensing plan. It is unfortunate that this is even being considered. I as well as the many that I have referred will be looking for alternatives. I get it, it's difficult to keep a rolling model operating system out with only one time purchases and pay for developers and staff. However many of us who chose Unraid as our choice operating system for our NAS storage solution chose it due to it's licensing options. If subscription costs are relatively reasonable, then perhaps it's a means to better development and bug fixes. However, if subscription prices are not, I for one will be looking for an alternative as well if this pricing model goes through, as I already have a ton of subscription services already taking their pound of flesh. Definitely will lose referrals.
