Smackover

Hey quick question: what's the best practice on where to store flash backups (assuming you choose a location on the array)? Cache? A specific disk? A share? TIA.

I’m running Milestone in a Windows 10 VM. All cameras are on a separate VLAN with no internet connectivity. No ports are forwarded, I’m using HomeKit Secure Video to access the feeds remotely.

Thanks—I’ll look at setting up syslog tonight. I do have a UPS, and it is setup with a plug-in to cleanly shutdown the server. One other oddity—I have my camera NVR running on this server, so I can see when the server shutdown based on the recording cutting out. Both instances were at 6:39:xx AM Central US time. Weird.

After running stable for years, I had an unclean shutdown on May 23th, and another this morning. Plug-ins and dockers are auto updated, but otherwise there have been no changes. Attached are my diagnostics—I’d appreciate if someone could take a look. Thanks! tower-diagnostics-20230523-1038.zip tower-diagnostics-20230531-0701.zip

Thanks folks. I actually PM'd the admins, not realizing there was a mod team. Guess I should be more active!

Can we get a ban of user barbara1. They’re sending PM’s with spam links. Thanks!

I've got a quick question on the third note/warning on Pihole: When that says "cannot", is that in the sense that it can't point to the IP of a docker, but if it points to the IP of a router which then in turn points to a docker, that's fine. Or is it in the sense that no matter how many hops there are, Unraid should never end up looking to an internal Docker for DNS? Thanks for the clarification.

With Cloudberry Labs now MSP360, is there any concern that this software will go away? I'm finally getting around to setting up cloud backup for my server, and am debating going this way or just using rclone. Endpoint will be Backblaze B2 regardless.

So based on your screenshot I manually connected via IP from withing Insurgency and also included the port. I was able to successfully connect. Previously I didn't need to include the port. I also noted that the server isn't showing up in the community server browser as it was before. Pretty sure my port forwarding is correct, as it hasn't changed. I'll have to dig into it some more. EDIT: I'm a moron. My Steam GSLT was expired... Thanks for the help and the great dockers!

Is anyone still using the Insurgency Sandstorm docker? I used to work great and now it seems like the server never accepts any connections.

I just set this up and am starting to consider what I should be backing up. I like the idea of a full system image, but frankly I probably don't need it since I can pretty easily re-install Windows and re-download Steam I'm curious what everyone else is doing--full images? Documents/Pictures only?

Works great. Thanks!

Having an issue with the Mordhau docker. I left all settings default and launched the server. I get stuck in a loop trying to start due to a missing file/directory. Any thoughts?

No, you get the same updates as everyone else. If an update breaks something on your specific hardware and you're offsite and cannot fix it, that's you're problem, not unRAID's. You come off as incredibly entitled.

Updates aren’t automatic. If you installed an update remotely and it broke something, that’s on you. This is server maintainance 101.

Is there a decent guide out there on how to setup and connect binhex's DelugeVPN and Couchpotato dockers?

Don't be too harsh on me... Went the entire weekend without a beer doing this... https://xkcd.com/323/

So after I've had a few issues with CouchPotato, I decided to just point Firefox at privoxy to find files manually. However, when I perform a DNS leak test, it fails. I've set network.dns.disablePrefetch;true and network.proxy.socks_remote_dns;true in Firefox. Any other suggestions? Also, how I would test rtorrent to make sure it's also not subject to a dns leak? Thanks!

Anyone have any thoughts? I was reading some bug issues in CP from 2014 that related to large torrent sizes, however the first torrent I tried (which worked) was significantly larger than the ones that are failing. i have had performance issues with rtorrent for a while, particularly with timeouts when adding torrents, i think i may of just cracked it with some performance tweaks to php, can you download the latest rtorrent image and give it a whirl, hopefully it should be more stable. That seems to have done it. The only other thing I was wondering was if there's an easy way to pipe CP through the VPN as well. I need to do some more reading up on Couchpotato, so that I can get it tailored to my environment better. It's so robust, I have a lot of learning to do. Thanks for your help!

So I have rTorrent and CouchPotato (both binhex versions) up and running, but have having some weird problems. The frist two downloads I queued with CP worked fine, but any I add after that give me this error in the CP logs: Anyone have any thoughts?

Well that helped some--I had missed the advanced button. However, it's still not generating a .ovpn file. I'm guessing a permissions issue, but I'll have to take another swing at it tomorrow. Thanks.

I'm having a real hard time with this docker. I have PIA, but at no point am I ever asked to provide my credentials. The web UI doesn't load (connection refused), and I'm unable to copy my .ovpn file into the openvpn folder. Any guidance?
