whiteout

Hi Aran, That‘s the point. This is not possible for my AVM Fritzbox router. Bitte Like I said, I install a test server on a very old Laptop and give a try for my most needed docker. Regards Patrick

Hi Aran, Mindgame: So if I use Bridge mode for AdGuard, which IP should I enter in my router to publish it in my hole network by DHCP? I think I‘ll install a test unraid and try it with this.

Hi Aran, your offer for a free desktop is really generous, thanks for that. I'll think about. The options that will offer this are interesting. I'll come back to you. "DO NOT focus on TDP wattage only." -> no I focus on the number my Kill a Watt is showing me ^^. What I need is a system which uses something round about 30W max. Like I said electricity in Germany is expensive... Anyway, another question. With my current setup, I use for all docker as standard "Network Type" Custom: br0. During the last 2 years I tried to install some different docker like immich or stirling pdf, with bad results that the docker aren't working proper and can't see the used ports. In the YouTube video from the unraid cast show about the installation of stirling pdf, I heard that the standard way of using unraid with docker, is bridge mode. Now I'm thinking further. When I want to install AdGuard oder PiHole, I need a dedicated IP for the docker, to enter this in my router to populate it in my network as standard DNS server. My question is now, what will be the best way? Stay static like before/now or switch to a mixed mode where I use bridge and br0? Regards Patrick

Hi Aran, thanks for your answer. I'm running my current setup with 4 ssds connected by USB in an array over 2 year now. I saw this config in some YouTube videos and it works fine for me. No issues or what so ever. That why I want to go this way. This is also the reason why it is so hard for me to understand why I shouldn't use array, except of the TRIM. Over all for me it's more useful to have an array with the better flexibility than a static pool. Also I'll "loose" possible storage space. I think I "ignore" your advice and stay with the array instead. I'll use the following docker: AdGuard ClamAV LuckyBackup (for the backup to the hdd) Duplicati (for encrypted backup to one drive) Plex TeamSpeak Server

Why should ssd only used in pools instead of an array? If I create an riadz pool, which benefits do I get? I my thinking it's better to create an array, to be able to expand the array later if I upgrade my license like you mentioned. With an raidz pool this is not possible as far as I know. So the idea behind the hdd as unassigned decide, is to use the hdd a dedicated device which is not liked to anything. so if everything went down (fire, explosions, virus, etc.) I just need to grab that device and all is fine. I was thinking about to upgrade to the Pro tier, but my system is limited to max. 7 USB ports, due to the fact that I use a mico pc. Upgrading to plus or pro would not be a benefit for me at the moment. And running a system that can handle all my ssds that I have, would be too expensive energy wise. My Lenovo costs round about 55€ per year just for power 24/7 compared to 300€ an existing HP Z420. Maybe later this year.

Hi everyone, I'm at the point that I want to install unraid fresh on my existing hardware. It grew historical, with all my bad decisions and configuration. And sometimes I get a lot of trouble, when I want to install new apps. So for that I what you're advices, ideas and support. So more or less a brainstorming area. First my hardware setup. I use a Lenovo ThinkCenter M720q, Intel i5-8500T, 32GB RAM, 4 1TB SSD for storage, 256 GB nvme as Cache and storage for my docker and a 2 TB HDD with Unassigned Devices as Backup and as Unraid license an unraid basic. So I use this config for about 2 years and now I want to redesign everything. My idea is to create an array with my 4 1TB SSD and 2 pools. 1 for unraid system folders and one only for my datagrave/nas and all other user files. My nvme should work as boot device and cache, docker location. The 2TB HDD will be used as backup again. Will this work, do you have any suggestions for improvements? Thanks in advance Patrick

Hi, All my docker running on br0. I thought for backup, adguard and clamAV I need br0. I‘m running the latest version of unraid 7.2.4 The Screenshot is showing a docker, when I expand the docker allocations

I googled over the day and found this: Check Container Network Mode: If a container uses Host network mode, it does not use port mapping in the traditional sense, which can cause ??? to appear. Change the container to Bridge mode if you need to manage the ports, or accept that ??? is normal for host-mode containers. Cannsomeone verify this? Thanks Patrick

Hi everyone, I don‘t know for how long, but I don’t see used ports allocated to my docker container. Any idea why? ClamAV and TeamSpeak are not running at the moment. Thanks in advance, Kind regards Patrick

Ok, have to wait. Again, thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot, that was the hint I needed. found this: I now remember why I enter this. Was for some old printer to scan to SMB share on my unraid. So next and hopefully last question, how do I clean up my /var/log folder?

Ok. What is the smb-extra file? And how do I fix this?

Hi everyone, due to Squids suggestion here https://forums.unraid.net/topic/120220-fix-common-problems-more-information/#findComment-1098686 I create a new post. I have exactly this error on my server and can't find the reason why. I don't have any shares which are in- and excluded at the same time. And my server is just running 65 days. Enclose you'll find my diagnostic files. I'm little bit out of my comfort zone, so that's why I call for help. Thanks in advance, kind regards and have a nice weekend Patrick unraid-diagnostics-20260222-0946.zip

Got it working

Update: I activate SMBv1 again and after a restart of my array, my MFC can connect to the server. But unfortunately scanned files still won't be saved.

Hi everyone, after I searched the forum I need to create a new topic. I use an OKI MC562w MFC which is connected to my network via cable. I have a dedicated shared folder and user on my unraid server. I double checked the connection to the folder by opening it from my Win11 and my Mac with the dedicated user. And it is working. Now if I use the same credentials and network path on my MFC the machine can't reach or connect to my unraid server/folder. I activated "NetBIOS" to connect via SMBv1 because the MFC is a very old machine. Unfortunately the MFC still can't connect. So now my question, do you have any suggestions what else I can do? Thanks in advance.

Can confirm that evreything is running fine now. Thanks for your work.

Hi Unraid Team, unfortunately I have the same issue. Logs added. CA-Logging-20250112-0227.zip

Thanks I try this.

maybe? will this create several folder for each backup?

Sure I also have a weekly backup working. I know I can create several profiles, but how can I manage the the profile for the first Sunday ay in the month, runs only then, the second profile on the second Sunday and so on. I only have the options time, day, month and date. I can't tell lucky backup run profile 1 only on the firth Sunday. I can say run the first profile each Sunday, that ist. At least as far as I see it. Daly -> no problem, select a day, a location an go weekly -> If you overwrite your previous back, still no problem, but I want to keep at least 3-4 weekly backups and thats the idea to create here 1, here 2, here 3, here 4

Sure no problem. I don‘t mention it in the beginning. I‘ll use your luckybackup docker. I thought it‘s only for luckybackup.

The idea is to create something like grandfather, father, son backup, to get several backups.

Hi everyone, I have a question. Is it possible to create several backup jobs which starts at an specific day. e.g. Month November Backup 1 Starts on first Sunday Specific Folder e.g. bak1 Backup 2 starts on second Sunday, specific folder bak2, Backup 1 stays untouched. Backup 3 stars on third Sunday, bak1 and bak2 untouched Backup 4 stars on fourth Sunday, bak1 and bak2, bak3 untouched Than next month or 4 weeks later bak1 I think you get it.

So war länger weg, sry konnte nicht Antworten. Wie werden dann die Docker gesichert? Ich mein Unraid selbst sagt, das es Daten hat die nicht geschützt sind? Was wird mit meinen Docker, wenn der Cache über die Wupper geht? Kann ich dann noch einmal alles neu aufsetzten?
