I think moving the disks to the new NAS and then upgrading parity makes total sense. Thank you. Can any unraid installation do the preclear, or do I have to do it on the installation that "owns" the array that I will be adding the disk to?

HI folks, I currently have a 4-bay NAS with 4 8TB HDDs in it. One is used for parity. I have bought a new NAS (Opnnas for those wondering) and 4 26TB drives. How do I go from my current NAS to the new NAS? At the end of the day, I’d like my new NAS to have a 26TB parity drive, all of the data from the old NAS should still be intact and usable, and the current 8TB parity drive will just become a regular drive in the array. How do I get to my desired setup?

That is the IP that I am speaking of. However, what i want to do is the following in NGINX env LAN_IP; set $upstream_app $LAN_IP; So if unraid knows its own LAN IP, I can set that as part of the environmental variables on startup.

Does unraid OS automatically store the LAN IP anywhere? I'd like to automatically add the LAN_IP in the environmental variables on startup, and was wondering what the best way to achieve that is. I saw what teh command `env` provides, but no LAN IP there.

Do you think I need to get in touch with the laptop manufacturer?

They allow you to use a custom EDID but I have tried to set it up and failed. I dunno how to set the resolution on the laptop.

How do I change the laptop's resolution? I usually do this via the OS, but I don't know if unraidOS has this option. Do you have an EDID for that custom resolution?

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone here has successfully used JetKVM with unraidOS. I have two units, and neither unit actually works. I'm running unraidOS 7.0.1 on a laptop (Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Q420), but when I log in to JetKVM's web UI, I see the screen only partially. I can't log in to unraid because that part of the UI is not displaying in JetKVM. I've tried different EDID configurations, but none work. My laptop has a 2880 x 1800 screen, which is apparently not a very common dimension. I don't know where / what the problem is, so I am trying to see if others have had issues with unraid and JetKVM.

I had to force a reboot. I'm not sure if filling up the cache caused this, but it's the only thing I can think of.

The message was given when I ssh'd into my unraid box and ran `mover start`; I don't know why I would see another app's logs.

Hi folks. I ran the mover manually today, and I noticed this in the logs: move: /mnt/cache/data/torrents/cross-seed/links/LST/Show.Name.S01.2160p.SOURCE.WEB-DL.x265.10bit.HDR.DDP5.1.Atmos-GROUP/Show.Name.S01E05.Episode.Title.2160p.SOURCE.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.DV.HDR.H.265-GROUP.mkv -> /mnt/cache/data/media/tv/Show Name (Year)/Season 1/Show Name - S01E05 - Episode Title WEBDL-2160p.mkv Success Please note that ChatGPT has anonymized the show name, but I assure you it is in the public domain. Anyway, it seems to me incorrect for anything to be moved from cache to cache; why make the hardlink to the cache anyway? Am I missing something here? Should I NOT use the cache for automatted, public domain media? My write speeds on the array is slow, hence why I use the cache.

Hi folks, My server has become unresponsive. I can neither load up the web GUI nor ssh into the machine. I believe this is due to me having filled up the cache drive - I left some linux ISOs downloading overnight. What is my next step here?

@bmartino1 FYI, this worked very well, but there was a piece missing. Since I'm creating symbolic links, the Plex docker container also has to have access to the source data, and that source data must be accessible via the same path as the links. What I mean is this: `/mnt/user/plex/music/some_directory/some_file.flac` points to `/mnt/user/data/music/some_directory/some_file.flac`. This means that Plex must have access to the source files via that directory: ``` --volumes /mnt/user/data/music:/mnt/user/data/music:ro ``` So we mount the source directory with the same path inside the container as outside the container, because the symlinks are "references" for our purposes to the source.

@bmartino1 Thanks for such a thorough solution; I think it makes complete sense. I've hit the donate button! :-)

Hi all. I have a media library (all music is public domain) in my /mnt/user/music share. I want some docker containers to be able to access all folders - say qBittorrent for the purposes of sharing said music, and plex, I only want to have access to some folders. For example, I usually have FLAC versions, and I want to make the Plex folder unable to access the MP3 and V0 versions. How would I go about doing this? I tried using `chown` and `chmod`, but when i try to run a container as anyone other than `root` or `nobody` user, it says `unable to find user steven: no matching entries in passwd file`, even though I see it in `cat /etc/passwd`....

Turns out that docker cannot hardlink across mount points. Solution was to remove the second mount point and then make hardlinks to same mount point as the original: ``` - /mnt/user/data/personal:/data/personal ``` And `/mnt/user/data/personal/cross-seed/links:/links` just gets converted to a "hardlink into "/data/personal/cross-seed/links". Thanks to @ash2ruin on the UnraidOfficial discord.

Oh - a file might be stored in drive1 of the array, and cross-seed is trying to create a hardlink on drive2 of the array. I do not know how to fix this, or if it is even the problem.

Hi folks, I am running into the following error when running cross-seed in a docker container: ``` debug: Error: EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted, link '/data/personal/movies/the_beach_summer_2024.mkv' -> '/links/HomeMovies/the_beach_summer_2024.mkv' ``` My setup is as follows: - unRaid Version 6.12.14 2024-11-2 - I have a share at /mnt/user/data. This uses cache for primary - Running cross-seed:6.1.1 - Mounts on the docker are: - /mnt/user/data/personal:/data/personal - /mnt/user/data/personal/cross-seed/links:/links I am wondering if the issue is that the source exists on the array, and cross-seed is trying to create the hardlink on the cache?

Hey ya'll. This is more of a general docker question, but the problem I am having is on paperless-ngx, so here I am. Anyway, I had a working paperless-ngx docker container running. I then when to "edit" the template, and I put in some extra parameters. This caused the updates to fail when I clicked "apply". Now the container is not running, and it is not in the "stopped" state. It's just gone. I know that the data is stored elsewhere, but how do I instantiate the container again without having to re-input all the parameters I had before (since I've now forgotten them).

Thank you. That is awesome!!!

Let's say I have a schedule to run the script on an hourly basis, but the script itself takes more than an hour to run. Would I have multiple instances of the script running? Or would a subsequent run only execute if the script is not already running?

This worked! Thank you. I too am using `swag` with `letsencrypt` to generate SSL certificates. Whenever swag renews the certificate, I have to copy the `priv-fullchain-bundle.pem` cert to `/boot/config/ssl/certs/` folder as `unraid_unraid_bundle.pem`. I do this because I have a DNS record at Cloudflare that maps `unraid.<secondleveldomain>.cc` to my LAN IP address for the unraid server - i.e., 192.168.50.229. I can access my unraid server via the hostname with a SSL cert that is not self-signed, and the unraid server is still not exposed to the public internet.

Hey ya'll, my understanding is that unRaid is a heavily modified version of Slackware, and that got me thinking. If I wanted to use the unRaid OS as close to "just" Slackware as possible, what are the modifications that I would need to be aware of? I know that this is a bad idea - I don't actually think I'm going to do something like this. I can just install a docker container and that would be much safer, but I just wanted to poke at this thought. One example that comes to mind is that the `config` file for SSH is not at $HOME/.ssh/config but in /boot/config/ssh/config. I am sure there are a slew of other modifications.

Ah - so normal desktop motherboards expose their SATA and PCIe ports? I only ask because I'm using my "normal" laptop, and it doesn't have any of those connections. All it has is USB-C / A ports. Final question, if you only have 6 SATA, ports, let's say, is there a way to connect more than 6 hard drives? I'm sure there are, but what are the options, and how much would they degrade performance?

what kind of setup would make sense? I hear folks use NAS but doesn’t that come with its own operating system? Do I need some kind of computer setup that exposes SATA ports directly? I’m just not sure how to attach storage as directly as possible to the computer, or in the correct way.
