Hey all,
I am unsure if this was answered somewhere else, as I am new to unraid (The server has been up for 2 weeks). My internet went out for a couple of hours here this evening and I was unable to connect to the server. From browsing what the forum and Reddit have to offer when I google my issue it seems to be a DNS problem but I am not sure where to start in troubleshooting as I have already gone through the Unraid guide (https://docs.unraid.net/connect/help/#how-to-disable-ssl-for-local-access). I will try to give as much context in hopes one of you smarter people may know what is going on.
My ISP's router is passing the router job over to the mesh network in the house. I can see all the devices connected from the app on my phone so I know everything is on the local network. My desktop and PC running Unraid are wired into the routers, and the routers are wired together. The Unraid server IP is statically assigned, I have Pihole installed on the Unraid server with everything on the network pushed to its address for the DNS from the router side.
On the Unraid server, SSL/TLS is set to "yes". I unplugged the modem to sim an outage after going through the guide at the above URL.
I attempted to connect to it from the IP address of the server (my usual way), the "localhostname".local and the ip.hash.myunraid.net using both https and http in front of the URLs. None of them work, When I have ISP connection only the IP and ip.hash address connect to web UI, the localhost.local does not load anything.
I probably have something configured wrong, or something not configured but I am unsure of where to start.
The end goal of solving this is to access my Plex content, and game servers when there is an internet outage.
If there are any photos I can provide to aid in troubleshooting let me know.
Appreciate the time anyone takes to read this.
EDIT 1: I resolved this over the weekend. It was a hardware issue with a port on my router. My PC would not connect to my LAN when ISP connectivity was inactive, hours of troubleshooting to move a cable from my router to my ethernet switch.....
