  1. That's weird, I'm 100% sure that option was there yesterday. Indeed clicking on the icon on the far right works, I hadn't noticed because I was using advanced view. I finally managed to get Tautulli working well, but I'm having some issues with Ombi. I get to the login page fine, but after I login I'm getting "400 Bad Request The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port". I'm following the template of the readme, but not the custom docker network, so I put in my IP address.
  2. Thanks to @CHBMB and @bonienl for their very clear responses. It clears a lot of stuff up. Now I have yet another question. Yesterday when I clicked on the docker icon in the docker page on the GUI I had the option to look at the logs, but now for some reason it's gone and I can't find the logs in the appdata folder either. Does anyone know how I can get that option back?
  3. I'm still trying to get to grips with this. One thing I don't understand is the benefits of having a custom bridge network. As far as I understand that's a feature from 6.5.1, so how was this done before then? Is there a downside in all dockers being "bridge" instead of "host"? I'd rather not make the change unless it's absolutely necessary or there are some big tangible advantages. Is it more secure? I've seen it on this thread that to access the unraid GUI a VPN is recommended since otherwise it's a huge security risk and that someone getting access to your dockers is not as bad, but if someone gets access to your sonarr and radarr they can literally delete your whole server in minutes, so if I get better security with a custom network I'd definitely go for that.
  4. Because I don't understand it and I can't edit the first post, so there's little point in doing it if it's gonna be lost somewhere on a huge thread like this. Once I figure it out if you promise to put it in the first post so people can actually see it, I've got no problem doing it, though I fear it will be after spaceinvaderone releases his video (which should definitely be linked to in the first post IMO). Edit: Also the fact that mods are volunteers is a Limetech decision and as a paying customer I really don't care one way or the other. This isn't a forum for some free open source project. It's a paid OS (and not cheap!), so I don't think expecting decent support is out of the question.
  5. I understand why step by step instructions wouldn't be in the readmes, like I said it's out of their scope (which is why people like me prefer guides). I was talking more about your point of not putting that information in the first post and relying just on the manual. Like you said, this application has many uses and works on many OSs, but if I come to the unraid forums it's not unthinkable to expect the specific knowledge gathered in 89 pages of this thread to be summarized on the first post. You say it's unnecessary, but I strongly disagree. I understand if it can't be done by you and the developers on the container, but it's certainly something that could be done by the mods and experts in this thread. Setting this up for a normal user is actually pretty hard, it requires a lot of steps and failure in any of them can render it inoperable. Since a big selling point of unraid is the flexibility afforded by dockers one would think it would be a priority to make installing stuff like this as easy as possible. Also I love to learn how to do this stuff, which is why I found the third party guide so underwhelming, it just offered a premade default file with no explanation on how or why it was made. I think that's the reason spaceinvaderone's videos are so popular here. He explains the stuff pretty well and goes over every step without skipping stuff that's "too simple". When he makes his video on this topic it should be linked in the front page. Thanks for your suggestion on the browser stuff, I'll do that.
  6. It would. Since it's critical information it should be posted in as many places as possible (repetition is not a bad thing in this place), not in the last paragraph of not even the main readme. I was following the "complete" guide that was recommended in this very forum and is the first google result of let'sencrypt + unraid and it makes absolutely no mention of this. This one: https://cyanlabs.net/tutorials/the-complete-unraid-reverse-proxy-duck-dns-dynamic-dns-and-letsencrypt-guide/ It's very important for the less technically savvy (like myself) for all the steps to be consolidated into one place, which is why guides are my go to rather than the readmes of the application itself that won't go over setting up your dns or forwarding your ports because it's outside it's scope. I think the next video of spaceinvaderone will cover this very issue and honestly I can't wait. I found the "complete" guide pretty terrible since it skips a lot of crucial steps and stops before setting up any docker. They provide a default file to replace the one that comes with the container, but no explanation on how it was created and what each part is doing, no mentions of the steps required in the actual docker to get them to work. I know it's completely obvious to most of you to change the web path in say sonarr to /sonarr to get reverse proxy to work, but for someone following a step by step guide, it really isn't. I found that nugget of wisdom hidden away in the sample files for each docker (even though the readme says if you're using linuxserver dockers there's no need to change them, so there shouldn't be an expectation people are editing them). TL;DR: Critical pieces of information required to get this thing to work scattered in many different readmes = bad. Consolidate everything with step by step instructions = good. Hopefully spaceinvaderone will save us soon. PD: I used the default file from that guide and now even though I deleted the whole appdata folder and reinstalled the container every time I type https://192.160.0.11:444 it gets changed to https://192.160.0.11/htpc even though I don't have that container installed and of course it doesn't work. Do I need to reboot?
  7. I get that, but if it detects that while trying to synchronize multiple cores performance is going about half as fast as using only one core, maybe it should just give up and prioritize one core. You have more resources, but decide to use them so inefficiently that now it's taking significantly longer, then you're not very good at your job, let me tell you. This happens on both 64 and 32 bit versions btw. And it performs the fastest if I assing 4 cores to the Windows VM, but let Excel only use 1.
  8. Indeed I had the 32 bits version installed, however assigning 4 cores to the VM and switching off multi core calculation in Excel resulted in a massive speed up and the macro is now running at 2:48, so I'm confident unraid is actually running right. It's bizarre to me how inefficient Excel is at managing multiple cores, like if you suck so much at it, don't leave it enabled as default. Edit: My bad, it was actually the 64 bit version. I had the 32 bit in the other computer I was using for testing. So even in the 64 bit version allowing Excel to use multiple cores just makes calculation slower. Really mindblowing IMO.
  9. Thanks, I will look into the Office version. My CPU doesn't support hyperthreading so that's not a concern, it just has 6 physical cores. I will post my XML when I get home, but I don't anticipate any problems there.
  10. You would think that having more cores wouldn't actually make Excel significantly slower, but after disabling multi core calculation on another computer, the macro is actually computing faster as well. And it's not a little bit faster, but significantly so. This is true for any of the macros we run at work. So thanks to unraid I noticed this and I've kinda revolutionized the office btw. So disregard this thread, I guess I'll turn my ire to Microsoft and their very crappy multi core algorithms. Thanks again.
  11. I was having this issue with a Windows 10 VM. The more cores I assign the slower it gets, sadly upgrading to 6.5.3-rc1 did nothing to help the issue. It's not on startup (or maybe it is, but it's undetectable), but it's CPU performance while using the VM. I posted about it here: I followed all the instructions. I have an i5-8400 with 16GB ram (6 cores, no hyperthreading). Isolated cores 0 and 1 to unraid. If I assign only 1 core (core 5), the Excel macro I'm testing solves in 3:19, but if I use 4 cores (2,3,4,5) then it takes 4:02. It's the same on 6.5.2 and 6.5.3-rc1. I suspect I'm not the only one, since I wouldn't have known anything was wrong if I hadn't tested with a complex macro since otherwise the difference is too negligible to tell. This is pretty disappointing since I just upgraded MB, CPU and RAM to be able to work on a Windows VM and keep my unraid server. But I get comparable performance with my notebook. This is the first time I've run a VM in unraid, so there could definitely be something I'm missing, so if anyone has any ideas I'd love to test them out. Alternatively, I'd love to see people do some Excel benchmarks with 1 and then multiple cores to see if I'm the only one with the problem (unfortunately I can't share the macro since it's stuff from my work). Edit: After some further testing it turns out Excel is the culprit. In an unbelievable twist disabling multi core calculations actually results in faster calculations in Excel on any computer (and for all the macros I've tested).
  12. Updated to 6.5.3-rc1 and saw no change. The macro still takes 4:02 with 4 cores.
  13. Will do, thanks. That post talked about VM startup being affected, but made no mention of performance being affected once the VM had already started. Maybe they just hadn't noticed. Like I said without actually timing the macro I wouldn't have noticed either and since I only assign 4 cores I didn't notice any difference in startup time. Will do the update and post in that thread with my results.
  14. So I've been testing a Windows 10 VM and no matter what I do, the more cores I assign to it, the slower it performs and it's pretty linear. I have an i5-8400 with 16GB of RAM. It has 6 cores, no hyperthreading. I'm assigning 8GB to the VM and it's install on a 1TB SSD drive. I'm testing with an Excel Macro (which is actually what I need the VM for) and here are my results (all dockers are turned off and I have no other VMs): Without using cpu isolation for unRAID I was getting 3:30 with 1 core and over 4:30 with 5 (always leaving core 0 unassigned to the VM). 2 cores was around 4 minutes. After isolating cores 0 and 1, giving the VM 1 core gets me 3:19 and with 4 I'm at a 4:02 Using the <emulatorpin cpuset='0-1'/> command on the VM actually helped a little when using 4 cores, dropping the time to 3:59, but the time was exactly the same on 1 core. Just for clarity, there's no variability on the macro, it always performs exactly the same functions and takes exactly the same time every time unless something else is hogging resources. I wonder if anyone else is seeing the same kind of performance hit by assigning more cores. I'm aware Excel 2016 doesn't have amazing multi core performance, but it shouldn't be slower! Maybe a lot more people have this issue and haven't even noticed it as I'm not sure it would show up in gaming and it's not noticeable otherwise. However it's a pretty big performance hit. Unfortunately I've never had the chance to do a native Windows 10 install on that hardware, but for reference on my i7-7500U notebook with a 5196 passmark (the i5-8400 has 11791) I'm getting 4:30 on the same macro. So something is definitely wrong, any ideas?
  15. What has worked for me is not having any USB device plugged other than the USB stick with unraid. If I need a keyboard to change the BIOS settings I unplug it after save & exit. Without doing that I'll get the error almost immediately and it will cripple my speeds. I have 2 of the old Supermicro aoc-saslp-mv8.
  16. Well, that's not very good news. The issue appears to be intermittent, since I've had the server up for the last hour and I've tested the drives are indeed working and they are. Though I'm not running any dockers and I'm not downloading anything, just in case. I will look into getting a new MB though. Probably won't find one that fits that old CPU in my neck of the woods, so I'm probably gonna need a new one as well. Definitely not good news, but thanks for taking the time to answer.
  17. Yesterday for the first time 6 of my disks showed as missing from the array. Checking the cables I realized those 6 were connected to the Motherboard SATA ports while the rest are on 2 AOC-SASLP-MV8 (21 in total). This happened for the first time on 6.5.1 and I had already upgraded to 6.5.2, but hadn't reboot my server yet. It happened again on 6.5.2 while I was running a parity check (after having those failed drives before, even though it said Parity was valid). I should mention the drives showed up for about half an hour, but I didn't actually use anything from them, so they might have only shown during boot, but never actually been there? The first time they were up for several hours before disappearing though. I had random drives go missing before from the Supermicro cards, but not from the MB. Simply checking the plugs worked. I read that Marvel controllers had a bug with IOMMU and HVM so I disabled that between the first failure and the second. I wonder if I should go back to 6.4.1 which worked without problem or if my MB is actually dying. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've uploaded the diagnostics of the latest failure (when I took it, it only showed 4 drives as missing, but then the other 2 went missing as well). tower-diagnostics-20180517-0225.zip
  18. Ok it worked. It did wipe all my settings though. Good thing you told me to back them up.
  19. Other than the directory with my config files do I need to check anything else? As an experiment I tried unistalling all of your plugins and then stopping the array. After starting again I tried installing Sonarr and got the install file not found error again. Last time when I manually changed the config file I got no error, but the program still didn't load, I have no idea if it was downloaded or not. Edit: I'd also like to thank you for your help and super fast responses. It's really appreciated.
  20. I stopped the array and I had to manually kill a few mono processes that kept running and wouldn't let unraid unmount the disks. I started the array again (without rebooting, which I'm trying to avoid if at all possible for various reasons) and it said Sonarr start OK, but it doesn't show on the webgui and when I go to the settings page it says stopped. I tried starting it again and it says OK, but doesn't actually start. I guess I'll give a reboot a try tomorrow when I have more time, but otherwise I'm out of ideas.
  21. Did you ever get around to do that? I tried again last night and it wasn't working for me. I wonder if I'm gonna have to reboot. I'd like to avoid that if possible.
  22. The last few times I tried the Web GUI froze and I had to kill a process via telnet to get it back. The process was: /usr/bin/php /usr/local/arc/wrap_get.php webGui/template.php path=Settings/Sonarr&prev=Settings and I can't see the rest.
  23. My install is the default /usr/local/Sonarr Config is: /mnt/cache/Sonarr/AppData The config is not correct in the .cfg file since the app didn't install so it's showing the default directory. The message I get on the GUI is: Stopping Sonarr...Stop OK: Already stopped Installing Sonarr...Install failed: Install file missing Now I lost the GUI and can't access it anymore. Server is still up though.
  24. I updated to the latest Sonarr plugin and then the app wouldn't start anymore. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to no effect. Then I deleted all the dependencies and tried again and I'm getting a install file missing message when I try to setup the app. I'm on unraid 6.1.6. Any ideas on how to fix it? I ran the chmod command above, but it didn't seem to do anything.
  25. I'm having the exact same issue with sabnzbd unsing Phaze's plugin. Did you ever solve it?
