  1. It's not... whatever Dynamix temp is polling for CPU temp is not what IPMI is reporting. I did find another option (coretemp instead of cpu temp) which is closer, but still doesn't line up with what IPMI is reporting for CPU temp. Dunno.
  2. Migration complete! The most challenging parts stemmed more from booting back into unRAID and making sure my device assignments were correct (the first time none of my SSDs showed up. Seems I had a bad breakout cable, so I had to swap it out. Luckily I had an extra one). For some reason unRAID also thought I had an unclean shutdown (I didn't), so I had to cancel the parity check. I'll probably kick it off again in a day or two once I've had time to play around with everything. So far all seems to be running well! The IPMI on this board is fantastic--so much better than my old SM mobo that required an outdated java client. Idle temps look great so far with the Noctua NH-U9S paired with an IC graphite thermal pad instead of thermal paste. It was a bit of a gamble on my part, but everything I've read said it really only loses about 2C compared with high quality paste, with the benefit of it not having a limited lifespan like paste. So far so good. @Hoopster did you have to do anything special to get the Dynamix temp plugin to detect the "array fan speed"? All I get is "Not used" and am not presented with any options. Also, oddly, it is constantly reporting 32C. The sensors it detected were coretemp and nct6775. Even when stress testing my CPU with a video encode, it stayed at 32C, whereas the IPMI support plugin showed it hovering between 70-74C. Looks like our cpu coolers are both performing well! Also, are there vulnerability mitigations that I need to disable in the BIOS? Despite my having installed the plugin, I still seem to have some enabled. Looking forward to playing around with everything some more in the coming days. Super excited about this upgrade.
  3. Pretty sure if you edit the container and access the advanced settings, you can change the webgui URL to your liking.
  4. @Hoopster Oh nice. That’s super helpful. Thank you kindly! Truth be told I’d probably rarely hit 100% if ever at all. I run a couple VMs and a lot of containers but given the 16 threads and QSV I think there’s plenty of headroom with this processor. Ok, now I’m leaning toward the Noctua... I think I’ll give it a shot tomorrow when I get my delivery!
  5. Decisions decisions. Picked up 2 cpu coolers: the same Be Quiet that Hoopster used, and the Noctua NH-U9S (with the intention of returning one of them). Noctua support seemed to think that the NH-U9S may not be enough for this processor. I can't find any documentation that says the 2288G peaks at 230W... but now I'm leaning towards the Be Quiet since Hoopster has had good results. Any thoughts?
  6. @Burizado, I purchased as-is then messaged the seller letting him know I was waiting to make payment until he let me know what to do about the extra RAM. Later that evening he messaged me asking to complete the auction payment and he would send a separate PP invoice for remaining amount (which he did about a day later). I think he's just busy--there were times prior to my purchase when I'd ask a question via ebay and he would be very responsive, then answers to follow up Qs would be fairly delayed. My combo should be arriving tomorrow!
  7. I purchased one of the new combos and upped the RAM to 64GB. Hoping it ships early next week. Thanks, Hoopster, for posting about your experience and guiding me through this process!
  8. Awesome news! Would you be willing to share your Guacozy setup? Thanks!
  9. Wish I pulled the trigger when you posted about this. I reached out to them asking if they were going to offer a similar package and they told me memory is 1-3 months out and much more expensive. How's your combo working out??
  10. Hmmm... interesting. I've tried with Chrome, Brave, and Firefox to access the Firefox docker via Guacamole. Don't think I have any configuration or extensions that would cause this (though I did perform the trick you referenced to open new windows in a tab, but that's about it). I'll keep playing around. Thanks!
  11. Another weird question--if I try to access the unRAID GUI web-based terminal, I can't see the text output or my own input. It's just a grey box with a visible cursor and nothing else. Any ideas of how to get the terminal to properly display? Thanks in advance!
  12. Djoss actually answered a similar question of mine here. Working great for me--new windows are opened as a new tab, which can easily be closed.
  13. Watching this thread! I am looking to upgrade my server as well and am in the same boat of wanting both ipmi and igpu for quicksync. Please keep us posted!
  14. Has anyone seen Guacozy before? Looks really interesting! Wonder if it can be run alongside this container to use the existing guacd service. https://github.com/paidem/guacozy
  15. Weird/basic question, but does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut to switch between or close Firefox windows? In the unRAID gui, for example, if I click on a docker log, the window goes full screen and I have no ability to just close that individual window (or navigate to something else) that I am aware of. Thanks in advance!
  16. Trying via VPN so I'll play around when I get home, but my VMs didn't start (coming from rc1) so I am trying to update but it's hanging on Updating... I also am seeing the previously reported "Array Stopped" message in the footer of the web gui. I'll open/post to specific reports if I can't seem to figure this out.
  17. Seamless upgrade! from 6.7.2. Love the new login page. Everything running smooth so far.
  18. Thanks for the quick writeup! I was scratching my head for a good 10 minutes until I realized I had to toggle Inactive to Active. Not sure why my mind read that as clicking inactive would inactivate it. Once I properly toggled that setting, my phone immediately connected. I can access my network devices by IP address, but didn't have any luck by local hostname. Not sure if its a config issue on my router (pfsense) or just how it is with Wireguard. No issue with that though when connecting via openvpn on pfsense. This is a great method to get secure access to your server/network without much fuss, and am looking forward to seeing how the implementation progresses! I think it will help a lot of unRAID users!
  19. Happy Pro-license user since 2010 (you were, what, 5 at the time?). First build was an i3 in a tower case. I actually just recently retired one of the last remaining drives from that build--not even due to errors, just wanted to rid my system of all old Green 2TB drives for speed purposes. Then, like many people here, I did a JohnM Atlas-clone build around 2012. Aside from adding another HBA and many, many disks, my server has pretty much remained the same since then, happily chugging away 24/7. Unraid is great for many reasons: the drive aggregation, the continual evolution (VMs, Dockers FTW), the reliability, the community... I've probably turned 10-12 people on to Unraid, and I don't even have many tech-inclined friends. Happy Birthday, Unraid!!
  20. This issue popped up for me last night and its been bugging me ever since. I have Plex data on an unassigned SSD, was direct streaming/direct playing a file, and I started getting constant hangs while watching a video. Perhaps it was because I was trying to watch a 4K remux, but I still experienced this issue with the file on the cache array. Cache is connected via mobo SATA3, whereas my parities and data drives are connected via a IBM1015/LSI/expander... so I'd think the mover process wouldn't interfere with the cache at all.
  21. Just purchased this app. Excellent job! Question--have you ever revisted the request to implement unassigned devices? Even if its limited, like simply showing the devices and space on the disks view?
  22. Headless 6.6.7 upgrade to rc6 here. No issues at all.
  23. I'd like some advice on a reconfigure of my cache/SSD drives. I've been using a 4-SSD cache pool for quite some time (~500 GB total size), housing my appdata, Dockers, and a single Windows 10 VM. I have noticed that when files are transferred to/being unpacked on the cache pool that my Dockers appear to hang. I figure it may help performance by separating out some of these SSDs for specific purposes. In preparation I've purchased 2 additional 500 GB SSDs, and I plan on sunsetting 2 of the 4 existing 250 GB SSDs. My initial thought is to just remove the pool all together and setup the following: 500 GB SSD for cache (maybe x2 for a pool, but just not sure if its necessary) I used to have the mover run once per week, but if I did remove the redundancy benefits of the pool, I'd just run it nightly to limit the potential for loss to one day. 250 GB SSD for VM 250 GB SSD for Dockers/appdata I'd need to set up a backup script to write the data of these other SSDs to the array... maybe a combination of the CA appdata backup plugin and some other script for the VM Does anyone have any suggestions? Or perhaps you have your system configured in an optimal way to minimize apparent Docker/VM hangs on write? Thanks so much!!
  24. I purchased a couple OEM licenses from a somewhat questionable online source, and I've had no issues activating them on both unRAID and VMWare Fusion for my Mac.
  25. I just copied my whole sonarr appdata directory as a backup and upgraded in place. Been working great. My guess is it changes the database, so I wouldn't assume going back to stable will be possible. But if you try running it for a few days and don't like it, you can always just restore your backed up folder and won't be too far out of date.
